Pokhara Stupa
“The stupa is at 21 hundred feet above sea level and is about 7 kilometers from the Prthvi highway. The monument is 344 metres in circumference and about 31 metres high and is a religious site. The stupa is spread over 21 ropanis of land. Located on the peak, it stands out as a beacon of peace and can be seen from every corner of the Pokhara valley. Shanti Stupa is the only stupa in Pokhara situated at such a great height.
Nispranjan Myohoji originally conceived the majestic design of the stupa and Monk Litikowo financed the construction. Construction of the stupa began in 1973 but, a year later, owing to some difficulties in some time. After the restoration of democracy in Nepal construction work started again and , eventually, after ten years, the stupa was completed on 5th November,1999.”

Nice stupa, i been there twice before!! Good experience for me to take an hours walk up to the peak. You can view the himalaya mountain surrounding the stupa. The people there are so nice and friendly, i brought them some old clothes and stationary for the kids. Good memory for me.
