At Peace Temple, explore the 35 m (115 ft) tall Buddhist pagoda-style monument which symbolizes peace and compassion. Situated on a hilltop at the height of about 1,100 m (3,610 ft), the white temple offers a panoramic view of the lake, valley, and city, as well as the Himalayan range. The monument has two tiers, one for tourists and one for devotees to circumambulate the Buddha statue. Visit the site, which means "peace pagoda," either by crossing the lake by boat, or by going on an adventurous uphill trek. Take extra care of your personal belongings; some instances of theft have been reported.

  • It's easy, and well worth it, to take a taxi up from Pokhara to this lovely stupa. We could see it from our hotel room but that had not prepared us for how impressive it is close up. Even more...

  • This is one of the most visit destination in Pokhara. There is a beautiful stupa with big gardens and a monastery. The view from there is amazing. You can see Fewa lake and Pokhara city. The place...

  • The peace which you get after climbing to almost 500 steep stairs is matchless. Surrounded by the ecstatic Annapurna ranges and the beautiful inexplicable view is matchless. If you are driving your own vehicle be prepared for a very very steep route. The roads are in good condition but if you get stuck on a high inclination use your handbrakes efficiently. Overall its a nice place to visit
  • We took a small boat to cross the lake which got us to the bottom of the hill on top of which the pagoda seats. There is a long staircase going up through the forest, a very nice path to take although it can be slippery when wet. From the top you're supposed to have a great view of the mountains around, unfortunately it was cloudy when we went so we didn't see much but the view of Pokhara and the lake was nice. We went to a restaurant next to the pagoda for lunch and that was lovely. Must be even better with a clear view!
