After breakfast, we depart for Pokhara, renowned as “The Lake City” due to its abundance of lakes.

In the early morning, we set off for Sarangkot, a hill offering stunning panoramic views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges to the north, and the city of Pokhara to the south. Here, we witness the spectacular sunrise over the majestic Himalayas. Afterward, we return to Pokhara to continue exploring the city’s notable landmarks. Davis Falls is an extraordinary waterfall that cascades directly into a narrow and deep canal with no visible end. Adjacent to Davis Falls is the Shiva Cave, which contains a shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva, a significant Hindu deity. We also enjoy a boat ride on Phewa Lake, Pokhara’s largest lake, and visit Bindyabasini Temple situated at the lake’s center. Additionally, we tour the renowned International Mountain Museum (IMM), which documents the history and development of mountaineering activities worldwide, with a particular focus on the Himalayas.
