Getting There

Trekking
Start your journey from Lakeside Pokhara, a popular tourist area. Head towards the main road and locate the bus station. Look for a local bus heading towards Mudi, which is approximately 15 km from Pokhara. The bus ride will take about 30-40 minutes. Once you reach Mudi, disembark at the main stop. From Mudi, there are marked trekking paths leading up to Mahabharat Lekh. Follow the signs and local guidance, as the path is generally well-trodden. It will take around 1-2 hours to reach Mahabharat Lekh, depending on your pace. Enjoy the scenic views along the way!

Hiking
If you prefer a more direct hiking route, from Lakeside Pokhara, head to the 'World Peace Pagoda'. This is a popular starting point for treks. Follow the trail that leads up the hill towards the pagoda. After visiting the pagoda, continue on the trail that leads towards Mudi. This hike is more challenging and will take approximately 3-4 hours, but you will be rewarded with stunning views of the Annapurna range and Pokhara valley.
