Eastern Switzerland Pokhara, a paradise for hikers, a two-day free travel guide

———🇳🇵2024 Nepal trip: Lakes and mountains Pokhara🇳🇵——— ❤Reason for recommendation: 🇳🇵Pokhara is the most famous tourist destination in Nepal. It is also one of the major tourist spots in the world, even known as the tourist capital of Nepal, becoming a popular adventure tourist spot in South Asia and a famous base for the Annapurna trekking circuit. 🧳Preparation before departure: 🇳🇵We took a Toyota tourist car from Lumbini and arrived in Pokhara after eight hours of bumping. The journey from Lumbini is obviously more comfortable than Kathmandu and Chitwan. One is that the Japanese Toyota car is really good. It's comfortable to sit in. Second, the road conditions on this section are much better than the previous two. It is clearly felt that the further to Pokhara, the better the roads, town construction, and houses than other places. 🌟Highlights: 🇳🇵It was not yet three o'clock when we arrived in Pokhara. This time we booked a youth hostel. The inn is next to Phewa Lake. Sitting on the bed, you can see the so-called "Lake Geneva" of Nepal - Phewa Lake. 👍Most recommended: 🇳🇵Phewa Lake is the second freshwater lake in Nepal. A royal holiday resort. It originates from the snow water on Annapurna Mountain in the Himalayas. It's a bit smaller than West Lake. The deep part of the water is more than twenty meters. At more than four o'clock in the afternoon, the temperature is still nearly twenty degrees. The lake surface under the sun is quiet and soothing. There are many local Nepalese and Western restaurants and coffee shops along the lake. There are not many people on the lakeside trail. It is completely different from the attractions we have walked through before. In the evening, when the lights are on, the entire lake area seems to be a light show, very beautiful. It is said that you can see the beautiful picture of the entire city at night from the World Peace Tower on the hill by the lake. I checked the map and it takes about an hour to walk up the mountain. So we gave up the mountain view. ✅Must experience: 🇳🇵The next morning, in order to see the most famous peak of Pokhara, Fishtail Peak, we walked all the way to the cable car station. Then take the cable car to the top of Sarangkot. Fishtail Peak is right in front of you. Several famous peaks of the entire Himalayas are lined up in front of you. However, compared with the promotional photos, it is not so beautiful. Because our photography skills are not good, we can't see Fishtail Peak in the photos we took. After asking some people, we still can't get a good effect. ⏳Play time: 🇳🇵Opposite the snow mountain is the panoramic view of the entire Phewa Lake area. Back on the street, there are many small shops introducing tourist projects. The introduced projects are mainly activities. Pokhara is located on the southern slope of the Himalayas. It is the base of the Annapurna Mountain trekking project. There are various trekking projects of different lengths. From a few hours to several tens of days. In addition, there are many extreme projects. Such as paragliding, powered parachutes, bungee jumping, etc. These activities are a thing of the past for us. More suitable for European and American tourists. In Pokhara for two days, we didn't meet a Chinese tour group, which is rare in our nearly ten years of travel. Maybe it doesn't suit the taste of Chinese tourists, or it hasn't been opened by Chinese travel agencies yet.

#2023travelwish POKHARA , NEPAL🇳🇵 🇳🇵 Pokhara It is my wish and recommendation, a medium-sized and very touristy city in Nepal. For lovers of adventure, spirituality, culture and romanticism. To get to Pokhara you can take a flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara which lasts approximately 45 minutes, many times there are delays due to the weather, by bus it takes around 10 hours and it is something very wild, not highly recommended although it is cheap, 1000 Nepali rupees or 10 us. In pokhara there are many hotels at a good price, all my reservations are handled on trip. The average cost is from 10 us to 30 us per night depending on your needs. I recommend a hotel with breakfast included so you save time and can go out and enjoy the city. The local food is very healthy and natural, you will also find international food and many restaurants, bars and tourist sites near the lake. Most people speak and understand English although their native language is Nepali. You can walk, use a taxi that costs 500 rupees or rent a motorcycle from 1000 rupees per day, I recommend using GPS. You can buy a sim card at the airport with data and minutes at a comfortable price with your passport and a printed passport-type photo, ncell it's my recomendation. There many tourism companies that offer different packages for climbers, light flights, stops, tours, and all kinds of activities, can pay in dollars or rupees. There many exchange houses do not ask for any document. Normally everything is open until 10 pm, only bars and restaurants close later. GANDRUK It is a small town, it is very cold, I recommend you go by bus or jeep because the road is somewhat extreme only for experienced drivers, you can make a hotel reservation by calling and making a bank deposit or on the spot, it is difficult online. The hotels are not very comfortable, but it is worth the trip, and being able to see the great mountains up close at 3000 meters high. It is very cold On your return flight, I recommend being in Kathmandu one day before to take your international flight. The airport is small and there are always delays. To avoid missing your flight you must be in the capital a day before and if you have a connection in another country take delays into account, almost always due to weather. You can use patao jna app in the play store to order food at home, or taxi. Pokhara is one of the many amazing places in nepal, the people are very friendly, spiritual and it is safe. My wish is to return to Pokhara Nepal
