Pokhara - Mahendra Phul

This district, where everyday life of the Pokharans takes place, is named after the nearby Mahendra Bridge. Mahendra Phul throbs with activity - in contrast to the tranquility of Lakeside. The old town lies between the mountain ridges of Sarangkot and Kandu Danda where the Seti has cut a gorge 50-60 m (164-170 ft) deep in the rock. This gorge, which stretches through the whole district as far as the southern outskirts where it is 100 m (328 ft) deep, offers breathtaking views. In the old bazaar, which begins at the Ganesh Tol, all the daily necessities of life are on sale.
