Pokhara is one of the most beautiful touristic destinations of Nepal, surrounded by truly stunning natural scenery.
Hiking in and around Pokhara is a unique experience. The city is encircled by lush green hills and offers numerous hiking routes that can be enjoyed all year round.
The Day Trip to the Peace Pagoda provides an excellent opportunity to experience rural Nepali lifestyle while enjoying panoramic mountain views from a lower altitude, along with breathtaking views of Phewa Lake.
The trip begins with a scenic boat ride across Phewa Lake to the starting point of the hike. From there, we ascend towards the World Peace Pagoda along a peaceful forest trail. Depending on the season, the path is rich in wildlife, colorful flowers, and dense greenery.
While climbing, you are continuously rewarded with changing views of Pokhara city, the lake below, and the Annapurna Mountain Range in the background. The most impressive viewpoint is from the Peace Pagoda itself, located high above the valley.
