Travel to Pokhara, either by a scenic drive (around 6 hours) or a short domestic flight (approximately 30 minutes). Pokhara is known for its stunning landscapes, tranquil lakes, and the towering Himalayas. After checking in, enjoy an evening boat ride on Phewa Lake, where you can relax and take in the serene views of the lake, surrounded by mountains.
