Getting There

If you are traveling by car in the Western Development Region, head towards Pokhara by following the Prithvi Highway (also known as the Kathmandu-Pokhara Highway). Depending on your starting point, you may need to navigate local roads to connect to the highway. The drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara typically takes about 6-8 hours, while from places like Bandipur or Begnas Lake, it may take 2-3 hours. Look for signs directing you to Pokhara. Once you reach Pokhara, follow the signs to Phewa Marga, which is the main road leading to the heart of Pokhara.

Public Transportation (Bus)
For those opting for public transportation, the most common method is to take a tourist bus from Kathmandu to Pokhara. Buses leave from various terminals, including the Tourist Bus Park in Kathmandu.

Keep in mind that microbuses may have less legroom and can be a bit cramped. After arriving in Pokhara, you can hire a local taxi or take a rickshaw to your final destination at Phewa Marga.
