Pokhara is a very beautiful valley in central Nepal. Among all the valleys in Nepal, this particular valley has been blessed by the incredible beauty of nature. The stunning view of the Annapurna mountains (including the iconic Machhapuchhre), the presence of serene lakes, caves, waterfall and rivers make this place a perfect destination for those seeking for a peaceful retreat with stunning views. Additionally, the Pokhara city - the heart of the valley, perfectly perched on the shore of the Phewa Lake, with its laid-back and welcoming vibe add additional charm to the valley and make it a superb place to unwind. 

Amigo Treks and Expedition’s Pokhara Introductory tour is a 2 Nights 3 Days tour, in which you will visit all major, natural as well as man-made attractions in Pokhara. 

Highlights:

  • The Phewa Lake is the second largest, the most accessible and the most visited lake in Nepal. It’s the best place in Pokhara to enjoy tranquil water and take in the beautiful backdrop of the surrounding mountains and their reflection on its surface.  
  • The Tal Barahi Temple, the Lake Temple or the Barahi Temple is a Hindu temple of goddess Barahi located on an island in the middle of the Phewa Lake and is a very significant religious monument in Pokhara. 
  • Pumdikot is a hill station near Pokhara that offers a lookout point that stands at the elevation of 1500 meters above sea level and also has the second tallest statue of Lord Shiva. The view point offers stunning views of the peaks in the Annapurna Mountain range, Pokhara Valley, World Peace Pagoda as well as the Phewa Lake. 
  • The World Peace Pagoda is a Buddhist monument built as a symbol of peace. The location also provides beautiful views of the peaks in the Annapurna Mountain Range, Pokhara Valley and the Phewa Lake. 
  • The Devi’s Fall is a unique waterfall that originates from the Phewa Lake and disappears underground.
  • The Gupeshwor Cave is one of the longest caves in Nepal that sits just across the Devi’s Fall. This cave is famous for its religious significance and natural formation. The interior of the cave consists of deposition of calcium carbonate and surrounding limestone and the premises also features rare minerals and elements. 
  • The International Mountain Museum is a museum that showcases indigenous inhabitants, their lifestyle, culture of the mountain region of Nepal and the world and other information related to mountaineering in Nepal. 
  • Sarangkot is a very famous hilltop viewpoint near Pokhara that offers panoramic views of the mountains in the Annapurna and the Dhaulagiri range. It’s the best place to enjoy the mountain sunrise view while in Pokhara. 

This short Pokhara tour starts with a luxury tourist bus ride to Pokhara from Kathmandu (private car or flight can be arranged upon request at extra cost). In Pokhara, you will check into the hotel, before setting out on this Pokhara exploratory tour. On day one you will explore the lake area, enjoy a relaxing boat ride, a visit to Tal Barahi and observe the evening Aarati program. Day two starts with a sunrise view trip from Sarangkot, which will be followed by the exploratory tour of all other above-mentioned attractions in Pokhara. Day three will be a drive back to Kathmandu from Pokhara. Despite being a very short Pokhara trip, this package allows you to experience almost 90% of the attractions in Pokhara. 

This Is Worth Noting: Amigo Treks and Expedition can also organize this trip from Chitwan and Lumbini. 

This quick Pokhara tour makes a perfect tour option for a short family vacation, school or college retreats, group trips that comprises of children and senior citizens, groups or solo travelers looking for a budget friendly Pokhara tour, time-bound travelers, travelers wanting to enjoy great mountains views without having to trek at all, as well as for travelers looking for a short relaxing trip after a multiday trek in Nepal.

Pokhara is also a hub for adventure tourism, where you can experience adventure activities like paragliding, hot air balloon ride, zip lining, rafting, bungee jumping, ultralight flight etc. Therefore, if you are also interested in trying out some adventure activities, while on a short Pokhara tour, you might be interested in our  Pokhara Adventure Tour package. 

If you are already in Pokahara and looking for just a day tour, Pokhara Landmark Tour or even a longer Dawn to Dusk Pokhara City Tour will be the best Pokhara sightseeing options. 

Additionally, Pokhara is also a starting point of several treks in the Annapuran region in Nepal. Therefore, if you’d like to combine this Pokhara tour with a short trek, have a look at our other packages like Pokhara City Tour With A Day Hike and  Pokhara City Tour With 2 Days Trek.
