Highlights
What to see in Pokhara
Curated by our local team — the places we'd send our own family to.
Sarangkot (1,592m)
Sunrise viewpoint and the launch site for tandem paragliding — Pokhara's most thrilling 30 minutes.
World Peace Pagoda
Hilltop white stupa with 360° views of the lake, the city and the Annapurna range behind.
Davis Falls & Mahendra Cave
The disappearing waterfall and an atmospheric limestone cave — a half-day cultural side trip.
Begnas Lake
A quieter, less-touristed lake 30 minutes from Pokhara — perfect for kayaking and a riverside lunch.
