Seti Rivers
Stretching from east to west, the breathtaking views of
the world famous Himalayan range of the Annapurna,
Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre and others appear so close as
to make you feel that you can almost touch them.
Sarangkot, Kaskikot, Kalikasthan, Bharat Pokhari and the
Bhumdi Hill command beautiful views of the valley and
the mountains. These places are also vantage points to
view sunrises and sunsets over the majestic Himalayan
peaks. The Photo here shows a River below Kau Danda
which is popular for fishing purposes. It is a glacial
river that flows from the Annapurna Himalayan region.
Kahun Danda is a hill at 1,433m high, and is two hours
walk from Mahendra pool. Like other places this place
also offers pleasing view of Annapurna range and flat
terraces of Pokhara. On the top of the hill is a tower
constructed for a clear view of the valley and the
Himalayas. There is a fortress and a temple on the top.
A unique river passing through two beautiful and
contrasting scenic areas. This river is relatively small
in volume, blue and warm, it is recommended as a warm-up
river for intermediate rafters, Kayakers and kayak
clinic. The Seti Khola rises on the south-east slopes of
Machhapuchhere and then flows south.
Devi's Falls (Patale Chhango)
Pokhara is the only city in Nepal which is famous for
water falls. As we drive by the river sides below the
hills we can see several beautiful and dashing water
falls flowing downhill and finally flowing to the
rivers. The highway to Baglung consist of several water
falls. The city itself has a beautiful waterfall within
itself and it is known as Davis Fall (In Nepali: Patale
chango):
This is a breath taking view of Davis Fall in
Chorrepatan. Chorrepatan is famous for this water fall
and there is also a cave just two minutes walk from this
fall. The water flowing in this fall comes from Fewa
lake and the fall is worth visiting during the rainy
seasons as it possesses its maximum velocity.
Pokhara is famous for mountains. But this is not only
the thing that has made Pokhara popular. Davis fall is
also one of the main tourist attraction center here in
Pokhara. Davis fall is open every day of the week for
the visitors. The ticket cost is very cheap and it is
worth visiting.
This snap also features Davis Fall during the Winter
season. During winter there is a mass decrease in the
water volume of the Fewa Lake hence the Dam is closed to
maintain the water volume within the Fewa Lake. This
causes the Davis Fall in maximum decrement in its water
volume. The corresponding snap features the rock
formation made by the high velocity of the water flowing
within it.
This snap features the Davis fall during the rainy
season. The excess water in Fewa lake needs to be
drained hence the dam is open during summer and this
makes Davis fall much more vigrous. Davis fall is worth
visiting during the rainy and summer seasons. This high
velocity of water has created different type of rock
formation as shown in the above snap.
