John Saboe's Far East Travels

Pokhara is considered the tourism capital of Nepal. There are countless treks that begin or end in Pokhara including the great Annapurna Circuit, Annapurna Base Camp, Upper Mustang and Poonhill. Situated on beautiful Phewa Lake this is a much more relaxing experience than the capital of Kathmandu. In this episode I revisit the Peace Pagoda with views of some of the highest mountains on the planet. Listen to the drums and faint chanting from the monks during this episode, a treat when visiting the Peace Pagoda, one of two located in Nepal. I have spent a few days on two occasions in Pokhara and could easily find things to do on a 3rd visit that I've never experienced. It's a different side of Nepal and although there isn't as much cultural sites as you'll find in Kathmandu there are plenty of hills to walk and serene places to visit that will stimulate you in a very different way.
