Day 1

On 30th December 2019, me and my dearest headed to Pokhara on a night bus at 6:30 PM.

We reached Gangabu bus park early at 3 PM because there were no chances to get tickets. Winter season was already started in Nepal so I was full of layers. It was a kind of wonderful cold.

From Kathmandu to Pokhara it takes approx. 8hrs only. We reached nearly 3 AM. To be honest, I have been Pokhara more than 5 times, so I didn't book any hotels for us.

I was confident that we will get good hotels during the New Year but 2019 was unexpected. Somehow we managed the hotel for us.

However, I suggested you to book a hotel before 10 days with payments. Because we want a relaxful environment without any tension.

We stayed near lakeside in Pokhara. As we know Lakeside is a mesmerizing place to chill.

We were little tired of arranging hotels and sleepless night during the bus journey. We had planned for New Year's Eve so in the day time we spent at lakeside. The weather was warm and so refreshing. We had an amazing time.

We had food. Trust me, you will get an amazing restaurant near the lakeside.

So, we stroll here and there till evening. We booked our hotel in the main center of lakeside which makes it so easy to roaming around.
