A low-slung tourist coach eases out of Pokhara’s Tourist Bus Park with the Annapurna foothills shrinking in the rearview and the Terai plains unfurling ahead. Morning light hits the Phewa Lake side mirrors as the driver navigates rural highways; tea stalls, small farmed terraces and the occasional temple gate slide by, and the landscape gradually relaxes from terraced hills into broad, fertile plains.
