Know before you go
  • Pokhara Valley Trek offers a spectacular image of a perfect triangular mountain capped by snow and buffeted by the icy winds of the Himalayas. Imagine a millpond calm lake and perfectly reflecting the snowy peaks. Pokhara Valley Trek is a spectacularly short trek in the enchanting city of adventure. Pokhara is the wonderland valley, known as the "The Switzerland of Nepal". Pokhara is the most popular destination to make your dream come true with its remarkable natural beauty. Pokhara valley trek offers wonderful views of the fishtailed summit of Machhapuchhare, which rises from behind the Phewa Lake. Pokhara valley offers a view of the three mountain ranges, out of the ten highest mountains in the world: Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, and Manaslu Himal, which are situated within 30 miles (linear distance) of the city so that the northern skyline of the city offers a very close view of the Himalayas.

  • Pokhara valley is the starting point for many of Nepal’s most popular trekking routes and rafting destinations. Pokhara valley trek is indeed a wonderful combination of beautiful lakes and spectacular peaks. The beautiful lakes of Phewa, Begnas, and Rupa are perfect resorts for fishing and boating. Pokhara is an enthralling city nestled in a peaceful valley. The Seti Gandaki (White River) and its tributaries have created several gorges and canyons in and around the whole city, which gives intriguingly long sections of terrace features to the city and surrounding areas. The climate of the city is sub-tropical; however, the elevation keeps the temperatures moderate. The city of Pokhara offers a combination of nature and culture. The nearby hill villages around Pokhara are a mixed community of Khas and Gurung that takes you to people's cultural and traditional livings.
