Pokhara World Peace Pagoda
The title refers to the two weeks I spent going around the Annapurna range, which is visible in its entirety in this photograph.
The views from the Pokhara World Peace Pagoda are amazing, you can see Lake Phewa right below and the mountains behind, including several Annapurna summits and the iconic Machhapuchhare (Fish tail).
Photo Tips: The Pagoda itself can be closed for sunrise and sunset and also tripods are not allowed there. However there are several nice viewpoints nearby, like this one at a nearby restaurant (or around it, if closed).
Bring either an ultra wide lens, or expect to stitch a panorama, as I did in this case.
Sunrise generally offers a better chance to photograph the mountains, as they are often in clouds since the afternoon. However, if visible, both mornings and evenings are great here.
Getting there: You can either walk up the hill (about 250 vertical meters), or take a taxi from Pokhara. From Lakeside it costs about 1000 rupees and takes roughly 20 minutes.
