“If there is heaven on the earth, it starts from the north of Pokhara”. Situated at an altitude of 1350m from the sea level ‘Astam’ is truly a heaven. It always serves you with the majestic view of the valleys. Since, Hananoie is also situated on the same hillock it’s a part of that nature’s beauty. The view point situated within the premises of Hananoie is the best place for you to have a morning sip of masala tea with the homemade pan bread. The Himalayas standing tall upfront, which measure as high as 7000 to over 8000 meters welcomes you with the cool breeze towards the view point. The valleys and the rivers that originate from the Himalayas can be seen from the view point. The mesmerizing view of the valley from the view point makes you feel relaxed and you can stay there all day long just having the view of the Himalayas, valleys and the rivers. Lahachowk, Ghachowk are the two big valleys you can see from the viewpoint of Hananoie. Seti and Mardi are the two major rivers you can see from the view point. The night view of the lights glowing on the villages (Rivan, Lwang,Bindabari )of other hills are awesome.

The hillock of Astam serves you with different views from different places. So, if you walk towards the hilltop you can have a beautiful view of the Pokhara valley. The view of the Suikhet valley and the fields surrounding can easy attract you to amazingly stare at them. The hilltop locally called as “Nare ko Dil or Daada” is the best place to have the view of Pokhara valley. The cool breeze flowing up towards the place rejuvenates you and fills you with energy. The scene from the “Bhume ko Dil” is just like having a satellite view of the valleys and the Highway. It’s just astonishing!!!
