Trip Overview

Experience the breathtaking journey with our Kathmandu to Pokhara Drop by Car, which offers a comfortable and convenient way to travel between these two vibrant cities. Given one of Nepal's most scenic and popular routes, the drive becomes even more enriching with a stop at the Manakamana Temple. As you traverse the scenic route, you'll be surrounded by majestic, lush green hills and serene rivers. Our journey along the Prithvi Highway, approximately 200 kilometres long, takes about 6-7 hours, depending on traffic and your desired stops. Relax and enjoy the breathtaking views of the Himalayan mountains, rural landscapes, and charming villages that dot the way.

A highlight of this package is the visit to the Manakamana Temple, situated in the Gorkha district. This sacred site, accessible via a thrilling cable car ride, is revered for the goddess Bhagwati, who is believed to grant the wishes of her devotees. The temple visit not only adds a spiritual dimension to the journey but also offers breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and valleys. The cable car ride itself is an adventure, providing a bird’s-eye view of the lush green landscape and the Trishuli River far below. 

This private car service provides a convenient and comfortable travel option compared to public transportation. You have the flexibility to travel at your own pace, stopping at interesting spots along the way to capture pictures or grab a bite to eat. Our well-maintained, comfortable vehicles and professional drivers ensure a smooth and enjoyable ride, allowing you to fully appreciate the natural wonders of Nepal. Whether you're travelling for business or leisure, our service guarantees a hassle-free and memorable trip between these two iconic cities.
