Pokhara Tour Outline Itinerary
Day 1: Kathmandu to Pokhara (Flight), Afternoon Tour
Pokhara
Flight time: 1 hour
Accommodation: Hotel
Meals: Breakfast
Overnight: Thimpu
Your journey begins with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara, offering breathtaking aerial views of the Himalayas before you touch down in Nepal’s beautiful lake city. After checking in and freshening up, spend your afternoon exploring Pokhara’s highlights — stroll along the tranquil shores of Phewa Lake, visit the sacred Tal Barahi Temple situated on an island, or admire the cascading Davis Falls and the mystical Gupteshwor Cave. This relaxed introduction sets the perfect tone for the adventures ahead, combining natural beauty with cultural charm.
Nearby the falls are a series of caves including Mahendra Cave with its stalagmites and stalactites and statue of Lord Shiva; the Bat Cave, a smaller cave, providing home for a colony of bats, and Gupteswor Mahadev Cave which, after a low long tunnel, opens out into a huge open cavern and deep gorge from where, with a bit of scrambling, visitors can view Davi’s Falls.
Located above the lake is the white Shanti Stupa or Peace Pagoda, shimmering in the sun. This is the perfect place to take in views of the lake and surrounding mountains, particularly at sunset.
There are two ways to get there – either boat across the lake and walk up through the forest, or drive around the lake and up the hill to the stupa.
Day 2: Pokhara Full-Day Tour

Sarangkot is located at 1,600m and about 45 minutes from Pokhara. Famous for its sunrise view it is a stunning place to view the Annapurna Range, Pokhara, and Fewa Lake.
Trips up Sarangkot begin in the dark, to reach the top in time to watch the sun come up over the Himalayas, lighting the snow-capped mountains in a warm orange glow.
There are several refugee camps in Pokhara, the nearest to Davis Falls being Tashi Ling where visitors can buy handicrafts and see Tibetan carpets being handmade in the carpet factory and showroom.
Set in almost 6 hectares of land, the International Mountain Museum allows visitors to learn more about Himalayan ascents, Himalayan peoples, and the geology and flora, and fauna of the Himalayas. There are interactive displays, video films, a climbing wall, a restaurant, and model homes to be explored in this fascinating and spacious museum.
Day 3: Pokhara to Kathmandu (Flight), Morning Boating
Kathmandu
Time: 4 hours
Accommodation: Hotel
Meals: Breakfast
The reason Pokhara exists as a tourist destination is partly that it is the setting-off point for Annapurna treks and partly because of its beautiful lake. Visitors can take a variety of boats on the lake to simply enjoy the experience or to row over to Barahi Temple in the center of the lake for worship or witness others at prayer.
The temple is a two-storied Hindu temple dedicated to Goddess Durga. Saturday is the busiest day with devotes making animal sacrifices there.
