Pokhara Road Trip- Breaking the Covid Anxiety

As our place Sikkim was engulfed by covid wave and the lockdown was like daily routine, confined in and around the house the anxiety was kicking in and on top of the, it was holiday season so we want to go out for holiday, so as most of friends group the discussion of the trip started on Whatsapp...

So we decided on a road trip with adventure, we give on other thought and long drive with adventure was on possible was Pokhara given we got only One Week holiday so that was only our option so after an eternity of discussion the Pokhara trip plan was finally on.

Pokhara needs no introduction to the world as the Outdoor capital of the world surrounded by the highest peak in the world, people try to hike and have mountain adventures but we decided to stick around the city for local adventure.

so its January 3 we started our trip from Namchi, South Sikkim, as it always happens we started our trip late it was already 9:30 am as Toit was impossible to beat the traffic on NH 10 n Siliguri Town Traffic, and as expected we were stuck on traffic for 3 hours at Siliguri reaching akarvitta around 3 Pm and it took us around 1 and a half for getting BANSHAR ( Road permit).

so after getting our Banshar ( Road Permit) we went straight to our 1st-night destination Bardibas, Nepal. we reached Bardibas around 11:00 pm

Trip from Bardibas to Pokhara

reached Pokaha around 8:00 pm after a long drive as the road in between is not in the good condition and day traffic slowed us down a lot.

Real Day begins

Pokhara had a lot of caves and we skipped all of them and decided to visit only Bat Cave.

great place to watch the sunrise and is the Shanti Stupa (also known as the World Peace Pagoda). From Lakeside, you can see this pagoda standing on top of Ananda Hill.

It takes about 25 minutes, and the road is nice to drive. You’ll have to park your vehicle at the entrance and walk some stairs for about ten minutes before reaching the stupa.
