Top 10 Hidden Gems Things to do in Pokhara, Western Region

August 20, 2021 Chanda Heide

Most visitors to Pokhara stop here before starting or after finishing the "Round Annapurana" trekking route. Because of its popularity with travelers, the city itself has relatively modern hotels and restaurants, but you’ll also find ancient lakes, waterfalls and gorges, and, of course, majestic views of the Himalayan Mountains.

Frontiers Paragliding

We have been flying tandems in Nepal for over 17 years. Our pilots are some of the most experienced in the business, and many of us fly for our national paragliding teams in the Paragliding World Cup. We are, and always have been, the leading choice for tandem flights in Nepal, not only due to the depth of our experience, but also because we are passionate about flying. We would love to share the incredible experience of paragliding in Pokhara with you.

I have been coming to Jiva for years and I absolutely love their massages! I particularly love the body scrub. The whole experience is great- a nice lemon water to start, really professional staff, lovely private cabins, and heaters and hot water bottles in the winter. The body scrub leaves you feeling lovely and soft. I would definitely recommend the scrub followed by massage for ultimate relaxation! :)

Movie Garden

A British/Nepali collaboration. Movie Garden was conceived to create a truly unique experience of the greatest films of the last 50 years. Our location is hidden away at the jungle's edge in North Lakeside with a panoramic backdrop of Fewa Lake. Half covered and half open-air seating keeps the show on the road no matter what the weather and flashes of thunder and lightning can make for some of the most memorable nights of the year! We make our own pizza to authentic Italian recipes and keep the bar fully stocked so you can get a refreshment and soak up the view before the film begins. After the show is over we often find ourselves lingering until late to swap stories with the always varied mix of travelers, volunteers, adventurers and locals. Come and say hi sometime!

This place is a dream, we’ve been there many nights watching a movie in that amazing garden. Even that we are in the middle of the winter the experience is amazing, they provide blankets and very good drinks for fair prices.

I initially booked a 3 nights/4days retreat that were easily extended because it was simply so hard to leave this place! Great location surrended by nature, on a hill overlooking Pokhara and the lake the retreat offers cozy accommodations and comfortable common outside areas and terrace with stunning views. The food is delicious, various abundant and very well balanced for a proper yogi diet and the house herbal tea always available. I had a wonderful time and finally understood the real meaning of yoga! The physical practice,meditation, the sound immersion experience and the chanting sessions are perfectly scheduled so that you are experiencing every aspect of the yoga life. Thanks to the teachers who make it so special, Yogesh, Raaj, BJ led by Manohar. Looking forward to enjoying another and longer experience with you again!

The GN reiki meditation center is growing bigger and better! The lovely family of GN moved in a new and big beautiful location, the love is continously expanding, and everytime I met them is like stepping inside a healing energy field, the smile the talk the welcoming…so now the GN reiki center in addiction to the amazing courses, daily meditation, yoga, and healing practice , they offer accommodation and meal in a very safe, quiet and beautiful enviroment . Residential Yoga Alliance International certified 21 days and 10 days transformational yoga TTC. The new location is at half way up to the hill, and everyday you can enjoy the amazing view on Fewa lake…there are differrent type of accommodation (all the windows have mosquito screen) all with attached bathroom, very hot water (even too hot sometimes) safe, clean, with a comfortable bed and a authentic ,tasty yummy traditional nepali meal, the chef is very talented!!! They will make sure that your stay will be the most comfortable in all the aspect . In 15 minutes of easy walk you can be in lake side main road with all shops, café and restaurant, but in the night go back in the quietness of the nest of GN center. If you look for something " real" something different and you want start a deep change make the first step up to the light. Everything single thing they are doing , is done it from the heart with a real deep understanding. Thank you to all of you for the amazing experience, may you have happiness and the causes of happiness, and may all your dream become real. Looking forward to be back
