Routes and commutes
Known as the gateway to the Himalayas, Pokhara in central Nepal is popular with adventure travellers due to the town’s proximity to the the Annapurna Range with three of the 10 highest mountains in the world (Dhaulagiri, Annapurna I and Manaslu) within easy reach. Soak up the magnificence of Lake Phewa, the second largest in Nepal, or head to the top of the World Peace Pagoda, built by Buddhist monks. Take in the breathtaking views of the Annapurna massif from Sarangkot village – a truly unique experience.
There is good news for people who want to visit Annapurna Base Camp, as a new trekking route has been established from Narchyang of Myagdi district to the base camp. The new route runs along the bank of Nilgiri River and takes almost three days to reach the base camp. Tourism entrepreneurs have said that this is a safe trekking route and they are expecting to attract more tourists by using this route.
