Evening
While nightlife in Pokhara is relatively different from what you can expect to find in other cities, there are still many pleasant things to do in the evening. Along the Lakeside Road, you can find an array of local shops selling a plethora of exquisite souvenirs—traditional Nepalese dress, Thangka paintings, Ghorka Knives, Nepali famous teas, singing bowls, Tibetan rugs, and jewellery. As a cold climate country, Nepal offers tons of warm clothing made from the country’s famous yak's wool. From scarves, Pashmina to shawl and ponchos, all items come in cosy fabrics and bright colours.
Elsewhere, there are no better gifts than delicious food and Pokhara is a small haven for them. If you’re into Nepal’s warm beverages, don’t forget to stop by and look for their Nepali teas (black, white, and oolong) and Himalayan coffees. Many visitors also like to hunt for Himalayan pink salt and exotic spices, such as cinnamon sticks, cloves, anise, and saffron, all organic and with modest price tags.
As the day comes to an end, you will realise that 24 hours isn’t enough to explore this heaven on earth and will long to return once you reach home. But, don’t worry, you can always repeat the things on this list or have your own new adventures in the sweet little lake town called Pokhara.
