The rare combination of snow clad peaks and snow fed lakes and rivers has helped to make the valley of Pokhara (210 km from Kathmandu) one of the most picturesque natural attractions in Nepal. A must for all visitors to Pokhara valley is the Phewa Lake. It occupies a central location in Nepal and is dominated by the peaks of Annapurna range. Although Pokhara is a base for all treks to the Annapurna region, several mini-treks can also be organized.
