There are several small shrines and temples around Pokhara. However, the region lacks the impressive temple structures that surround the Kathmandu Valley. There’s a historic and geo-political reason for that. The Malla’s Kingdom and the Newari people were mainly located in the Kathmandu Valley. Only trading routes passed through Pokhara, and even at that, it was minimal.

The Kedareshwar Mahadev Mani temple is one of the few larger temples in the area. Kedareshwar Mahadev Mani temple is a new temple based on Newari pagoda design. It’s very similar to what you would see in Kathmandu, Patan, or Bhaktapur. If you’ve not been to these cities, then it’s worth coming here to see one temple of this particular style.
