More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You reach the base of Anadu Hill as the city of Pokhara spreads below and the air sharpens with altitude; the trail and narrow access road climb toward the white dome of the World Peace Stupa at about 1,100 meters. From the terrace the Annapurna range and Dhaulagiri unfold across the horizon while Phewa Lake glints like a mirror cupped by the valley — the hill seems to hold the view in place so you can study it.
