Where the Himalayas Feel Closest

Nepal packs an outsized amount into a small stretch of land — UNESCO temple squares, prayer-flag-strung monasteries, and, from Pokhara, some of the closest views of the Annapurna range you'll find without trekking gear. This trail moves gently between Kathmandu's heritage core and lakeside Pokhara.
