Pokhara Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

A Journey Through Himalayan Splendor

The route to Annapurna Base Camp is a breathtaking journey through the heart of the Himalayas. As i trek, i captivated by the diverse and stunning scenery that surrounds me. Lush green forests give way to charming villages, where i can immerse myself in local culture. As i ascend, the landscape transforms into a high-altitude paradise with pristine alpine meadows and cascading waterfalls. Towering peaks, including the majestic Annapurna itself, dominate the horizon. The serenity of the Base Camp, nestled amidst these giants, is truly awe-inspiring. Snow-capped peaks, clear skies, and the sense of accomplishment make this trek unforgettable. It's a harmonious blend of nature's beauty and the thrill of adventure in the heart of Nepal's Annapurna region. #wheretogo

Experience The Wonders of Nepal 🇳🇵

Beautiful Nepal is a land of friendly and not overly engaging people, where deities hang with mortals at magnificent temples, monasteries and historical monuments can be found at almost every turn! This is the home of Sagarmatha “Goddess Mother of the World”, the towering Mount Everest, and her snow-capped counterparts making up the spectacular Himalayas. From eight of the fourteen tallest mountains in the world to the flourishing Terai plains of Jhapa, you will find you’ll have your camera glued to your hands at all times. To take in the wonders of the Himalayas.. Nepal’s startling beauty is at its best in Pokhara , in my opinion . Which has been the subject of many travel writers.The spectacular backdrop of the snowy peaks of the Annapurna Range 🏔 #nature #nepal #mountainview

#2023travelwish POKHARA , NEPAL🇳🇵 🇳🇵 Pokhara It is my wish and recommendation, a medium-sized and very touristy city in Nepal. For lovers of adventure, spirituality, culture and romanticism. To get to Pokhara you can take a flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara which lasts approximately 45 minutes, many times there are delays due to the weather, by bus it takes around 10 hours and it is something very wild, not highly recommended although it is cheap, 1000 Nepali rupees or 10 us. In pokhara there are many hotels at a good price, all my reservations are handled on trip. The average cost is from 10 us to 30 us per night depending on your needs. I recommend a hotel with breakfast included so you save time and can go out and enjoy the city. The local food is very healthy and natural, you will also find international food and many restaurants, bars and tourist sites near the lake. Most people speak and understand English although their native language is Nepali. You can walk, use a taxi that costs 500 rupees or rent a motorcycle from 1000 rupees per day, I recommend using GPS. You can buy a sim card at the airport with data and minutes at a comfortable price with your passport and a printed passport-type photo, ncell it's my recomendation. There many tourism companies that offer different packages for climbers, light flights, stops, tours, and all kinds of activities, can pay in dollars or rupees. There many exchange houses do not ask for any document. Normally everything is open until 10 pm, only bars and restaurants close later. GANDRUK It is a small town, it is very cold, I recommend you go by bus or jeep because the road is somewhat extreme only for experienced drivers, you can make a hotel reservation by calling and making a bank deposit or on the spot, it is difficult online. The hotels are not very comfortable, but it is worth the trip, and being able to see the great mountains up close at 3000 meters high. It is very cold On your return flight, I recommend being in Kathmandu one day before to take your international flight. The airport is small and there are always delays. To avoid missing your flight you must be in the capital a day before and if you have a connection in another country take delays into account, almost always due to weather. You can use patao jna app in the play store to order food at home, or taxi. Pokhara is one of the many amazing places in nepal, the people are very friendly, spiritual and it is safe. My wish is to return to Pokhara Nepal

Phewa Lake in Pokhara city

#2023travelwish Phewa Lake is the lake in Pokhara city, Nepal. Tal Barahi Temple or lake temple is the Hindu temple on a small island in Phewa lake. The only way to go to this temple is boat, return trip per person is 100 Rps. Firstly we have to grab a life jacket and que for a join boat. It takes around 10 minutes direct to the temple (private boat is available if you want more lake exploring time). Come and see sunset or sunrise here is recommended. Next year, hopefully INCA trail will be my next destination.

