Pokhara is the second largest city in Nepal.It is located around  200 km. west of the Kathmandu valley.Despite being small in area in comparison to Kathmandu valley,its geography miraculously varies within few distance form place to place.Dhaulagiri,Annapurna an Mansula,the three highest mountains in the world are within around 15-35 miles from the valley.Due to the closeness of the three highest peak of the world,the city  is base for the trekkers undertaking Annapurna circuit. It is even home for Gurkas soldiers who are known for their bravery.It is a land of spectacular beauty crowned by Himalayas.Mesmerizing view of Mount Machhapuchhare reflects in the clear water of Phewa Lake leaves everyone speechless.
