8 Reasons Why Pokhara is the Perfect Honeymoon Destination

With surreal landscapes, scenic lakes, and lush green hills, Pokhara sets the perfect base for a leisurely romantic holiday in the heart of the Himalayas. Providing a magical canvas for you and your loved one to soak in romance, here are the top eight reasons why Pokhara hits the high notes when it comes to the perfect honeymoon destinations in the world.

1. You can Steal Romantic Glances on a Joyride across the Forest-fringed Lake Phewa

The second largest lake in Nepal, Lake Phewa is an idyllic destination for couples looking to soak in the raw beauty of Mother Nature in Pokhara. While boating across the lake would be a feast for your senses, the crystal-clear water surface reflecting the Annapurna range and the Machchapuchhare peak on sunny days makes for a visual extravaganza.

While here, make your way to the pagoda-style Barahi Mandir located at the centre of the lake and seek blessings from the reigning deity, Lord Vishnu. Ideal for visiting in the afternoons or early evenings, the lake usually remains shrouded in mist in the mornings and late evenings, when you can lounge by the lake and sip on some warm chai!

2. You’ll Love Chasing Romantic Sunsets at Sarangkot

Commanding rooftop views of the Himalayas, Sarangkot is a short trek away from Pokhara. While the magnificent Himalayan sunsets colour the snow-capped peaks in dazzling orange, you’ll enjoy basking under the fantastic surroundings with your better half. Add to that, the charm of trekking through the narrow mountainous roads, and you’ll be all set for a memorable daycation in Pokhara.

We suggest an overnight stay at any of the charming accommodations here so you catch an incredible sunrise!

3. Say Yes to an Epic Selfie with your Partner while Paragliding from Sarangkot to Lake Phewa

Not for the faint-hearted, paragliding from Sarangkot to Lake Phewa would be the highlight of your trip in Pokhara. With stunning vistas waiting to delight you, an #AdventureShot in the sky would make for a memorable honeymoon frame to put up in your living room, later. You can choose from tandem flights to solo pursuits while paragliding in Pokhara, which provides some of the best thermals with its low lying valleys and icy mountain ranges.

And the best part would be the gradual transformation of the landscape from snow-capped peaks to cobalt-blue waters here!

4. You Both Will Adore the Jungle Touch to Your Trip at Chitwan National Park

Ditch the regular candlelight dinners for an exciting romantic meal amid flourishing wildlife at Chitwan National Park in Nepal. Your partner will thank you for the refreshing experience for sure! Home to conserved species of rhinoceros and herds of elephants, the national park delights with 68 species of mammals and about 544 species of birds. Sounds epic, right? Oh! And if you’re lucky, you can also catch a glimpse of the elusive Bengal Tiger.

With ample opportunities to catch the diverse wildlife in action, Chitwan National Park provides that perfect edge to your honeymoon diaries in Pokhara.
