Sisneri – The Natural Swimming Pool ( A Traveler’s Guide )

Sisneri – the Natural Swimming Pool

( Sisneri – the Natural Swimming Pool ) So the summer is about to be over soon. It’s actually been raining havoc these past few days. But even so, there are plenty of hot days to come. And while many of us would love nothing more than to splash around in a pool, we tend to get bored with the commercial swimming pools in the city. There are only so many we can visit. But of course, there’s Sisneri. You must have heard of it. It is very popular as the Sisneri – natural swimming pool.

And Sisneri does actually live up to its name. I mean, who wouldn’t take the opportunity to swim with nature if they got a chance? I, myself, had the opportunity to visit there with a group of friends, and I went – even though I couldn’t swim at all.

Description:

Sisneri – the natural swimming pool

Sisneri is located at Makwanpur district at around 35 km south of Kathmandu valley. It is a Village Development Committee, so, not really developed in terms of roads. The place is also thinly populated, and after you visit the place, you will actually find more people from the city itself rather than the locals. The VDC has small tea shops and diners that cater to the visitors.

As for the swimming pool, it is actually located a bit farther from the populated area. It is also not very, big and you can even miss it quite easily. But since its very popular, you can ask almost anyone around and they’ll tell you where it is. The pool, however small, actually looks stunning in its aqua-green color. It is surrounded by large rocks, giving it the impression that it’s actually quite big as it appears in photos. But no, it’s not as big as you’ve probably thought it is. But the glistening green water amidst the large rocks and greenery is breathtakingly lovely!

There are multiple pools, though. However, the one you’ve probably seen in photos is the main one. There are some smaller ones nearby as well.
