Hiking
For those who love nature, fresh air, and panoramic views, Nepal is a paradise for hikers. With its peaceful environment, lush hills, and the majestic Himalayas in the background, Nepal offers countless scenic trails ideal for both short hikes and longer day trips.
Hiking durations can range from just one hour to three or four hours—perfect for beginners or those with limited time. We highly recommend exploring the stunning hills and countryside surrounding the Pokhara Valley.
World Peace Pagoda:
The World Peace Pagoda Hike is a must for anybody looking for a blend of culture and environment. A short hike through verdant woodlands brings you to a hilltop stupa with expansive views of the city, Phewa Lake, and the far-off snow-capped hills.
Methlang:
Just a short hike from Pokhara, Methlang offers a quiet and less-crowded trail through small settlements and green hills. It provides stunning views of the Annapurna range and the valley below—ideal for a quick nature escape close to the city.
Kaun Danda:
This ridge-top hike gives you a bird’s-eye view of Pokhara and its surrounding hills. A peaceful trail, it’s great for sunrise or sunset walks and provides a real sense of calm with 360-degree views of lakes and mountains.
Dhampus Village
The Dhampus Village Hike is a pleasant alternative that takes you past traditional Gurung villages and terraced fields. The trek offers breathtaking views of the Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre, and Hiunchuli mountains.
Australian Camp
Hikers with a greater sense of adventure might go on the Australian Camp Hike, a day journey that provides breathtaking vistas of the mountains and an insight into rural Nepali life.
The experience of hiking through pure environment, engaging with local populations, and taking in the peaceful majesty of the Himalayas is what makes these walks in Pokhara so worthwhile, rather than merely the final goal. Enjoy Hiking ! For more information click here.
Trekking
Pokhara, the gateway to the Himalayas, is a prime destination for hikers seeking stunning landscapes and diverse trails. The Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) trek is renowned for its spectacular views and varied ecosystems, including terraced farms, lush forests, and charming mountain villages, culminating at the base camp surrounded by majestic peaks like Machapuchare and Annapurna.
Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek
The shorter Ghorepani Poon Hill trek offers breathtaking sunrise views of the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna ranges. The Khumai Trek provides a peaceful experience through remote villages, with opportunities to explore diverse cultures and enjoy views of the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna mountains.
Kori Trek
The lesser-known Kori Trek in the lower Annapurna region offers serene landscapes and cultural interactions through subtropical forests, grasslands, and traditional villages. Mardi Trek features close-up views of the Annapurna range and Mardi Himal, with varied terrain and stunning sunrise vistas, making it suitable for trekkers of all skill levels.
