Adventure Activities in Pokhara

Go Thrill in Pokhara – Adventure Activities

Pokhara is Nepal's adventure capital – a city that combines one of the world's most beautiful mountain lake settings with the finest concentration of adventure activities in South Asia. The combination of Phewa Lake, the full Annapurna range 28km to the north and the dramatic terrain of the surrounding hills creates ideal conditions for paragliding, zip flying, ultralight gliding, white-water rafting, mountain biking, kayaking and short Himalayan hiking – all within 45 minutes of the lakeside promenade.

Paragliding from Sarangkot: Tandem paragliding from 1,592m with the Annapurna range visible throughout – one of the world's top paragliding experiences. Zip flying: The world's steepest, longest zip line – 1.8km, 120mph descent with Himalayan views. Ultralight flying: 30-minute microlight scenic flight from Pokhara Airport over the valley and toward the Annapurna range. Seti River rafting: Half or full-day white-water rafting through the dramatic Seti gorge – grade II–III, suitable for all. Phewa Lake kayaking: Self-guided or guided kayaking on the calm lake with mountain reflections. Mountain biking: Trail and road rides in the Pokhara Valley and Annapurna foothills. Sarangkot hike: 2–3 hour guided hike to the finest mountain viewpoint above Pokhara. All activities can be combined in a full Pokhara adventure day programme.
