Another of Pokhara's natural wonders that unfailingly interests visitors is the Seti Gandaki river. Flowing right through the city, the boisterous river runs completely underground at places.

KI Singh Pool, a small bridge near British Camp, provides a perfect view of the river's dreadful rush and the deep gorge made by its powerful flow.

The Seti river begins from the snowfields and ice sheets around the twin pinnacles of Api and Nampa in the south-bound slants of the fundamental Himalayas. The waterway first streams in a south-easterly bearing, at that point, turns and streams in a south-westerly lastly south-easterly again before joining the Karnali  River.

The Nepal Gurkha warriors are a piece of the British Military for a long time and it has been accounted for that the Gurkha troopers are probably the fiercest contenders in a fight. The gallery has an assortment of a wide range of memorable Military things - weapons, rifles, outfits, the well-known Gurka blades, and numerous photos of spots where the Gurkha warriors had served. 

REGIONAL MUSEUM

The Pokhara Museum, located between the bus stop and Mahendra Pul, reflects the ethnic mosaic of western Nepal.

DAVI'S FALLS

Locally known as the Patale Chango (Hell's Fall). Devi's Fall (also known as Devin's and David's) is a lovely waterfall lying about two kilometers south-west of the Pokhara airport on the Siddhartha Highway. Devi's Falls' water shapes a tunnel reaching the bottom. This passage is roughly 500 feet (150 m) long and runs 100 feet (30 m) subterranean level. On 31 July 1961, a Swiss couple swam, however, the lady suffocated in a pit in light of the flood. Her body was recuperated 3 days after the fact in waterway Phusre with incredible exertion. Her dad wished to name it "David's falls" after her, however, changed it to Devi's Fall.

GUPTESHWOR CAVE

The cave was allegedly discovered in the 16th century by some local men who stumbled upon it when clearing some grass. Within the dark cave, they discovered many shrines and statues dedicated to Shiva and other Hindu deities. These included Mahadev and Parvati, Nageswor, and Saraswati. Towards the read of the cave, the men discover that a waterfall ran through it. Further, inspection revealed to them that the waterfall came from Patale Chango (later known as Davis falls). The cave is a cavern situated in Pokhara, opposite Davis Fall, the water from Davis fall goes through this cave. Gupteshwor Mahadev cave is one of the significant attractions of Pokhara. This is a holy cave that has a figure of a lord shiva inside. The natural cave is astonishing and worth visiting. 

TAL BARAHI TEMPLE

The Barahi temple is the most important monument in Pokhara. Built almost in the center of Phewa Lake, this two-storied pagoda is dedicated to the goddess Barahi, representing- the female force Shakti. Devotees can be seen, especially on Saturdays, carrying male animals and fowl across the lake to be sacrificed to the deity. People who explore Fewa Lake are quite familiar with a little island right in the middle of the lake. This island is home to the mighty Tal Barahi temple.  The only way to visit this temple is by boat. The temple is a great place to relax and observe the holy rituals being carried out.

FEWA LAKE

Fewa Lake, the second largest lake in the Kingdom, is the center of all attractions in Pokhara. It is the largest and most enchanting of the eight lakes that add to the beauty of Pokhara. Here, one can sail or row a hired boat across to the water or visit the island temple in its middle. The eastern shore, popularly known as lakeside or Baidam, is the favorite home base for travelers and is where most of the hotels, restaurants, and handicraft shops are located.

In contrast to the gaudy tourist development of Lakeside, the steep southwestern shore is densely forested and alive with birdlife. The lush Rani Ban, or Queen’s Forest, bestows an emerald hue to the lake, and on a clear day, the Annapurna mountains are perfectly reflected on its mirror surface.

The view of Fishtail and other mountains reflected in the lake, the little island and the Tal Barahi temple in the middle, the white stupa on the top of the hill, the gliders jumping from Sarangkot, the Ultralight soaring up high and paralleled each other, buzzing, all at once can be seized in the mild breeze over the Phewa Lake. Numerous brightly colored wooden boats and sailboats can be seen lined up on the shore awaiting people to take them on a leisurely and mesmerizing ride around the lake. The trip of boating highlights is View fishtail, nearest hills, and Sarangkot.

MAHENDRA CAVE

Another of nature's wonders in Pokhara is the Mahendra Gupha. This large limestone cave has a temple at a later end. Another cave named Bat cave is just near to this cave where one can see the bats hanging on the cave. It is located in Batulechaur near Pokhara, Kaski district. It is a rare ecological wonder, the former kind grows in the ceilings, and the latter growing on the floor. There are areas in the cave where both the forms have grown long enough to connect and have formed interesting and unfamiliar patterns and shapes.  The locals believe these shapes represent different Hindu gods.

BAT CAVE

For those looking for a different level of adventure, the Bat cave or Chamero Gufa in Pokhara is just perfect. As the name suggests, it is where one can find thousands of bats thriving in the dark, gloomy and moist chambers of the cave. These are mostly Horseshoe Bats, and they are found clinging upside down on the ceilings of the cool (chilly even) and dingy caves. If one's up for it, they can even explore the complete cave (which takes about 10 minutes) till the end and wiggle their way through a narrow shaft to reach the surface. This cave could get extremely confined, so those who have claustrophobia might want to rethink their visit.
