Also known as Shanti Stupa, World Peace Pagoda is a Buddhist pagoda style monument located on a hilltop overlooking the Phewa Lake. The Sanskrit word ‘shanti’ means peace and as the name goes, this pagoda is dedicated to world peace. This is the second shanti stupa in Nepal after the one in Lumbini. This stupa which is now a leading tourist attraction in Pokhara saw a topsy turvy ride from its inception back in 1947. Finally opened for public in 1999 after 7 years of renovation, World Peace Pagoda offers amazing trekking option from the southeastern shore of Phewa Lake. Apart from stunning view of the mountains and lake, one can also enjoy a splendid view of sunrise and sunset from this stupa.
