Spectacular view of Bandipur town and surrounding mountains. Well worth the steep hike to the top. Good stone steps and rest shelters along the path make this a delight.

"Tilicho Lake" in the Annapurna range situated at 4,919 meters (16,138 ft), the World's Highest Lake, is one of the most popular hikes/treks of the Annapurna Circuit trek. Manang village is the tourist hub place for Annapurna Circuit with Tilicho Lake trekking. Trekkers can expect the facilities for telephone, internet, money exchange, small shopping, high altitude hospital, etc. The trekking routes are just so spectacular surrounded by the magnificent-massif. Awesome place, must visit!

Muktinath is an Exotic Pilgrimage location for the Hindus and Buddhist . Most Important it is well connected from the main city of Kathmandu . The Best and new thing I liked was it is managed by Buddhist Nuns who look calm and composed on face and the spiritual aura of Kali Gandaki river .

This place is just magnificent. The roads to here is very hard and tough, but anything that is this beautiful deserves some hard work. The views through out the way is amazing. Hotels are all family owned so be ready to adjust if you go in a peak season.

The Jomsom Muktinath trek traces the trail from Pokhara all the way to Kali Gandhaki valley with Muktinath the pilgrimage site as the end point of the trek. Along this trail you will enjoy the natural splendors as well as the unique culture of the Jomsom region. The Jomsom Muktinath trek provides the double pleasures for the trekkers to view of two great Himalayan ranges, the Annapurna and the Dhaulagiri range.This trek offers the availability of lodges and the easy access to the highland region of the Himalayas within a limited time frame.

We enjoyed our boat ride and hike up to the World Peace Pagoda so much that we arranged an early morning paddle the next day with the same boat oarsman, Gautam, at the location across from the Glacier Hotel. He is very good at spotting birds and monkeys and took us to the best places to see them. It was very peaceful and scenic to be on the lake in the morning while there were few other boaters and there were lots of birds to see.

The World Peace Pagoda in Pokhara is one of an estimated 80+ Peace Pagodas that are located around the world today. The Pokhara Peace Pagoda was built after World War II by the Buddhist monks from the Japanese Nipponzan Myohoji organization to promote world peace. The Pagoda is located on a hilltop, and our small group tour had utilized a small tour bus that was capable of holding 16 tourists plus the guide and driver. Our tour driver drove past the main parking area that was intended for the big, full-sized buses and drove all the way to a small taxi drop-off area - saving maybe about 20 minutes of uphill hiking. If I remember correctly, the hiking time from the taxi drop-off area to the Pagoda still required 20 to 30 minutes of uphill walking. We had arrived at the Pagoda hill before daybreak - before the big tour groups had arrived. Once at the top of the hill, there is a small park area where the Pagoda is located. The views from this hill-top park are outstanding - views of the Pagoda, the mountains in the background, Pokhara city skyline below the hill and the sunrise over the city skyline - fantastic views!

I'd definitely recommend visit to Sarangkot to the more athletically inclined folks as a nice early morning run from Pokhara's Lakeside, or wherever you are staying... The cool air, and beautiful views over the Phewa Lake to the south, and stunning Himalayan vistas of the Annapurna range to the north are DEFINITELY worth to walk, or run, if you are up for it, the steep middle hills to reach it. My photos speak for themselves... For the lazier ones, there are plenty of cab rides to the top from anywhere in Pokhara. Although, they will probably 'milk' you for the 'tourist' surcharge, or even "upsell" you on the guided tour... Hey, it's your money but do it on a nice day;) Btw, when you get to the top, you don't need to pay the fee to go to the view tower. Just walk for about 150-200 yards on the road to the left and you'll hit a nice clearing with Tibetan prayer flags with amazing views...
