Pokhara

Pokhara sits on the northern shore of Phewa Lake in central Nepal, with the Annapurna massif rising dramatically to the north. The city serves as the primary gateway for trekkers heading into the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri circuits. Early morning from the lakeside offers reflections of Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) on calm water, a classic photography composition. The surrounding valley combines subtropical warmth with high-altitude panoramas accessible by road.
