Early morning, visit to <strong>Sarangkot</strong> for sunrise view of <strong>Annapurna Mountain Range</strong>.<br />
<br />
<strong>Sarangkot</strong> is a small hilltop which is famous for its breath taking view of sunrise across Annapurna range and Fishtail Mountain. From here, you can see a panoramic sweep of Himalayan peaks, from Dhaulagiri (8167m) in the west to the perfect pyramid that is Machhapuchhare (6997m) and the rounded peak of Annapurna II (7937m) in the east. Most people come here at dawn, when the sun picks out the peaks in brilliant colours.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Later visit to <strong>Bindabashini Temple, Davi&rsquo;s Fall</strong> and <strong>Gupteshwar Cave</strong>.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
This temple dedicated to the Hindu Goddess Durga is located near the busy Old Bazaar of Pokhara. The white pagoda-styled building at some 3000 feet above sea level is of great religious importance to Hindus living in Pokhara. People throng to this temple daily and also offer sacrifices of animals. One may also get to witness a Hindu wedding ceremony taking place in the temple premises.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Davi&#39;s Fall</strong> is a lovely waterfall lying about 2 Km south-west of Pokhara. Legend has it that a trekker (Devin, David) was washed away by the Pardi Khola and mysteriously disappeared down into an underground passage beneath the fall. <strong>Gupteshwar Cave</strong> is one of the largest caves in Pokhara dedicated to Lord Shiva.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Return to hotel for breakfast.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Later visit to <strong>World Peace Pagoda</strong>.<br />
<br />
Peace Pagoda is a Buddhist stupa designed to provide a focus for people of all races and creeds, and to help unite them in their search for world peace. Most (though not all) have been built under the guidance of Nichidatsu Fujii (1885&ndash;1985), a Buddhist monk from Japan and founder of the Nipponzan-MyÅhÅji Buddhist Order. Fujii was greatly inspired by his meeting with Mahatma Gandhi in 1931 and decided to devote his life to promoting non-violence. In 1947, he began constructing Peace Pagodas as shrines to World peace.&nbsp; Balanced on a narrow ridge high above Phewa Lake, the brilliant-white Peace Pagoda of Pokhara offers spectacular views of the Annapurna range and Lake Phewa. Pilgrims climb the hill using paths from the different parts of the city or take a boat across the lake and begin their climb at the shore.<br />
<br />
<strong>Enjoy boat ride in Phewa Lake</strong>.<br />
<br />
Phewa Lake is the main centre of attraction in Pokhara and the second largest lake in the Kingdom. It is the largest and most enchanting of the three lakes that add to the resplendence of Pokhara. Here, one can sail or row a hired boat across to the water or visit the island temple in the middle.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Later visit to <strong>International Mountain Museum</strong>.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Mountains and mountaineering have a history of their own. Without preserving it, it will not be long before all the records and evidences will be lost forever. The basic objective for its establishment was made to record, document and chronicle the past and present development of mountaineering activities in the world in general and to preserve the saga of the momentous feats in the history of mountaineering in the Himalayan peaks in particular.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Stay overnight in hotel.&nbsp;<br />
