Day 1 - Only Day

Detailed Itinerary

Imagine waking up in Pokhara, the vibrant heart of Nepal. Today’s your day to trade bustling streets for serene hills, and your guide awaits at your hotel by noon. Lakeside? We’ll grab a boat, its gentle rocking a prelude to the adventure ahead. Not near the lake? No worries! In the taxi, your guide will paint a picture of the hike, anticipation already bubbling.

By 12:30, you’ll be gliding across the glassy surface of Phewa Lake, the sun warming your face and the Annapurna peaks mirroring in its depths. 30 minutes later, your feet touch the earth, ready to embark on the World Peace Pagoda trail.

Now, this isn’t your average stroll. The path winds up and down, sometimes testing your legs, but the reward is worth every step. The air hums with the chatter of fellow travelers and the sweet melody of birdsong. Lush greenery envelops you, offering shade and serenity. Remember, monsoon season can make things slippery, so pack accordingly!

By 1:45, you’ll find yourself emerging from the forest, greeted by the majestic World Peace Pagoda. Its white serenity radiates peace, a stark contrast to the vibrant prayer flags fluttering in the breeze. Take a moment to soak it all in: the panoramic vista of snow-capped peaks, the emerald embrace of the hills, and the peaceful hum of the monastery nearby.

By 2:45, the decision is yours. Feel your legs still raring to go? Hike back through the Tibetan Monastery, soaking in the local culture. Or, simply hop in a car and let the gentle ride whisk you back to Lakeside.

This day trip is more than just a hike; it’s a journey to inner peace, a chance to connect with nature’s beauty, and a memory that will stay etched in your heart long after you leave Pokhara. So, are you ready to answer the call of the mountains?

Bonus Tip: Pack comfortable shoes, water, and sunscreen. Remember, respect local customs and leave no trace behind. Let’s keep the magic of Pokhara alive for everyone!

Couple Traveller

Be ready to climb 480 steps (960 return trip)! There are many souvenirs shops along the way to the pagoda.
However, all that climb is worth it after you reach the site. The view along the way is also spectacular!

No video recording is allowed in both the outer and inner side of the pagoda. Once you reach the inner part, you need to take off your shoes. Admire the serenity around the place, you can literally hear the sound of nothing. Very peaceful. I heard lots of locals visit the pagoda early in the morning to meditate. Sunrise views will be unreal from this spot.

Offer your prayer in the main altar or offer a donation if you want to. If you’re like me and like to do what the locals are doing, take 3 rounds of walk around the pagoda, clockwise only. This is believed so that we don’t go against nature.

Thankyou Guys for making this happen, me and my wife, we both are so happy.
