Pokhara Small Group Tours & Trips

Highlights

• The hills can be steep and the going tough, but the rewards at your destination are well worth the aching legs. Sit back with a cup of tea after a long day and watch the kids play, the sun set and the locals go about their lives.

• Gain a fascinating insight into 'real' life in the Gurung villages, where you're unlikely to see other tourists.
• Watch a magnificent sunrise over the Himalayan massif from Sarangkot.
