Pokhara, an idyllic city in the Western Development Region
of the Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal,has an added attraction in
the form of the International Mountain Museum, the only
museum of its kind in the world. The city is located 200 km.
west of Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal,and is situated at
an altitude of 827m above the main sea level. Referred to as
the lake City, Pokhara has the serenity of the lakes and the
awe-inspiring Himalayas in the background creating an
ambience of tranquility and magical spell.
It is also a starting point of trekking and rafting
destinations. A visit to Nepal without a sojourn to Pokhara
is often considered incomplete. And ,while in Pokhara, a
visit to the International Mountain Museum is a must.
