You can get there by intersection the lake by watercraft and afterward climbing up the slope. you canalso drive close to the top of the hill.
Bindbyabasini Temple
Bindhyabasini sanctuary is the focal point of religious action in the old bazaar. It is committed to goddess Bhagwati, an alternate appearance of shakti or power.
Devi’s Fall
Mainly known as Patale Chhango (Hell’s Fall), Devi’s fall (otherwise called Devies’ or David’s) is a wonderful waterfall lying about 2 km south-west of Pokhara air terminal, on the expressway to Tansen. An intriguing current legend says that a nonnative named Davie was skinnydipping in the PardiKhola (waterway) when the conduits of the dam were opened, clearing him into an underground section underneath the fall, never to be seen again.
Barahi sanctuary & Phewa Lake.

The charming lake is a pure play area. Brilliantly painted wooden vessels and sailboats could be leased on sensible cost around lakeside.
The eastern shoreline of the lake, prominently known as Lakeside or Baidam, comprises of apparently interminable segment of hotels, restaurants, bookshops and trinket shops.

As we leave Ulleri, a town of glistening views, culture and hospitality, we walk along the trail made out of stone all the way to Ghorepani.
We walk with Annapurna on our right and wild flowering forest and wet soiled hills at our left. As you go along, it sometimes feels like the way has a never-ending series of stoned steps and you may want to admire those who might have built it.
As we arrive to Ghorepani (2874 meters/9429 feet), an ancient-looking village wrapped-up in the abundance of services and facilities you wouldn’t have imagined to get in a village like this. It’s the best the time to tell your friends, families and loved ones about your trip and how much you want to forget everything and just settle here.
