Overview
Immerse yourself in the beauty of Pokhara’s outskirts and the charming lakeside as the trip combines visits to some famous vantage points with the gorgeous Dhampus village.
Highlights
| Catch incredible views of the Annapurnas - the shiny crown jewels of Pokhara. The Himalayan panorama stays with us throughout the trip, and is awe-inspiring to say the least. | |
| Explore Phewa lake, the largest lake in the valley (there are seven in total). It's the loudest, busiest - and dare we say it - fun of them all! From devotees singing on a boat, paragliders doing crazy acrobat overhead to the bustling revellers at the shore. | |
| Observe majestic sunrise and sunset in the wide expanse of Pokhara valley. Watching changing colors over the mountains, lakes and city will be a humbling experience. |

Mountain lodges are the basic accommodation set up by locals to cater to trekkers in the trails. The common features across all lodges are standard rooms, a spacious and heated dining hall, and a restaurant with a menu. The rooms in mountain lodges generally have two or three twin beds with a mattress and blanket. If you are used to sleeping warm, we highly recommend bringing your own sleeping bag and liner. Other amenities could be a table, hanger, and dustbin but do not expect to have charging ports and attached toilets in the rooms. Moreover, it is mandatory to have meals in the facility you’re staying at.
