Davis fall: The area in the south of Pokhara valley, locally referred to as Patale Chhango, is where a stream originating from Fewa Lake cascades down the rocks into a narrow canyon, creating several whirlpools. This scenic spot is incredibly popular among both visitors and locals.

Gupteshwor Cave: Located just 2 km away from the Pokhara airport, the Gupteshwor Cave is a revered site. The entrance to the cave is situated opposite Devi's fall, and it spans almost 3 km in length, featuring several large chamber-like areas and narrow passageways that require crawling on all fours. For Hindus, this cave holds immense significance as it houses a phallic emblem of Lord Shiva in its original condition, which was discovered here.

Phewa Lake and Barahi Temple: Located at an elevation of 800m above sea level, this lake is the second largest in the kingdom. The Barahi Island Temple, situated in the center of the lake, is the most significant religious structure in Pokhara. This two-storied pagoda, constructed almost at the lake's center, is devoted to the female power, Shakti. The lake's tranquil waters offer a reflection of the stunning Mt. Machhapuchhare and Annapurna peaks. A dense forest covers the neighboring southern slopes of the lake.

Seti River Gorges: Seti-Gandaki has carved one of the most remarkable natural wonders of Pokhara. The K.I. Singh bridge at Bagar, Mahendrapool, and the Prithivi highway bridge near the bus park offer a breathtaking view of the river's dreadful rush and the deep gorge created by the forceful flow of white water.
