5 Days Pokhara Yoga Tour

The city spreads about the area of about 12 kilometers. Almost from the middle of the city has flown through a Seti Gandaki River. Pokhara has maintained itself as the most expensive city of Nepal after Namche Bazar in Solukhumbu.

The northern point of Pokhara called Lumle, also the base of the Annapurna Mountain range, is situated in the height of 1740 meters whereas the southern frontier of the city is Phewa Lake which lies at the height of about 827 meters above the sea level.

Even though the city was mostly populated by the Bahun, Chhetri, and Dalit in the past, the Gurkha recruitment has seen the exponential growth of Gurung and Magar community in the city.

This city has now been the place of Hindu, Buddhist and few Muslim communities reside to the northeast part of the city called Miya Patan.

Baidam is situated to the southwestern part of the city which is separated by the Seti Gandaki River. Baidam is also the popular name of Lake Side.

To the western side of the Seti Gandaki River on the area of Baidam lies the second largest lake of Nepal with the area of 4.43 square kilometres called Phewa Lake.

The Lake Side has been charmed by the shore of the Phewa Lake as its border. Phewa Lake possesses the temple on its small island. The temple is called Varahi temple which is dedicated to the Lord Vishnu.

The attraction of the lake is signified by the establishment of the temple on the one hand. On the other, the boat riding is another marvellous charm of this lake.

Your welcome at the shore of the lake is honoured by the boats ready to sail you on the majestic lake. On a clear sunny day, you would be able to see the shadow of the mountains in the Phewa Lake. It is also a part of our yoga tour to Pokhara.

To its northern part, the area of Baidam, Dam side, Lake Side has been occupied by the restaurants and lodges. To the southwestern part of the lake is beautified by the Rani Ban (Queen’s Forest).

The area has been clamored by the set-up of few restaurants over there. On the top of the southwestern part of the lake, a white Buddhist shrine called World Peace Pagado illuminates bright and white offering the peace to the city.

Located in immediate distance, both Mahendra and Chamero cave are one of the famous sites for visitors in Pokhara. To the northern part of the city is located the Mahendra Cave which is one of the most popular caves in Nepal.

Entering the entrance of the gate, you walk a little further to reach the mouth of the cave. The stone stairs made in the front of the cave leads you down into the cave.

You would see the worshipped stone when you further follow the path of the cave which is Shiva Linga. Another name of the cave is Varah Gufa. The lights are fitted on the ceiling which is not very tall that you reach by your head.

In some paths, you also need to bend your head to make the path easier. The visit inside the cave would be completed within ten minutes or so even if you do worship and take a few photos.

Next interesting part of our pokhara yoga tour is Chamero gufa. Chamero gufa also called Bat Cave is located to the western side in a neighbouring distance of Mahendra Cave. The entrance is welcomed by the clamour and chirping of the bats hung on the ceiling of the cave.

The visit to this cave demands courage as it is dark as well as slippery. The most adventurous, exciting and challenging part of your visit to this cave would be to slide you out of the narrowed point of the cave which ends the cave’s journey.

It is a general belief that those who have committed sin can’t climb up through this small hole of the cave. And those who are virtuous can get themselves out even though they are heavier in weight.

Above all, this can be the most interesting and courageous act of the visit. If you have a bag or any important accessories with you, don’t forget to hand over to the friends or someone reliable who is on the top of the cave.

Don’t get bothered if you have got some stain and dirt on your clothes after you exit of the cave through that minuscule space, it is the mark that you are a righteous being of this world! Otherwise, you can keep your bags at the ticket counter.

Sarangkot is the perfect point to see the sunrise in the morning and enjoy the 180-degree view of snow-capped mountains glittering in front of you makes this yoga tour in Pokhara more entertaining.

If you want to continue the trail getting on the vehicle then you can even further. However, the point would come where you would have to get off and make your legs stretch and ready to pave the way upward.

The shops and lodges located beside the trail would offer you the stay as well as the meal, snacks and goods you would want to buy as a souvenir.

The ascending path to Sarangkot would make you feel like you are climbing up to stairs to reach the top of a sky-crapper.
