Overview

Lake mornings, mountain sunrises and a paragliding afternoon

Pokhara sits at 822 m beside Phewa Lake with the Annapurna range rising straight out of the valley behind it — the easiest place in Nepal to wake up to an 8,000 m mountain view. This short break is built for families and first-time visitors who want the scenery without a trek.

You start with the classic Sarangkot sunrise, watching Dhaulagiri, Annapurna and the fishtail summit of Machhapuchhre light up one after another. The rest of the itinerary balances sightseeing — Davis Falls, Gupteshwor cave and the Old Bazaar — with slow lake time, rowing out to the Tal Barahi temple island and walking up to the World Peace Pagoda.

Your stay is a 4★ lakefront hotel with daily breakfast, a private air-conditioned vehicle for all sightseeing and a local licensed guide for two days. Tandem paragliding, boat hire and museum tickets can be added at cost, and the whole package is refundable up to 21 days before travel.

    Perfect long weekend with kids

    Well paced for a family — boating and the cave were a hit, and the hotel let us check out late on the last day.

    Sarangkot sunrise is worth the 4:45 AM

    Clear morning, whole Annapurna range visible. Guide was knowledgeable and the private vehicle was clean and on time.

    Good value, add paragliding

    The package is well priced; paragliding costs extra but book it through them — pickup and drop were included.
