Fort Island
郭郭润龙浪迹天涯20240612 afternoon: 1. The center of the lake (Shakti Temple) is located on the shore of Fewa Lake.

The Shakti Goddess Temple on the island is a Hindu temple, but a single building. The area in the building is small and crowded. There are low statues on three sides. The Hindus would bring a plate of tributes (money, coconuts, etc.) into the house to put before the statue, the ceremony was very novel, the statue was full of tributes.

Tal Barahi Temple, Pokhara
TTheSandeepKarkiif you are visiting Pokhara this is the first thing i would recommend to visit. Most lovely and peaceful area to visit and worship.
Peace Temple
太太阳哞哞哒We drove to the World Peace Pagoda. The Chinese characters "Nihonsan Myohoji" were at the entrance. I was confused for a moment, so I searched and found out that the Nepal World Peace Pagoda was built in 2000 at the turn of the century by people from four countries, Japan, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Nepal. The main fundraiser was the Buddhist community in Japan. On the four walls of the World Peace Pagoda, there are statues of the Buddha Sakyamuni in four stages. The first statue reflects the birth of the Buddha under the Bodhi tree in Lumbini, Nepal. The second statue reflects the scene of Sakyamuni Buddha's enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya.
The third statue is Sakyamuni Buddha's first Dharma wheel in Sarnath.
The last statue is Sakyamuni Buddha's death in Kushinagar. "So there are many Japanese Buddhist elements in the temple, and the style follows the big sponsor🌝
The view of the Himalayas from the height where the Peace Pagoda is located is very good. I met many Indian tourists and was pulled to take some photos. I also hugged and greeted several women in ethnic costumes politely.😊
Devi's falls Pokhara
郭郭润龙浪迹天涯20240612pm:
1. Devis Falls is a small waterfall in Nepal, located in the urban area of Pokhara. It is also known as Davis Falls and Devil Falls. It is formed by melting ice and snow. In 1961, a Swiss couple went hiking and the girl fell into the waterfall. The boy also jumped into the waterfall to save his girlfriend. Unfortunately, they were both swallowed by the water and fell into the underground cave under the waterfall. The waterfall got its name. The waterfall is small and exquisite. It only forms a waterfall in the rainy season. It is hidden in the bustling city, like a secret garden, with towering ancient trees and lush greenery. It is a good place for viewing photography, humanities learning, and shopping.
①Address: 4 km from the outskirts of Pokhara, Nepal
②Transportation: Direct bus access, difficult to park by car
③Peak season: None
④Duration: 1 hour
⑤Ticket price: 20 rupees (1.1 yuan)
2. The scenic area is a small square park with the following:
①David Falls: The waterfall is relatively thin and the drop is not high. It is surrounded by lush forests and is delicate and beautiful. The waterfall flows into a deep and dark underwater cave, adding a sense of mystery to the waterfall. However, it is still a bit scary to think that there are still two bodies in the underground cave. The waterfall viewing area is divided into two directions: the side and the front. It is blocked by blue iron railings. The mobile phone must be extended from the gap between the railings to take pictures. The underground cave can be photographed from the side.
② Resting pavilion corridor: The fan shape is combined with the direction. There are three colors: red, black and white. The shape is quite unique.
③ Folk costume display area: 2 rows of semi-open-air pavilions, 6 pavilions with blue roofs and white bodies, and a pair of costume colored sculptures are respectively placed inside, divided into men's and women's clothing, without heads. Visitors can fill in the heads to take pictures.
④ Birdcage-style shrine: blue roof and white columns, with a golden Buddha statue enshrined inside.
⑤ Open-air stone shrine: It looks like two small stone men, decorated and painted with special pigments by locals.
⑥ Forest rest area: blue seats in the woods, but there are many mosquitoes.
⑦ Rockery: It is a whole piece of continuous rock, which is in pictographic style, with gray and white tones alternating, probably imitating the Himalayas.
⑧Entrance and exit: ordinary iron fence gate
3. The periphery of the scenic area is the street and alley shopping area, including:
①Ancient banyan: the trunk is thick and lush, like a giant umbrella to shade tourists, and there is a simple Buddhist shrine at the root of the tree. This is a feature of Nepal. Religious community, under the ancient trees, and on the streets, there are Buddhist shrines of different sizes.
②Shops: exotic style, mostly related to Buddhism and Hinduism, colorful, good visual effects, but the goods between shops are somewhat homogenized
③Blanket shop: the blankets are colorful, but you may not be allowed to take pictures
④Tourist souvenir shop: refrigerator magnets, postcards, Nepalese coins, etc., these are more suitable for Chinese tourists to buy
⑤Beef shop: or milk shop, the colorful sculptures of gods and cows are quite interesting
4. It takes 1 hour to complete the tour, and the whole day's itinerary is over.
