Practical guide
Pokhara hub
Our home base at 820 m — the staging ground for every Annapurna route. Here is what travellers ask our office most, answered honestly.
Kathmandu to Pokhara
Flying takes 25 minutes (USD 110–160 one way), tourist buses take 7–9 hours along the Prithvi Highway (NPR 800–1,500), and a private Scorpio 4WD covers the route in 6–7 hours.
Gear rental on Lakeside-6
Sleeping bags and down jackets rent for NPR 100–250 per day along Lakeside, typically against a passport copy deposit. Trekking poles, duffels and boots are available at the same shops.
Money and connectivity
ATMs line Lakeside and Mahendrapul with NPR 40,000 per-transaction caps. SIM cards from NTC and Ncell issue data packs at the airport; Wi-Fi thins out above 3,000 m.
