Start before dawn at Sarangkot
Leave early to catch sunrise and avoid mid-morning crowds; visibility often drops later in the day due to haze or cloud.
Wear grippy shoes
Trails near waterfalls and pagoda steps can be wet and slippery—sturdy shoes reduce slip risk and make short hikes more comfortable.
Carry cash for small purchases
Many village stalls and small boat operators accept only Nepali rupees; bring small bills for tea, snacks, or tips.
Plan for changing weather
A compact rain jacket and layers are useful—Pokhara’s microclimate can shift from bright sun to showers within an hour.
Light hiking shoes
Provide traction on wet rocks, stairs, and short village trails.
Light rain shell
Protects against sudden monsoon showers common from June to September.
