About Pokhara
Pokhara is Nepal’s premier lakeside city and adventure hub, nestled in the Gandaki Province at the foothills of the Annapurna range. Known for its stunning natural beauty, Pokhara sits beside the tranquil Phewa Lake, where the reflections of Machhapuchhre (Fishtail Mountain) and the Annapurna peaks create one of the most iconic views in the country. The city is a gateway for trekkers heading into the Annapurna region, and also offers plenty for leisure travelers — boating on Phewa Lake, paragliding over the valley, exploring the Davis Falls and Gupteshwor Cave, or catching sunrise over the Himalayas from Sarangkot. With its relaxed lakeside atmosphere, cafes, and mountain views, Pokhara is often considered the perfect contrast to the busy streets of Kathmandu — making the road journey between the two cities a popular and rewarding trip in itself.
Distance & Travel Time
Approx. Distance: 200–210 km via the Prithvi Highway
Approx. Travel Time: 6–8 hours by private car or jeep
The route follows the Trishuli River for much of the drive, passing through scenic hill towns, river valleys, and rest stops like Mugling — a popular midway point for lunch and refreshments. While the distance is relatively short, Nepal’s winding hill roads mean the journey takes longer than the kilometers suggest, though the drive itself is considered one of the most scenic road trips in Nepal.
