Pokhara 3-Day Adventure Tour
Overview
Spend 3 days discovering Pokhara, Nepal — Subtropical climate at a lower elevation (~820m) than Kathmandu, so noticeably warmer and more humid: hot, wet summers (highs 29-30°C with heavy monsoon rain June-September, as Pokhara is one of Nepal's wettest cities), and mild, drier winters (highs 20-22°C). October-November and March-April for the clearest views of the Annapurna range and mild highs of 24-28°C; the June-August monsoon frequently obscures mountain views with cloud. This itinerary blends Sarangkot sunrise viewpoint, World Peace Pagoda (Shanti Stupa), Lakeside (Phewa Lake promenade) with free time to explore at your own pace, backed by round-trip flights, handpicked accommodation, and a dedicated travel consultant from enquiry through departure.

Sarangkot sunrise viewpoint alone was worth the trip, but combined with Paragliding from Sarangkot this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

Our trip to Pokhara was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Phewa Lake shoreline was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.
