📍 Destination Overview
Pokhara, Nepal's second city, nestles by Phewa Lake at the foot of the Annapurna range, at about 820 metres. The calm water mirrors the pyramidlike peak of Machhapuchhre, and the relaxed Lakeside district brims with cafes and lodges. As the gateway to world-famous treks it also ranks among the top paragliding spots, where adventure and serene mountain-lake scenery unite.
