The most spectacular sight in Pokhara is the sight of Annapurna range. This range stretching from west to east includes Dhaulagiri, South Annapurna, Annapurna I, Hiunchuli, Fish-tail (Machapuchare), Annapurna III, Annapurna IV, and Annapurna II. In Pokhara, the holy unclimbed mountain Macchapucchre (or also known as Fishtail Mountain), located in the middle of the Annapurna range, can be seen standing right in front of our nose. Everyone in Pokhara wakes up early to greet the mountains during sunrise. The reflection of sunlight from a mountain is always a breathtaking site. You will never forget the sight of the fishtail mountain standing right before your eyes saying "Good Morning!"
