DEVIS FALLS

Devis falls remains one of the most visited Tourist Attractions in Pokhara. One of the most popular tourist destinations in Nepal, Pokhara is tucked away in the northwestern corner of the Pokhara Valley which is an extension of the Seti Gandaki valley.Devis falls also known as the Patale Chhango, can be traced around 2 km south of the spot where the Lake Phewa drains into the Pardi Khola. Here, the terrain drops sharply and the river plunges over the Devi Falls before disappearing into a sink hole. Devi's Falls is a must visit site for you as part of your Sightseeing in Pokhara while you are on your Pokhara Tours. Pokhara is the city in Nepal which is famous for its water falls.
Devis falls re-emerges after approximately 200 meters from the sink hole. After that, it flows into the Phusre Khola. The marvelous waterfall cascades down at the south side of the Fewa (or Phewa) Lake in Pokhara. The origin of the name of the falls can be traced back to an unfortunate incident which took place some times around 1960's. A foreign couple was swimming near the dam-site of the lake. A lady named Devi was swept away by the current of the lake when the dam locks were opened. And since then, the falls have been named after the lady.

Pokhara is famous among tourists and travelers for its mountains. But, Pokhara has lot more to offer than just that. Devis falls s also one of the major tourist attraction spot in Pokhara. You can visit this site any time as it is open on every day of the week. The cost of the ticket is affordable and it is worth visiting. The falls increase in volume considerably after the monsoon but in January, it becomes nothing more than a stream. This is because there is a mass decrease in the water volume of the Fewa Lake during winter. To maintain the water volume within the Fewa Lake, the dam is closed. This causes the Devi's Falls in Pokhara in maximum decrease in its water volume.

You will find here interesting rock formations made by the high velocity of the water flowing within it. For some of the greatest breathtaking views of Devi's Falls, you should head for Chorrepatan. There is also a cave in Chorrepatan just two minutes’ walk away from this fall.

Fishtail mountain is a beautiful & attractive mountain.This mountain is in kaski district of Nepal.This mountain is called fishtail mountain because the shape of this mountain is like fish tail.We have also a chance to see the shape of tiger here in this mountain.This mountain is 6993 m tall.This mountain is 34th highest mountain of Nepal.This mountain have lured many internal & external tourists heart every year.This mountain has also help our country to earn more foreign currency.Tourists take photo of this mountain.They cannot climb this mountain because it is not allowed to climb this mountain. This mountain is looks very beautiful especially in the time of sunrises.This mountains reflection into the bosom was more beautiful than itself.
Considered to be sacred by the local inhabitants, the Fish tail mountain is a treasured spiritual site of the Nepalese.

• Machhapuchhre or Fishtail is the second highest mountain of the Annapurna Range.
• It has supposedly never been climbed.
• It is considered holy by the people of Nepal as it has been untouched and therefore is pure.
• It lies across Modi Khola in Pokhara.
• Reflecting sunlight at early dawn, the holy mountain of Machhapucchre is an unforgettable sight.
• The Fishtail mountain lies only 28 killometres to Phewa Lake.
• It is one of the most photogenic mountains in the world .

The fascination with Fishtail lies purely in the fact that it has never (officially) been climbed. Although it is visually a splendid sight, there are many others in the Annapurna Range of similar status to appease the climbing fraternity. Trekkers, who form the vast majority of tourists in the area, are unlikely to want to venture any further up the mountain than the already accessible - and somewhat inaptly named - Machhapuchre Base Camp. The relatively few extra climbers who would be attracted to the region would not justify a decision to open the mountain, either financially or environmentally. Keep Fishtail sacred and let us all enjoy its unspoiled beauty from the correct perspective.
Mount Machhapuchhre is incomparable, thanks to its fish-tailed pinnacle. This features makes it one of the most renowned mountains in Nepal Himalayan range. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the snow-blanketed, needle-pointed mountain is a visual feast, to be least said. Mafestically protruding out in the skyline, the view of the mountain provides wings to the thoughts of the poets. Climbing on the mountain has been restricted, for it is considered sacred by the locals. Machhapuchhre mountain is known not only in Nepal but all over the world for its magnificence. Machhapuchhre' means fishtail and comes from two Nepali words Machha (Fish) + Puchhre (Tail).
For viewing Machhapuchhre from a close up, take a mountain flight from Pokhara that takes you on an aerial sightseeing tour of the Western Himalayas. Although the highest among the Western Himalayas is Annapurna I (8,091 m), it is Machhapuchhre which dominates all others in this neighborhood.
