Few places in the world might have a splendid variety of natural beauty crammed into one small area like valley of Pokhara,　the headquarters of Western Development Region. It is a rare combination of the long arrays of snow clad peaks, crystal clear lakes, turbulent rivers with deep gorges and picturesque villages inhabited by simple and frindly ethnic people. Situated at the lap of the panoramic Annapurna Himal, the climate of Pokhara remains favorable all the year round it is neither too warm nor too cold. The monsoon rains are strongest during June to August.

Easy to Access

Pokhara is linked with Kathmandu by Prithvi highway and the Indian border of Sunauli in the south by Siddhartha highway; Pokhara has daily regular bus services to and from these places. A new highway under construction is soon to link it with Baglung district. All major cities including Gorkha within the Kingdom have regular to and fro bus services from Pokhara. The 200 km. distance between Kathmandu and Pokhara can be covered by in 7 hours. Royal Nepal and few private airlines operate several daily flights between Kathmandu and Pokhara. The flight taking only 35 minutes proceeds all along the western Himalayan range, which comes to view through the right hand window of the plane.
