Getting There
-
Walking
From the World Peace Pagoda, head south down the path that leads away from the stupa. Follow the well-marked trail that descends into the forest. Keep an eye out for signs pointing towards 'Viewpoint.' The path will wind through lush greenery and may be a bit steep in some sections, but it's well-trodden. Continue walking for about 20-30 minutes until you reach a clearing; this is the Viewpoint where you can enjoy stunning views of Pokhara and the surrounding mountains.
-
Hiking
If you prefer a more adventurous route, consider taking a hiking trail that branches off to the east shortly after you leave the stupa. This trail is more rugged and will take you through the hills. It will take approximately 45-60 minutes to reach the Viewpoint. Ensure you wear appropriate footwear and carry enough water, as this trail can be quite challenging.
