The Kathmandu - Pokhara trek starts from Gorkha Bazaar. The Gorkha region of north central Nepal is not well known as a trekking area. You are unlikely to see other trekking even in the high season. The scenery ranges from the Gorkha region with its panoramic views of Annapurna to the trek end at the beautiful Begnas Tal (lake) in Pokhara.

The old Royal Palace, Durbar Square, Swayambhunath (the Monkey Temple), Pashupatinath (a major Hindu shrine) and the giant Buddhist Stupa at Bodnath are absolute musts. Our staff can help you with arrangements or provide a guide and/or transport should you wish, or you can head off armed with a map and let the day unfold. An optional Rock-climbing activity can be organised for those who are interested - an additional cost will be incurred for this option.
