Later in the day you will enjoy a sightseeing tour covering International Mountain Museum & The Old Bazaar, known for its Temple and interesting shops selling curios.
International Mountain Museum is located 1.5 kilometres south of the Pokhara airport. Rightly so the museums location offers a view of the three 8000+ meter peaks of the area. The museum’s focus is on those who travel to this country for mountaineering. On display are also different mountain cultures and their ways of life, world mountain systems, ecology, as well as an exhibition of the world mountaineering history International Mountain Museum & Gurkha Museum. Pokhara’s traditional Old Bazaar is colourful and so are its ethnically diverse traders. In its
temples and monuments can be seen ties to the old Newar architecture of the Kathmandu valley. This area is strewn with shops selling commodities ranging from edibles to and cloth to cosmetics and gold is a pleasant and shady spot to stroll around. The old Bazaar is also home to one of Pokhara’s most important shrines. Locally called the Bindyabasini Mandir, this white dome- like structure dominates a spacious stone – paved courtyard built atop a shady hillock. It is dedicated to Goddess Bhagwati, yet another manifestation of Shakti. The park – like grounds offers a fine picnic area, and on Saturdays, and Tuesdays when devotees flock there to offer sacrifices, it takes on a festive flavour.
Dine at Moondance, a popular restaurant with a beautiful outdoor seating area and a delicious selection of international and local cuisine.
