Trip Highlights

 

• Fewa lake

 

Tal is the travelers’ focal point in Pokhara, and is the second-largest lake in Nepal. In contrast to the gaudy tourist development of Lakeside, the steep southwestern shore is densely forested and alive with birdlife. The lush Rani Ban, or Queen’s   Forest, bestows an emerald hue to the lake, and on a clear day, the   Annapurna mountains are perfectly reflected on its mirror surface.

 

• Davis fall

 

Davis Falls is a small waterfall that sits at Pokhara in the Kaski district of Nepal. At first sight, there is nothing much enchanting or even appealing about the waterfall, except a few splashes here and there. To fully witness its splendor, one must visit it at the peak of monsoon. During that time, the water tears through the rocky slopes and disappears down an underground tunnel. The roaring noise of the rapids drowns the sound of humans and the splashing of the water demands either a raincoat or an umbrella. The high waters don’t stop tourists from treading close to the water but tread too close and you might drown in it.

A Saligram, according to Hindu mythology is a propitious stone. It is said that the temple was created after the goddess ordered king Khadag Bum Malla to set up her statue here. The Bindabasini temple was then founded in BS 1845. Since its establishment, Bhagwati has been an object of worship here daily. Animal sacrifices are typically presented at the temple on Saturdays and Tuesdays. The Hindu festival of Dashain sees large numbers of believers coming to offer sacrifices at Binhyabasini Mandir. Indeed, there is little space for tourists during the festival of Dashain.

Everest–in 1953. It was a member of that expedition, one Wilfrid Noyce, who came the closest anybody ever has to the summit on a 1957 expedition.

• Elephant Safari/Jeep safari

• The elephant safari is one of the best ways to spot wildlife from up close. Because the elephants can come close to other animals without them noticing that there are people on the elephants back, you can come up to 1 meter from other animals. During the trip, you are never alone. The rider sits in the front and next to him; you are always accompanied by professional guides and naturalists.

 

• One-horned rhino

 Poaching of greater one-horned rhinos for horns to sell on the international market as a bogus ‘miracle cure’ is an ongoing threat to this magnificent species. Their horns are very valuable on the black market, despite being much smaller than African rhino horns, and despite bans on trade by the Nepali and Indian governments and globally by CITES (the international treaty aiming to protect species by regulating trade).

The lowland grasslands, swamps and meadows favored by rhinos also represent prime grazing for cattle and very fertile cultivable land. As a result, these habitats have become densely populated by people.
