Ride through the hills surrounding Pokhara on a mountain bike and explore a network of rural trails and gravel roads. Guided routes take you through small villages, farmland and forest tracks that climb and descend across the landscape. Depending on the route you’ll choose, the ride can be relaxed or more demanding, with steady climbs followed by long downhill sections.

Stops along the way allow you to take a break, refill water and observe daily life in the villages you’ll pass through. A guide can adjust the pace and distance to suit your level. It offers an active way to explore the terrain beyond the main town.

Spend time with the serene natural surroundings of Pokhara and focus on rest, outdoor activity and simple daily routines. Over several days, you’ll take part in guided walks, light outdoor activities and visits to nearby villages. The programme also allows time to relax, read or enjoy the landscape at your own pace. Meals are prepared using locally sourced ingredients and the schedule balances activity with time to pause during the day.

Guides introduce you to the area’s environment and rural life, offering context about farming and seasonal practices. The retreat is designed to help you slow down, spend time outdoors and reconnect with the landscape around you.

Take a boat out on Phewa Lake and explore one of the most recognised landmarks of Pokhara. Brightly painted wooden boats are available to rent, allowing you to move across the lake at your own pace. As you’ll row or sit back and enjoy the ride, the shoreline, forested hills and distant Himalayan peaks come into view. The lake is also a popular place for photographs, with many visitors stopping to capture the landscape and surrounding mountains.

You’ll head towards the centre of the lake or stay close to the shore. It is an easy outing that suits couples, families or small groups during the day.
