Pokhara is a paradise for everyone, as one can see its heavenly surroundings with beautiful snow-capped mountains, and a magnificent lake of crystal clear pure Himalayan water. Pokhara is situated 200 kilometers west of Kathmandu, at an altitude of 827 meters from sea level. This is one of the picturesque spots in Nepal. It is linked both by Air and by road from Kathmandu and the Indian border Sunauli. Pokhara offers magnificent views of the mountains namely-- Dhaulagiri, Fishtail, Manaslu, and the five peaks of Annapurna among others. This is one of the few places that provide such a dramatic view in a sub-tropical setting. The nearest snow-capped mountain - Fishtail is less than 30 kilometers from Pokhara. The lakes around the valley offer tourists various activities like fishing, boating, and swimming. Therefore, the tour in Pokhara is to have fond in life. Pokhara is the second-largest valley after Kathmandu in Nepal. You can have a scenic mountain flight or drive approximately 5 to 6 hours to get to this valley. It is famous for its lakes and views of the magnificent Himalayan peaks, like many temples and stupas. We recommend a tour to Pokhara for those who would like to break away as they go boating in the calm and serene waters of the Phewa Lake, or take day hikes in nearby hills and, if time permits, short treks into the Himalayas.

My first trip to Nepal (spending just a week) and a friend who has been on treks with Himalayan Joy Adventure, introduced me to Cholendra Karki. As I was not interested in trekking Cholendra arranged for a tour of Kathmandu/Patan/ Bakhtapur (2 nights out of Kathmandu) and 3 nights in Pokhara. This included a car and driver (Mahesh) and two amazing tour guides - out of Kathmandu (Kumar) and another tour guide for the Pokhara trip (Tika). With Kathmandu/Patan/Pokhara more on historical/religious/UNESCO sites, guide Kumar proved to be an expert on the history and mythological tales surrounding each site. Truly gifted guide - so full of knowledge and experience. Two days later, Tika picked me up from my hotel with driver Mahesh at 5:30 am for some 7-hour drive to Pokhara. Pokhara was more on nature with amazing views of Mt Anapoorna and sister mountains in all their majesty. Tika again proved to be knowledgeable and since the sites require some mild hikes, he was also very patient to pace the trip out so as to ensure the customer is not rushed. He is also a very caring and humble person and ever helpful. Thanks to Cholendra, Kumar, Tika and Driver Mahesh, this was one superbly memorable trip to Nepal. I will certainly return and perhaps even consider some simple treks. Himalayan Joy Adventures will certainly be my choice when entrusting arrangements to be made.
