Tour? Discover Pokhara (Nepal)?

Nepal is a country known for the highest mountains in the world: 7 of the 10 existing peaks over 8000 m are found here. "Trekking" and "Mountaineering" are the buzz words with focus on the Pokhara and Everest regions. But there is more, like medieval Kathmandu, wonderful nature, Rhinos and shopping. Unfortunately Nepal is also one of the poorest countries on the planet and many Nepalese leave home to work abroad. And sometimes the country gets hit by huge earthquakes.

Pokhara is the starting point for treks in the Western Himalayas. It used to be small, but has grown significantly. Some wealthier Nepalese have settled here. A morning canoeing experience on the lake can be really beautiful, if weather and views on Annapurna and Machu Puchare mountains allow.
