 davidjo Says:  There are several (4) refugee camps around Pokhara to visit, Tashipalkhel, Paljorling, Tashiling, and Jambling. Each can be reached on a bicycle. The Tibetans at each camp are friendly and will be pleased to show you around. The nearest one is easy to reach, go to the... 

 davidjo Says:  On the lakeside you will come across a Hindu Shrine overlooking the lake. Lord Shiva is inside while Buddhist flags wave in the wind outside because many Nepalese accept aspects of both religions. This is a pleasant place to hang out for a while and enjoy the cool breeze...

 bradbeaman Says:  There are plenty of marine fossils sold in the Pokhara gift shops. They start at 100 rupees and go up to 900 rupees. These are marine fossils found at a height of 9000 feet. My explanation is the flood at the time of Noah. These Fossil ammonites (coiled marine cephalopods)...

 narkaji Says:  I always passed by this when I went for a walk. I decided to give it a try and I was not disappointed. Away from the road and right next to the lake, you can't beat the location. The staff are friendly and the food is also pretty good. A good place if you just want to chill... 

 narkaji Says:  This was one of the first place I found in Pokhara which served real coffee. The sitting area is small but the coffee is really good. The breakfast is also not bad. I had a egg chapati roll which was very filling... an excellent way to start the day.

 johnosborne Says:  A Dutch-Aussie creation, opened a few months ago. Situated a little away from the touristy strip of Pokhara in the neighbourhood of the people, this bar embodies the "same same, but different" mentality. A welcomed mixed clientele of bikers, locals, general transients,... 

 Liatris1 Says:  We had to change our trekking plans around Pokhara (beacause of illness) and grew very fond of this off-road motorbike. (photo) We tried a normal motorbike the first days, it is ok for the short rides, but it was bad for me at the back of the bike, over the speed bumps,...
