Parvati Restaurant in Pokhara

The Parvati restaurant in Pokhara has a decent dal-bhat deal besides kalo-chia, rara and of course, momo. Away from the busy lake side roads, this quiet little place is a good place to sit and relax.

One of Pokhara's many attractions is the beautiful Phewa lake. If the sky is clear, reflection of the Annapurna range on the lake offers a spectacular view from the south shore. Many postcards and souvenirs have this picture too. Alternatively, one can watch sunset from the west shore.

You can hire a boat to get yourself to the small island in the middle of the lake. There is a nice little shrine there. Or you can actually go all the way across the lake. There is a large Buddhist temple on top of a hill on the other side. The place where they tell you to dock your boat, there is a little restaurant. The lunch served over there is very good.
