How to Get There
Pokhara is located in the heart of Nepal. One can reach the city from Delhi via a flight or .can first reach Kathmandu and take a connecting flight. Alternatively, one can reach Pokhara from Katmandu via road also. It takes about 5.5 hours to reach this way. Visa for Nepal is not required only one needs to carry an Indian Government-issued photo identity card preferably an Indian passport.
Packing for Pokhara, Nepal
While you might be inclined to pack wintery clothes for Pokhara, I would urge you to carefully pack and not overload winter clothes. However, if you are going in the peak winter season then you might require a layer more for visiting beautiful romantic places in Pokhara. In months like March, April, May, September, October, and November you may also pack shorter dresses as in these months the temperature here is comfortable. We also recommend packing an umbrella as rains are a little unpredictable here. Nepal, being a little more culturally focused country, carrying decent clothes in order to visit some of the magnificent Pokhara temples is recommended. Lastly don’t forget to pack your toiletries depending upon the kind of hotel you have checked in you might or might not get these in your hotel rooms.
Where To Stay in Pokhara
The central attraction point of Pokhara is the lake and so most hotels and resorts are made facing it. The best part about Pokhara is that one get stay options for all budget ranges. Most of the guesthouses that are there in Pokhara are quite reasonably priced and have good amenities. From the rooms, one can have a lake view. While from hotel balconies or terraces one can see the mesmerizing Annapurna mountain ranges of the Himalayas and enjoy a lazy breakfast or the evening tea time.
Romantic Places in Pokhara & Things To Do There
Go Boating in Phewa Lake
Phewa lake (Fewa lake) is the biggest lake in Pokhara. It is also the most mesmerizing one among the many lakes in this city. Hence it is one of the best romantic places in Pokhara.

One can also seek blessings of the divine at Tal Barahi Temple which is located on a small island in the Phewa lake.
Go Hiking & Trekking
Those couples who have the adventure streak in them can also indulge in mountain hiking. Being close to Annapurna mountain ranges, there are many small and long hikes that one can indulge in. Like one can opt for a small 3-day trek like Poon Hill Ghorepani trek. Or take up a long trek one of them being the Annapurna Base Camp trek. Spending time enjoying a common passion is romantic indeed.
