Pokhara, my maternal city—ever since I visited this place, the hill to the northeast, visible from my uncle’s house, has always fascinated me. It is called Kahun Danda. The white tower seen from the rooftop always made me wonder how they managed to build it up there.
After reaching Kahun Danda, I learned that the tower is called Kahun Darahara (View Tower) and was built in 2026 B.S. (1969/70 A.D.).
I had always wanted to visit this place since childhood but never got the chance.
It’s been quite a while since I have done any nature photography. This weekend called up a few friends to join me for an early morning photography trip to a hill in the west of Kathmandu known as Dahachok.
This hill area is famous for Kalu Pande samadhi. Kalu Pande is a great warrior of the Gorkha arm who fought for the Gorkha royals who were fighting with the neighboring state for expansion which led to the current borders of the Nepal kingdom.
Pokhara is the number one tourist destination in Nepal. It has many amazing mesmerizing places to enjoy. Surroundings of Pokhara is also equally beautiful. It has many villages around which gives you close view to Mountains.
Pokhara is also a gateway for Annapurna round circuit trekking and Annapurna base camp trekking. They have added a new destination now, Mardi Himal base camp trekking.
I support Local Empowerment. So, I’m sharing this Everest Base Camp Trek to promote a new way of trekking where trekkers can empower the local service providers like lodges, guides and porters by booking services directly through them. #empoweringthehimalayas #freetriptoeverest
