Lace up your walking boots and set off on a 3-hour hike through the Himalayan hills to the Pokhara World Peace Pagoda, perched up high.
Built in 1996, the pagoda stands 35 metres tall, with 37 steps leading you to its second tier. Here, four Buddhas, each from a different cultural tradition, gaze out in all cardinal directions. The south is watched over by a standing bronze Buddha, while a meditative Sri Lankan Buddha faces the west. To the north, you'll find a Thai Buddha, and looking east is a serene Japanese Buddha.
This serene monument is well worth the walk and offers staggering views over Phewa Lake all the way to Sarangkot on a clear day. Trust us, it's a scene that'll linger in your memory long after you've left.
But the adventure doesn't end there. After soaking in the phenomenal panorama, you'll walk down to the lake to go boating. As you gently glide across it, you'll hop off onto a tiny island to visit another gem of a pagoda.
It's the ideal blend of active exploration and quiet reflection, surrounded by the natural beauty of Nepal.
You can include this experience as part of an Experience Travel Group holiday designed exclusively for you.
