Backpacker Paradise, Pokhara

If you’re not a morning person, not all is lost! The lake is still a great walk at any time of day. Stop by one of the lakeside juice makers for a healthy pickmeup, or pop into a lakeside bar for a beer or two. 

There are also a number of Tibetan crafts vendors selling their wares by the lake if you’re keen to grab a bargain.

Chill In Pokhara

 At this time of day, there’s a calmness around Pokhara that you won’t find anywhere else in Nepal, so embrace the chill.

We recommend stopping at the various lookout points overlooking the colourful paddle boats and forested slopes and watching as the locals fish, hoping to reel in one of the resident catfish.

Finish your walk in the north, where arguably the best breakfast and iced coffee in Pokhara (and all of Nepal!) awaits you at The Juicery.

Chill In Backpacker Paradise, Pokhara

 
Pokhara’s iconic lake, Phewa, wouldn’t look out of place in Switzerland such is its natural beauty. And an early morning lakeside walk is one of our favourite things to do in Pokhara.

Starting in the south, slowly walk towards the northern shores, enjoying the epic mountainscapes of the Annapurna range as the early morning light illuminates their peaks.

White Water Rafting In Nepal

 Although we would have loved to spend a day or more rafting along Nepal’s rivers, time only allowed a half-day excursion. But for those wanting to do longer rafting expeditions, there are plenty of full day and multi-day options from Pokhara - enquire with the guys from Paddle Nepal.

Bring adequate footwear for the rafting - either reef shoes or any closed toe shoe you don’t mind getting wet
