When you finish the Annapurna trek Pokhara is the closest town. Its fairly big and set in a beautiful green valley and next to a lake. The tourist section is well developed and has great restaurants and shopping. After I felt I was sufficiently rested and recovered from the trek I opted for a white water rafting trip and paragliding. The rafting was ok, as always in Nepal the country side was stunning. The actually rafting was fairly tame relative to the Nile so I can't say it really got my heart pumping. The next did I tried my hand at paragliding. The views of the valley were great from up high but it didn't really hit my adrenaline button like I had hoped it would... still though, it was a peaceful 25 minute trip to the ground.
