Another attraction is the Seti Gandaki River, which runs through the town. The limestone in the soil gives the river its milky hue. In some places, the Seti Gandaki runs completely underground. Several Tibetan settlements near Pokhara sell handicrafts and Tibetan carpets. In addition, we will visit Davi’s Waterfall, Gupteswor Mahadev, and the International Mountain Museum.
