About this Tours

The Route

A Pokhara day uses Sarangkot or the World Peace Pagoda for the ridge, then Phewa Lake, and usually Devi's Fall and Gupteshwor cave. The drives are short.

What You’ll See

If the morning is clear, Machapuchare and the Annapurna wall stand over the lake. The afternoon is boats and the south-shore waterfalls.

Day by Day

Easy walking. Sunrise at Sarangkot means leaving in the dark. The rest of the day can stay slow.

People & Places

Lakeside is a tourist town. The pagoda path and the cave are quieter. No trekking permit for this day.

Why This Trip

Use it as the Pokhara day before a trek starts, or as the day in Pokhara when you are not trekking at all.
