Lake-to-Lake Gravel Adventure
85 km + elevation
The Lake-to-Lake route is Pokhara’s ultimate gravel circuit, a 2-day journey linking the city’s most beautiful lakes, from Phewa’s shimmering waters to the quiet mirror of Rupa and Begnas. This ride captures the full spirit of the valley, rolling past terraced hillsides, bamboo groves, and sleepy fishing villages with the Annapurnas always in view. Each lake tells its own story, from sacred legends to local livelihoods, and the trail that joins them is a living line through Pokhara’s heart.
The terrain is a mix of paved stretches, packed gravel and backroad singletrack, perfect for those who love variety and real-world adventure. You’ll pedal through lush farmland, tea stops, and sections of quiet forest before resting lakeside with a cold drink and mountain reflections on the water. Whether you’re new to gravel or chasing an endurance ride with local flavor, this 85 km circuit delivers two perfect days of scenery, flow and connection.
Nature, Culture & Lifestyle Gravel Ride
30 km | +600 elevation
This one-day ride packs Pokhara’s essence into a single loop, nature, culture, and adventure flowing together. Starting from Lakeside, you’ll pedal past fishing villages and farm fields, climb toward Chapakot and Tarabhir for sweeping views, and wind through peaceful countryside trails where daily life moves at a slower pace. It’s the perfect way to trade city buzz for open air, connect with local rhythms, and see a side of Pokhara few tourists ever reach.
The route blends gentle lakeside warm-ups with punchy climbs and rolling ridgelines. Gravel roads lead through bamboo groves and forest patches before the final descent to the iconic World Peace Stupa and back to town. Along the way, there’s time for chai, photos, and the satisfaction of earning every view. A compact adventure that feels far bigger than a day.
