Tourists in Pokhara can now learn about the top areas via QR codes. Those who visit the beautiful tourism city can read and hear by scanning QR codes.
The tourism-friendly technology has been initiated after a collaboration between the Tourism Council, with the support of the Nepal Tourism Board and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) Sustainable Tourism Project, with technical support of Sarang Digital.
Pokhara top tourist destinations information is available through QR codes
QR codes will provide information in Pokhara about these particular places:
- Ratna Temple
- Rupa Lake
- Sarangkot
- Kahun Danda
- Harihar Cave
- Bhadrakali
- Sheetala Devi
- Ram Temple
- Ramghat
- Kabi Shiromani Lekhnath Museum
- Sita Cave
- Laxminarayan Narayansthan
- Shree Ganesh Bhadrakali Temple
- Kahun Dharahara
- Akaladevi Temple
- Sheetala Devi Temple, etc.
Pokhara Tourism Council Chairman Taranath Pahari said that the initiative will help tourists in Pokhara find out and learn more about the major tourist destinations within the city. He also shared that the information about tourist destinations is available to read in 11 languages , including Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Spanish.
Tourists can also opt to listen to information about tourist destinations in English, Hindi, Chinese, French, and Nepali.
We already know of a similar practice where a QR code scan shows information on heritages in Kathmandu. The technology-inspired trend has now been extended to Pokhara.

How does it work?
Each tourist destination has a board with two QR codes. Tourists can scan them with their camera or a third-party app. One QR code provides information about the particular destination where it’s kept, while the other QR gives information on the must-visit areas in the city.
