Absolutely loved my experience in Pokhara, Nepal. I stayed there for a week but I'm dying to go back. There's just so much to explore, the city is stunning and the people are really nice. I stayed in a hostel called Forest Lake in the Lakeside area and I can't recommend it enough!! Went paragliding, hired a little canoe to get to the temple in the middle of the lake... To move around, I recommend using the app Pathao (it's like the local Uber) to get rides on motorbikes.

Best place to chill and have quality time with your friends or whatsoever. Pokhara is always amazing to visit. So many places to visit and food to try. Goddddd, a cold beer in hand and sitting beside the lake watching the lights and lakes at night is the best part of Pokhara for me.😊
