Day 1
Drive to Pokhara and explore lake sideÂ
Day details
Buses to Pokhara from Kathmandu leave at 7:00 am from the tourist bus station. Therefore, early in the morning, you will be transferred to the tourist bus station, from your hotel in Kathmandu, to catch your bus to Pokhara. The drive to Pokhara will be on a luxury tourist bus. Leaving Kathmandu, you will head west to Pokhara. The drive is on the Prithvi Highway (a highway in Nepal that connects Pokhara and Kathmandu) that makes its way through the hills and runs mostly along the Trisuli and Marsyangdi River. It’s a very scenic drive and you can witness the views of beautiful mountains, hamlets, terraced farms, green hills as well as waterfalls that run down to feed the Trisuli and Masyangdi. The bus will stop for lunch at one of the restaurants along the highway and for a few toilet breaks before reaching Pokhara. Provided the road conditions are good (as the highway is under construction) and is not affected by the highway traffic, this drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara is approximately 5-6 hours. Once in Pokhara, from the tourist bus station, you will be transferred to the hotel booked for you. After checking into the hotel, you can take a short rest, freshen up and go for a one hour boat ride in the serene Phewa Lake and visit the Tal Barahi temple, situated on the lake. In the evening, observe lakeside Aarati, which is a Hindu religious ritual of worship, where the light from cotton wicks soaked in ghee or oil is offered to deities, while singing hymns in praise of the deities. You will then get back to the hotel for overnight stay. Please note: Private car/jeep/minivan can be arranged at extra cost, if you do not prefer to travel in a tourist bus. Moreover, if you want to spend more time in Pokhara and prefer flying to driving, flights can also be arranged at extra cost. The flight duration from Kathmandu to Pokhara is only 25 minutes.
