Indeed, there is little space for tourists during the festival of Dashain.

Devi’s Falls, locally known as Patale Chhango (or Hell’s Fall), Devi’s fall is an amazing waterfall lying about 2 km southwest of Pokhara airport on the highway to Tansen. It was named after Devi, a Swiss lady swept away when the floodgates were accidentally opened, never to be seen again.

Pokhara Old Bazaar, a traditional bazaar, is as bright and colourful as its ethnically diverse traders. Located around 4 km from the Lakeside, it offers pleasant shade and is strewn with shops selling everything from edibles and cloth to cosmetics and gold!
