Day 4
Pokhara sightseeing of world peace stupa
Breakfast at hotel, sightseeing of world peace stupa, Night stay at Pokhara
The World Peace Pagoda is a popular destination southwest of Pokhara, situated at an altitude of almost 1000 meters. Visitors can enjoy views of the Himalayan peaks, as well as Phewa Lake and Sarangkot Mountain. To reach the World Peace Pagoda, you can take a taxi from Pokhara, but you still have to walk a bit to reach the pagoda and its main viewpoint. Alternatively, you can rent a bike or a motorbike and brave the steep and rocky roads. Or you can do a panoramic hiking loop as I did: hike for two hours from Pokhara Damside, along a trail through the forest, and go down to Phewa Lake along the Stupa Walkway.
From Lakeside, all local buses go to Damside Road. When the bus I was on passed the famous German Bakery, a good landmark, I knew it was time to get off and start walking. It was easy to spot the brilliant white pagoda uphill and head towards it
