The drive to Pokhara takes about 7 hours and takes you through scenic hill settlements. We will take a short sightseeing tour of the lovely city. Because we don’t have much time on our hands, we won’t be able to visit all of Pokhara’s major attractions.
We will visit the city’s Lakeside area, which is a popular tourist destination. We will also visit the Tal Barahi mandir via a boat ride on Phewa Lake. We’ll walk around Lakeside’s beach area and spend the night at a hotel.

After breakfast, we’ll drive for nearly an hour and a half to Nayapul. We travel along the Beni Baglung highway to Nayapul, where we begin our hike to the picturesque village settlement of Ghandruk. The path takes us through lush forests and rivers, and we move along while admiring the breathtaking mountain views.
We arrive in Ghandruk village, which is nestled in the shadow of the pristine Annapurna range of mountains. The lovely Ghandruk village welcomes us in all its splendor. We spend the night in Ghandruk at a homestay and enjoy the welcoming ceremony, which is followed by a traditional dance performed by the local Gurung community. We have a delicious dinner of Nepali cuisine in the evening and spend the night at the homestay.
Drive back Ghandruk to Pokhara- DAY 3
We watch the sunrise from Ghandruk in the early morning. The golden rays of the sun falling on the silver mountains are a breathtaking sight. We will return to Nayapul after breakfast, passing through terraced farmed hills and unique village settlements.
We eat lunch in Nayapul before continuing on our short drive to Pokhara. In the evening, we take a stroll around the city, taking in the vibrant atmosphere of Pokhara’s Lakeside. We spend the night in Pokhara at a hotel.
