Pokhara is situated 200 kilometer west of Kathmandu at an alleviation of 3000 ft. Pokhara is a natural gift of our country.It has a rare combination of the Lon arrays of snowed peaks, crystals, clean lakes,panoramic Annapurna himal and the warm climate,which remains favorable all the year round. the monsoon rains are strongest from June to august and other months are relatively dry. it has the beautiful fewa tal , seti river, mahendra cave and the various places of interest for the tourist like KI singh bridge, binder bashini temple, museum devis fall and Buddhist temple etc. Pokhara is situated in the northwestern corner of the pokhara valley, which is a widening of the Seti Gandaki valley. The seti river and its tributaries have dug impressive canyons into the valley floor, which are only visible from higher viewpoints or from the air.To the east of Pokhara is the municipality of lekhnath a recently established town in the valley.In no other place do mountains rise so quickly. In this area, within 30 km, the elevation rises from 1,000 m to over 7,500 m. Due to this sharp rise in altitude the area of Pokhara has one of the highest precipitation rates of the country (over 4,000 mm/year). Even within the city there is a noticeable difference in the amount of rain between the south of the city by the lake and the north at the foot of the mountains.The climate is sub-tropical but due to the elevation the temperatures are moderate: the summer temperatures average between 25–35 °C, in winter around -2–15 °C.In the south the city borders on Phewa Tal (lake) (4.4 km at an elevation of about 800 m above sea level), in the north at an elevation of around 1,000 m the outskirts of the city touch the base of the Annapurna mountain range From the southern fringes of the city 3 eight-thousanders and, in the middle of the Annapurna range, the Machhapuchchhre ('Fishtail') with close to 7,000 m can be seen. This mountain dominates the northern horizon of the city and its name derives from its twin peaks, not visible from the south . presented here some of the interesting within the pokhara valley.
