Deadly Astronaut Training Base | Pokhara's Disney Ferris Wheel 🎡

Pokhara hides a "wild Disneyland" 🎢—locals call it an amusement park, but we’ve nicknamed it the "Deadly Astronaut Training Base"—no exaggeration, you’ll get it after one ride! The star of the show is definitely that ferris wheel 🎡. From a distance, it looks like a rusty steel frame, but up close, you’ll notice: there are no doors on either side of the seats! Just a thin railing to hold onto, making you feel like you’re hanging mid-air. Once it starts, it spins insanely fast—wind howls past your ears, with Pokhara’s rooftops and distant snow-capped peaks below, and you’re whipped around like a top, screams echoing through three streets 😱. The best part? The park’s right in the city center. Strolling by Phewa Lake, you’ll hear screams —and they’re definitely coming from here—either from the ferris wheel or the giant swing next to it 🌪️. The rides here are all "wild-style": a pirate ship that looks like it was put together last minute, its chains creaking as it swings; faded spinning chairs with gaps wide enough to fit a person between seats; and some unnameable contraption that feels like being tied in a washing machine on spin cycle 🧺. Don’t be fooled by "looking dangerous"—they’re even less safe in reality! But the price is unbeatable: 7-10 RMB per ride, enough to keep you entertained from dawn till dusk. If you’re brave, yell "faster! faster!" at the staff—they’ll actually crank the speed up manually. After screaming with your eyes closed the whole time, your legs will feel like jelly, but that adrenaline rush? Chef’s kiss 💥 When in Pokhara, don’t just stare at snow-capped mountains in a daze. Spend a few bucks to be a "wild astronaut"—Even Disney would tip their hat 🚬. #PokharaDisney #FerrisWheelHorror #NepalWildRides #BraveEnough #ScreamFests
