What to do
A 3-hour round hike from old Pokhara Bazaar up through pine and rhododendron forest to the Kaskikot fortress ruins and viewpoint — the most underrated viewpoint in Pokhara, with Phewa Lake, the Seti river valley, and the full Annapurna–Machhapuchhre wall all visible from the top.
A 65 km loop from Lakeside up to Sarangkot, along the ridge road to Kaskikot, descend to old Pokhara Bazaar, continue to Begnas Lake, and return via the Prithvi Highway — a mix of forest ridge, lakeside road, and quiet Gurung village lanes, best done in the cool morning.
