Nestled in a valley and sitting on a lake so still it reflects the mountains, Pokhara is the gateway to the Annapurna Ranges and Nepal's second largest city.

The Annapurna Range is a truly amazing region to explore with its spectacular mountain wilderness and isolated communities, each with their own ancestral customs and traditions.
