Pokhara: Peace Pagoda Hike with Boat Ride and Hotel Pickup – Ghandruk, Nepal

EXPERIENCE

Embark on a guided hike to the Shanti Stupa in Pokhara, the first World Peace Pagoda in Nepal. Enjoy a boat trip across Fewa Lake, and take in panoramic views of the Annapurna Massif, Hiunchuli, Machhapuchhre, Dhaulagiri, Pokhara Valley, and Fewa Lake.

Start with a short walk through the touristy downtown area of Lakeside from your hotel to Fewa Lake. Take a short boat trip across the lake before starting your journey to the Peace Pagoda. Once you reach the opposite bank, get down and start hiking.

The path goes through a thick forest filled with wildflowers and pine trees called Raniban (Queen s Forest). Uphill stairs, the chippering of birds, jumping of squirrels, colorful butterflies, springs, and more are the interesting things you can see on the forest up way to the Peace Pagoda.

It may take an hour or two (depending on your pace) to reach the top. Once you reach the top, enjoy a bird s-eye view of the entire valley. Spend a few hours at the Peace Pagoda, and if the weather is clear, capture stunning views of the Annapurna Massif, Hiunchuli, Machhapuchhre, Dhaulagiri, Pokhara Valley, and Fewa Lake in your camera.

After that, start walking down to the downtown city called Chhorepatan through a small village, descending down stairs for another 30-40 minutes. After reaching down to the city, your private vehicle will drive you back to your hotel.
