More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
An hour’s drive north of Pokhara, the Bhujung River cuts a cold, precise seam through terraced hills. Mist lifts off riffles that push and pull, daring you closer; the farm’s concrete channels and wooden pens channel that waterfall-fed water into neat runs where fat trout hold in the current. Guides meet you at a low gate, lead a short walk through the pens and finish at a simple table where grilled trout arrives still steaming.
