Sort of a Mecca for mountain lovers and mountaineers all around the world, the International Mountain Museum is a landmark destination in Pokhara. Otherwise a sleepy but vibrant town, Pokhara rings a bell when someone mentions International Mountain Museum. The foundation stone of this museum was laid in 1995 under the initiation of Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) who realised the importance of preserving all the major and minor records and evidences regarding Himalayan expeditions. After 9 years of ceaseless efforts and data collection, the museum was opened to public in 2004 and since then it has become an indelible aspect in every Pokhara vacation plan. Dedicated to the Himalayan range and the mountaineers who conquered some of the world’s toughest peaks, International Mountain Museum is a must visit in Pokhara.
