Pokhara Valley Biking
Pokhara is the starting or finishing point for some of the Nepal's most popular treks such as the Annapurna Circuit, The Jomsom Trek and the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek. Its fame rests on the natural beauty of its lakeside location and its nearness to the mountains, not on a great historical or cultural endowment. Picturesque villages, gently rolling chains of hills with terraced fields of rice, subtropical forests and the unique outline of the Himalayas - whose gigantic mountains are only fifty kilometers away and seem so close that you could touch them.
