If you are looking for things to do in Pokhara, look no further. Here’s how you’re going to spend a perfect and relaxing 24 hours in Nepal’s second-largest city.
Start your day by stepping outside and admiring the views of fishtail mountain from your balcony at Big Pillow Hotel. Just a couple blocks away you can kickstart your day with a cup of joe or a refreshing ginger lemon tea from the renowned Himalayan Java. Their aromatic brews are a perfect fuel for the adventures ahead. Sit back, relax, and soak in the stunning views of the Himalayas and Phewa Lake.
Take a leisurely walk along the sparkling Phewa Lake and dive into the shops lining its shores. They offer an assortment of fine cashmere goodies and traditional Nepali treasures. It’s the perfect time to indulge in a bit of retail therapy and find that perfect keepsake. We loved all the Tibetan singing bowls and unique jewelry!
Once you’ve settled in head over to Belle Lyipa for a lip-smacking lunch and some of the best bakery treats in Nepal (their Zatar Croissant was a crowd favorite!). The menu boasts delightful Nepali dishes and international favorites. Don’t miss out on their momo dumplings or aromatic dal bhat.
If you’ve managed a trek or just want to indulge, treat yourself to a soothing massage at Tranquility Spa and let the skilled therapists work their magic. You’ll feel all the stress and tension melt away, leaving you feeling rejuvenated and ready for the next couple days or your trip home.
Wrap up the day with a sensational dinner at Moondance. This elegant restaurant serves up a fusion of traditional Nepali flavors and international cuisine. Seafood lovers and meat enthusiasts alike will find something to tantalize their taste buds. The ambiance, service, and mesmerizing views create a perfect setting for an exquisite evening.
