• Travel to the scenic city of Pokhara after breakfast. The drive is about 7 hours from Kathmandu and goes from the scenic countryside of middle Nepal. Pokhara is a holiday city looking at the lakes, hills and mountains. It is no wonder why it is so well known.

Ghandruk is also home to many Gurkha soldiers. It is a famous destination for trekkers because it is known for its beautiful mountain views and because it's within easy reach of Pokhara and Kathmandu.
