Beautiful scenery, fresh air, great experience and lovely weather! A must to see in ones lifetime if one can.

I hiked up in the summer rainy season. It was sunny in the morning and I saw the snow-capped mountains. It rained on the way back in the afternoon. The scenery was beautiful. It is worth a visit. Hiking [from the foot of Phewa Lake to the top of the mountain (snow mountain viewing platform) at an average speed of about 3 hours] Bus (90 Nepalese rupees/trip) to the town (you can transfer to the Fawa Lake bus for 25 Nepalese rupees/trip) Cable car (8 US dollars/one way, 12 US dollars/round trip) Taxi. No matter which way you travel, it is worth a visit. Getting up early and hiking up to watch the sunrise on the snow-capped mountains will give you a different experience. Different altitudes have different scenery. There is a quiet and beautiful, isolated and independent beauty. Especially the scattered villages and rural scenery all the way up to the central part, it feels like the plateau version of Tao Yuanming's paradise. If you have enough time, you can also choose to stay in the mountains for one or two nights. Watch the sunrise and sunset, the rolling clouds, the snow-capped mountains and lakes, the villages, the terraces, and the mountain views. You can also feel the life of the indigenous people of the plateau.

Lumbini is a remarkable destination that offers a deep connection to history and spirituality. As the birthplace of Lord Buddha, the peaceful surroundings, ancient ruins, and the Maya Devi Temple create a sense of tranquility that is hard to match. The gardens are beautifully maintained, perfect for reflection and meditation. Walking through the sacred grounds, you can almost feel the wisdom and serenity in the air. While the area is spiritually enriching, more modern amenities.

The mountain is mainly for sightseeing, overlooking the panoramic view of Pokhara City. When the weather is clear, you can see the Fishtail Peak (Machhapuchhre) 30 kilometers away with an altitude of 6,993 meters, but the road up and down the mountain is very narrow and it is very troublesome to miss the car. The main attractions on the mountain are: ① World Peace Pagoda: A white pagoda built by Japanese Buddhists, completed in 2000, 41 meters high, with four statues on the four sides depicting the birth of Sakyamuni, his enlightenment in Bodh Gaya, his preaching in Deer Park, and his nirvana. After World War II, Japanese Buddhists built 100 peace pagodas around the world, including two in Nepal. This is one of them, the 71st. The other is in the temple area of ​​various countries in Lumbini Park where I visited yesterday. The two pagodas look similar. It is said that the finger bone relics of Sakyamuni are enshrined in this pagoda. You need to take off your shoes when you go up the pagoda. ② Relics Monument: A relic monument below the World Peace Pagoda was built in 1951. Although the monument is in Japanese, it is all Chinese characters. The front is engraved with "Namo Myoho Renge Kyo" and "Lixin Anguo"; the back is engraved with "One day, all the seas return to the wonderful Dharma, and the last ten thousand years of the Dharma should be widely spread", etc., and the bottom is engraved with "Widely offer relics".

There is an octagonal rest pavilion built on the cliff next to it ⑥ Beverage shop: relatively cheap, the coffee is famous, the coffee beans are freshly ground, and it is more expensive to add ice, but it is only about 10 yuan in RMB. Some shops are well located on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the Fewa Lake below the mountain ⑥ Observation deck: The viewing platform with the widest view, the fee is 30 rupees (1.7 yuan), there are flower basket swings and heart-shaped photo frames on the platform, and it is more expensive to sit on the photo frame to take pictures ⑦ Grocery stalls: located on the road up the mountain, mostly religious supplies
