The trek from Naudada to Sarangkot is a ridge-side jungle path that goes through dense forest of rhododendrons, bamboo, and other Himalayan alpine plants. This is an amazing and enjoyable meditative trail for comfortable hiking. This was the ancient legendary path, but it was abandoned after the road facility was approached. A few years back, the local Government of this region had developed it again for a comfortable trek along the thrilling historical ridges. The trail offers unique scenes of the Himalayas, as well as harmonious landscapes, diverse flora, and abundant fauna. You never meet vehicles except hearing them far away from your path. In some areas, you can observe ancient KOT, temples, and shrines. We advise carrying enough drinking water and energy bars for the day, as there are no shops until you reach Sarangkot

There are so many nice options in Pokhara, whether you want to explore around the Phewa Lake and hang out in the bars or at the nice restaurants, take a spa or Massage, or souvenir shopping, or explore the following sites:

WORLD PEACE PAGODA STUPA: The World Peace Pagoda can be seen on top of a hill on the southern fringe of Phewa Lake. It has four images of the Buddha facing the four directions. The dome-shaped pagoda is an impressive sight, and its hilltop location commands a great view. It is a great vantage point that offers spectacular views of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri, and Manaslu. Near the Peace Pagoda are Pumdi and Bumdi, two villages above Phewa Lake's southern rim for exceptional views of the mountains. They have the old-style oval-shaped, red clay houses.

INTERNATIONAL MOUNTAIN MUSEUM (IMM): The museum, situated 1.5 km south of Pokhara Airport at Rato Pairo, has on display historical documents, records, and chronicles on mountaineering. It has three main exhibition halls: Hall of the Great Himalaya, Hall of Fame, and the Hall of World Mountains. There is also a library, a prayer room, and an audio-visual room. The museum, managed by the Nepal Mountaineering Association, was established with the theme “Man, Mountain and Mountain activities around the world”.

BOATING: Pokhara’s Phewa Lake naturally draws visitors towards it. Easily the best means of recreation, boating is a favorite pastime that one can enjoy at any time of day. The other two lakes, Begnas and Rupa, are located 15 km out of Pokhara. Less visited but no less beautiful, both these lakes are excellent for boating and fishing.

DAVI'S FALL AND GUPTESWOR CAVE: Locally known as the Patale Chhango (fall of the Netherworld), Davi’s fall is a ferocious waterfall located about 2 km southwest of Lakeside on the Siddhartha Highway. The source of the waterfall is Phewa Lake, and the fall itself is named after a Swiss lady who was swept away by the fall in 1961. The fall cuts through the rocks to create complex caves and tunnels on its path.

Gupteshwar Mahadev cave is on the other side of the fall. It is under the land like a tunnel, but it is a natural cave with limestone. In the middle of the cave, there is a sacred shrine dedicated to Shiva. The tunnel is a bit narrow, slippery, and dark from the temple to the waterfalls of Davi’s fall. However, there is an electric light and well-built steps for safety. It is not allowed to go further than the temple during the Monsoon season.

Useful Info

Best Time to Trek

Autumn (September to November): This is considered the prime season due to stable weather, clear skies, and excellent mountain views. Temperatures are mild, and the monsoon rains have cleared.

Spring (March to May): Another excellent time, characterized by blooming rhododendron forests, warmer temperatures, and clear views. Towards late May, there might be an increase in rainfall as the monsoon season approaches.

Winter (December to February) is also possible but requires warmer gear as temperatures can drop significantly, and snow can be present at higher altitudes.

Monsoon (June to August) brings heavy rain, making trails slippery and increasing the risk of landslides and leaches, hence it's generally not recommended.
