You can’t visit Nepal without visiting Pokhara. It has the nicest views ever. We stayed at Pokhara Grande but it felt like an average hotel rather than a 5 stars hotel. The services are not bad, just that the hotel is a bit old. The view is pretty nice though, we were able to see the Annapurna mountains from our room (if it is a clear day otherwise the mountains will be covered in clouds). Driving to Pokhara to Kathmandu is really long, about an 8 hours journey since there is a lot of constructions. It was not exactly a smooth ride as we are driving along the windy and bumpy road. We actually decided to take the flight back to Kathmandu which takes about 30 minutes. The only downside about taking the flight is the weather conditions. Our flight was scheduled in the morning but it was really foggy so the flight was delayed for 5 hours. Definitely not great waiting at the airport and not knowing what is going to happen.
1. Sunrise at Sarangkot
📍 Pokhara 33700
30 minutes drive from our hotel
It is a must go to catch the sunrise. It is stunning! There is a short climb from the carpark, about 10 to 15 minutes away depending on your speed. Sarangkot is located at 1600m altitude high. We were able to see the Annapurna mountains. Mount Annapurna is the tenth highest mountain in the world at 8,091m.
2. Devi’s Fall
📍 5XQ5+HP2, Siddhartha Rajmarg, Pokhara 33700, Nepal
Devi’s fall is named after a Swiss lady whom drowned while swimming in the tunnel. The water actually came from Phewa Lake.
3. Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave
📍 5XR6+QFQ, Pokhara 33700, Nepal
4. Tibetan Refugee Camp
📍 Chhore Patan, Near Davi’s Fall, Pokhara 33411, Nepal
5. Seti River Gorge
📍 Lamachaur Rd, Pokhara 33700, Nepal
6. Phewa lake
📍 33700, Pokhara, Nepal
7. Hiking at Dhampus Village to Australian Base Camp
📍 Dhampus Village
The hike took us around 1 hour up. Longest one hour of my life, my legs were dying. The hike is worth it though, starting at 1060m high and ending at 2060m high.
Memories in the making
