Pokhara is an ancient and significant urban establishment of Nepal which is trying hard to hold on to its old world remnants and the Old Town is the embodiment of it. Located north of the buzzing Mahendra Pul, the Old Town is a treat for the ones who love to get the pulse of a new place from its epicentre. Best explored on foot, Old Town Pokhara offers an unmatched view of the new parts of the city in the morning before the traffic and daily chores take over the landscape. While you take a trip to Old Town, you will come across a marketplace selling locally produced items; Bhimsen Temple, an old shrine dedicated to the Newari god of trade and commerce and Bindhya Basini Temple, dedicated to goddess Durga. Spend time exploring the alleys of Old Town while it offers amazing photo ops!
