About Pokhara Attractions

History of Pokhara:

The history of Pokhara started from the mid 18th century when the town was known as the main commercial center since it was in the middle of the old trade routes between Indian and Tibet. But when the Britishers stepped in, the trade relations between China and India got a bit deteriorated. The major turn took place in the year 1959 when there were many refugees who fled from Tibet for India. Another major change happened in the year 1968 with the addition of the Siddhartha Highway which led to Pokhara since it was easily accessible by road and that’s how it became one of the main tourist destinations for a lot of tourists. This is another reason why it is recommended for you to visit Pokhara whenever it is possible for you because it is totally worth it.

Akshay's 7 days trip to POKHARA

I recently had the pleasure of booking a trip through Snowyoda, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From start to finish, everything was perfectly arranged, ensuring a stress-free and memorable journey. The itinerary was thoughtfully curated, balancing adventure, relaxation, and cultural experiences. Every detail, from accommodations to local tours, was meticulously planned, making the trip seamless and enjoyable. The recommendations were spot-on, and the level of customer service was exceptional. Thanks to Abhishek S, I had an unforgettable experience, and I can't wait to plan my next adventure with them. If you're looking for a hassle-free, well-organized, and truly remarkable trip, I highly recommend their services! - Akshay We had fun across all the location in nepal. Most amazing experience was Chitwan and Ghandruk trek.

Mohit's 6 days trip to POKHARA

Our trip to Nepal with MD Adventures was incredibly smooth, thanks to Sabuu. She was always responsive, answering questions at any time and ensuring every detail was taken care of. Her warm welcome at the airport, along with a thoughtful gift, made us feel at ease right away. Sabuu also provided a clear and well-paced itinerary, ensuring a relaxed and peaceful experience with no rush. As requested, the itinerary had plenty of time for rest and enjoyment. One note for vegetarians: options can be limited, so it's helpful to bring your own snacks or meals. I highly recommend MD Adventures, especially with Sabuu!

Debasish's 7 days trip to POKHARA

"Exceptional Service from Snowyoda Travel Agency: Highly Recommended!" "I recently had the pleasure of booking a trip through Snowyoda Travel Agency, and I cannot speak highly enough of their service. From the moment I inquired, I was impressed by their professionalism and attention to detail. The drivers provided by Snowyoda were excellent – punctual, courteous, and skilled. The vehicles were clean and well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable and safe journey. The agency itself was incredibly accommodating to my needs. They were always readily available to answer my questions and address any concerns I had. I was particularly grateful for their assistance in obtaining Nepalese currency, which was a significant help during my travels. Snowyoda truly went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip. Their dedication to providing exceptional service is evident, and I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Nepal."

Ngpreeti's 8 days trip to POKHARA

Had a good trip overall.Roads were bad between Chitwan to Lumbini. Requirement to leave early morning (5AM) on 2 days due to road construction and conditions was slightly difficult and breakfast packed was not good/sufficient. But inspite of this the place were nice and overall support from travel agent and team was good. Upgrade in Chitwan is appreciated

Pokhara is a safe place to travel as it is one of the main tourist attraction but it is recommended whenever you plan to visit Pokhara, kindly avoid the places which are overcrowded because pickpocketing does happen a lot in such kind of places. Though, Lakeside is considered to be much safer as they are open areas with a lesser rate of crimes.
