After taking in the sunrise, we'll return to your hotel for a delicious breakfast to fuel your day.
Fuel up with breakfast, as the excitement of the day continues with a peaceful boat ride on the stunning Phewa Lake.

This picturesque destination is sure to leave you in awe, surrounded by the tranquil beauty of the water and the grandeur of the temple. Soak in the spiritual atmosphere and immerse yourself in the unique cultural experience of visiting the Barahi Temple.
Our journey towards peace and serenity continues with a visit to the World Peace Pagoda, a magnificent Buddhist monument dedicated to promoting world peace.

Fabulous trip. Roman our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable & was able to cater the timing to our convenience. He was patient & very caring. He took some amazing photos for us. Ganes our driver was very safe & kind. Not to be missed!!!! Incredible views & very calming for the soul
What a great way to see the sights of Pokhara. My guide for the morning was Kabindra and he was super attentive and very knowledgeable. The day started with a lovely sunrise at Sarangkot and ended with a choice between boating or kayaking on the lake, I chose kayaking. In between we visited caves, a waterfall, the World Peace Pagoda and saw soaring eagles.

I do not regret having booked for this Tour. My Guide Kumar was so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Had an amazing day during this tour. Cherry on the cake will be the sunrise at Sarangkot and the ambiance at Barahi Temple. A must do during the stay in Pokhara. 😊😊

I was lucky to have a private tour and my guide was amazing! He was so informative, really knows his stuff. I highly recommend this tour to everyone

Always a real pleasure to share the Millennium eco trek with my friend Kumar. Fantastic landscapes, disconcerting and dazzling. We were received by the locals and were able to share their customs, joy and humility for even one evening at a time. I love this trek, which is why I'm going back with great interest. Kumar is an exceptional guide, professional, attentive to others, available 24 and especially HAPPY!!! To do without moderation.
