After the temple visit, we'll take the boat to the other Shore of Phewa Lake and begin our ascent to the World Peace Pagoda. On clear days, you can enjoy stunning views of the Annapurna massif, including Annapurna 1 (8,091 m) and Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), and the sacred Machhapuchre (6,997 m). Our walk will take us past quaint settlements and through lush, shady forests. After approximately 1 hour, we'll reach the World Peace Pagoda.

This Buddhist monument, located at an elevation of 1,100 m, offers a breathtaking view of the Himalayan range, Phewa Lake, and the city of Pokhara from the top of Ananda Hill. Take a moment to soak in the serene atmosphere and appreciate the beauty of this special place. Our visit here will last approximately 30 minutes.
