Getting There

Car

If you're traveling by car, head towards Pokhara. From the center of Pokhara, drive to Chhorepatan and look for the signs directing you to the World Peace Stupa. The Durga Temple is located near the Stupa Access Road. Once you reach the parking area for the World Peace Stupa, you can either walk or take a short hike uphill to the temple. Note that parking might incur a small fee, typically around NPR 50-100.
Public Bus

If you choose to take public transportation, catch a local bus heading to Chhorepatan from the main bus terminal in Pokhara. Buses run frequently, and the fare is quite affordable, usually around NPR 30-50. Once you arrive in Chhorepatan, ask locals for directions to the World Peace Stupa. From there, you can walk to the Durga Temple, which is a short hike uphill. Be prepared for some steep paths.
Taxi

For a more comfortable option, consider hiring a taxi from Pokhara to the Durga Temple. This will cost you around NPR 500-800 depending on the negotiation. The taxi will take you directly to the base of the hill where the temple is located. From the drop-off point, you will need to walk a short distance uphill to reach the temple.
Walking

If you are staying nearby in Chhorepatan, you can walk to the Durga Temple. From the main road, follow the path leading to the World Peace Stupa. The temple is situated on a hill, so prepare for a short but steep walk that takes about 20-30 minutes.
