Pokhara
Sub-Metropolitan City (Nepali: पोखरा उपमहानगरपालिका Pokharā Upa-Mahānagarpālikā) is the second[1] largest city of Nepal with approximately 250,000 inhabitants and is situated about 200 km west of the capital Kathmandu.[2] It serves as the headquarters of Kaski District, Gandaki Zone and the Western Development Region.[3] Pokhara is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Nepal.[4] Three out of the ten highest mountains in the world: Dhaulagiri, Annapurna I and Manaslu or Lamjung himal are situated within 30 miles (linear distance) of the city so that the northern skyline of the city offers a very close view of the Himalayas.[5] Due to its proximity to the Annapurna mountain range the city is also a base for trekkers undertaking the Annapurna Circuit through the ACAP region[6] of the Annapurna ranges in the Himalayas.
