How to Reach

For Indian groups, there are two main routes. The fastest way is flying from India to Kathmandu, then taking a quick 25-minute domestic flight to Pokhara (approx. ₹4,000 - ₹6,000 one way). The budget-friendly route is taking a train to Gorakhpur (UP), crossing the Sunauli border by road, and taking a local or tourist bus to Pokhara (8-10 hours, approx. ₹800 - ₹1,200). If you're already in Kathmandu, tourist buses leave daily at 7 AM for Pokhara. Be warned: the Kathmandu-Pokhara highway is under massive construction, turning a 200km journey into an exhausting 9-11 hour dusty ride.
