Today, explore the rich history of Gorkha Durbar, a magnificent palace complex situated on a hilltop. This historical site is associated with the unification of Nepal, as it was once the residence of the Shah kings. Enjoy the spectacular views from the palace, overlooking the surrounding valleys and mountains. After the tour, you will drive to Bandipur, a picturesque hill station known for its preserved cultural heritage and natural beauty. Once you arrive in Bandipur, you can take a leisurely stroll around the quaint village, which still retains its traditional architecture, and enjoy a peaceful night.

In the morning, explore Bandipur’s charming streets and enjoy the views of the Annapurna and Manaslu ranges. Visit places like Bindabasini Temple and the Tundikhel viewpoint for spectacular panoramas. After lunch, you will drive to Pokhara, a popular tourist destination in Nepal, known for its tranquil lakes and stunning mountain views. Upon arrival in Pokhara, check-in to your hotel and begin exploring the serene Phewa Lake or stroll around the lively lakeside area.

Get an early start for the trip to Sarangkot, located just 11 km from Pokhara, famous for offering a magnificent sunrise view of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. The view of the mountains being bathed in the first light of day is one of the highlights of the tour. After breakfast, you have the option to take part in thrilling adventure activities such as paragliding, bungy jumping, or even an ultra-light flight over the beautiful landscape of Pokhara. These activities offer a unique and adrenaline-pumping way to experience the beauty of the region.
