About This Tour

The Pokhara Village Walk takes you away from the lakeside tourist area into the terraced hillsides where Gurung and Magar families live and farm. Over a few hours of gentle walking through rice paddies, vegetable gardens, and forest paths, you visit homes where families welcome you into their kitchens, share their daily routines, and show you the agriculture that sustains hill communities throughout Nepal.

A cooking demonstration with a local family is the centrepiece — learning to prepare dal bhat, sel roti, or other local dishes using ingredients from the kitchen garden. The walk returns to Pokhara by afternoon, leaving time for lakeside activities.