Went to pokhara for a 6 days and 5 nights trip. The views and scenary that you can observe in Pokhara is just breathtaking. We stayed at Busy Bee Resort during our trip and the service they provided, the facilities and anemities etc was excellent. The resort also helped us book for paragliding, which i found very helpful as i didnt have much idea on where to book for such activities. They also provide booking services for activities such as bungee , trekking etc. During our stay in pokhara, we had the chance to stay in lakeside where the view was amazing and so was the nightlife, the streets were awake all night , most restaurants and cafes were open till late night, it surely helped us with our late night cravings😅. We also had the chances to go to the world peace pagoda, davis fall and many more attractions in pokhara. And the food is reallly good in pokhara😍. Definitely recommend everyone to visit 🤩🤩#staycation #staycations

Chilling along the Phewa Lake after 7 days trekking is so relaxing! #happynewyear #newyearstrip #visitnepal2020 #happynewyear

Flying over Everest, flying over EBC, flying over the road we came to ~ overlooking the snow-capped mountains that climbed, the previous look turned into a down-view, the road was at the foot, feeling a thousand. Maybe this life will not go on this hiking trail again, but it is deeply drawn in my heart, accompanying me to go further.

D10 of EBC starts at 6 o'clock in the morning, this time in the south of Everest Base Camp, and the sun shines slowly on the land. Many people have left their lives on this land in order to prove their meaning. My guide, the collaboration of climbing Everest 2 years ago, more than 20 lives stay in the Himalayas, he is a survivor, listening to the distress and pride in his eyes, seems to understand the "George Mallory" in Everest "Because the mountain is there."

EBC trekking Day10 🗺Gokyo-Gokyo Ri-Gokyo-Machhermo,12km, Altitude rise 704, drop 1034 🚶The altitude rise is all on the way to Gokyo Ri viewing platform, very lucky that a thick layer of snow was laid on the mountain overnight, southerners feel the joy of snow in advance 🌄Climbed up Gokyo Ri at the fastest speed to catch the sunrise, unfortunately, there were a bit too many clouds Didn't see Mount Cho Oyu at Gokyo for two days 🏔 Looking at the photos taken by the guests in the following days, it was sunny every day at Mount Cho Oyu, and there was a meteor shower, the fate is still a bit short Started to return down the mountain, the EBC trip is nearing the end

On the eighth day of the walk, Day8 of EBCDingboche (4410m)-Lobuche (4910m) 12km/8 hours. vast land, 12 kilometers, will carry the jacket to the end. Suddenly feel the meaning of walking, for me, the scenery is no longer the scenery of other people, those things that I once wanted to do but dare to do, now is the current experience, let me There is more confidence to do more things I want to do, and this is what it means to me.

4days Trek to POON HILL

This is a relatively short trek of a 45 kilometre circuit in a clockwise direction climaxing at an altitude of 3250m at Poon Hill. The trek offers spectacular views of deep valleys and magnificent mountains and the perfect taster of what it's like to trek in Nepal. #trek #trekking #poonhil #nepal #pokhara

Poon Hill…once in our life…

#2023travelwish Poon Hill is a good start for trekking trip in my life. 4 days trekking in Nepal, start from Pokhara and reach highest point - Poon Hill in Ghorepani (3,210 meters above sea level). Luckily no impact of Altitude Sickness, nice weather and see all the hills… All the routes, steps, hotels, foods everything are organized and managed almost in the same standard. Soak our lung with full of Oxegen from the forest is really good to relax and exercise. Hope in the next year I will have a chance to go trekking on INCA trail to explore a mystery city …Macchu Picchu : )

An authentic taste of Nepali life.

Nestled in the serene ambiance of Himalayan Tea House viewpoint, I relished my lunch amidst breathtaking vistas of the Annapurna range and the sprawling Pokhara city below. The small garden surrounding the teahouse exuded tranquility, making it a hidden gem for witnessing the majestic Annapurna Himalayas from Sarangkot. Amidst this picturesque setting, what truly elevated my experience was the impeccable service rendered by Bimal, a young man who, alongside his mother, managed the establishment. Bimal's hospitality and warmth added an unforgettable touch to my stay, leaving me with cherished memories of this enchanting haven in the lap of nature. #quiet #viewpoint #nature #mountain #camping #restaurant

Pokhara let’s visit 🫰🏽

Pokhara this photo form hill side , we are very happy because I saw here nature is so gorgeous and air is so clean , and night viewing was asome..

Sarangkot - Hidden gem in Nepal

Most people when visiting Nepal, they would visit Pokhara, but there is a stunning place that most people will miss out, that is Sarangkot. All you need to do is take taxi to Cable car station (around 10 mins from city center). Then take the stunning cable car ride up! The view is absolutely amazing. Do head to Sarangkot view point for amazing Sunrise and sunset view. If possible, stay there for a night and enjoy the fascinating view all day. You definitely will not regret.#sarangkot #nepal #Pokhara #尼泊爾 #wecreate
