Top 12 Sightseeing Tours in Pokhara

1.City Sightseeing Group Bus Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 37 reviews · 7 hours · from $8Our pick

See Pokhara’s major sights in about seven hours by shared bus, from the Pumdikot Shiva statue and World Peace Pagoda to Davis Falls, caves, Seti Gorge, Bindabasini Temple, and Phewa Lake. Pickup is available around Lakeside. Expect transport and timekeeping, but do not count on full sightseeing commentary.

“I had a lovely man greet me and wait for my bus. From there everything went downhill. I had, possible wrong, expectations that this was a bus a ‘tour’. However. no information about the sights was shared at all. We were simply dropped off to locations and told to be back by a certain time or the bus would leave. This needs to be advertised simply as a bus service.”

“This is the local city tour bus, where you won't find an English-speaking tour guide (for everyone else, it was priced at a third of what I paid as a solo traveler). Someone on the bus catered to the tourists from India and the couple from Kathmandu. I was the lone Westerner. Had it not been for the lovely couple from Katmandu, I would have been completely lost. Because of them, this tour was what it was; they took me under their wing. And by luck, it was a Hindu holiday, so some places were free, and it was festive as well.”
