Well,generally nowadays the service of Nepal Airlines has become worst then before and unfortunately it%26#39;s our country%26#39;s plane but still we have to write here the truth about it and it%26#39;s not so reliable airlines therefore use the other one call dragon air which is much more comfortable,reliable and punctual schedule from hongkong to kathamndu and hope up coming days this airlines will fly to nepal continuously.

In fact the capacity of domestic aircraft is maximum 16 pax and yeah it is smaller compare international airlines. And here you can find few airlines company such as Buddha Air,Yeti Air,Sita Air and Agni Air who has daily flight schedule from Kathmandu to Pokhara and among them Buddha and Yeti is pretty much more reliable but all airlines are same and cost as well and it%26#39;s just 28minute flight journey though.

If you are looking for clean and nice environment then try to find 3 or 4 star hotels either at kathmandu or at pokhara no problem but because of high quantity of tourist arrival here in Nepal you should make reserve in advance if not you may not get chance or contact at agent.

If you are searching for day or two days trekking spot then please do the hike near pokhara city which is call Dhampus/Sarankot which is exactly the amount of time that you have and depend on your time schedule that when you are heading to Nepal because if you travel to nepal this year or next year early like as feb,march,april are the best season and best scenery of panoramic view of all the annapurna himalayan ranges and other natures. Similarly, for day or two the huge backpack is not necessary and one small bag is enough for trek.

So,please write us your opinion and finally I would like to request all of the posters to have a read at least once about my note that have given to this person and hope you people won%26#39;t fine any spam advertise.Thank you

I second Nakul%26#39;s recommendation of Sarankot. The sunrise there is spectacular. I%26#39;ve not done that hike (was lazy and took a vehicle). :-) Although I did hike w/ a tour guide from Pokhara to Devi Falls.

There is certainly very nice, yet reasonably priced accommodation in Pokhara. My travel agent arranged the reservations for me at Hotel Bariha, which I loved and have reviewed on TA.

I flew Kathmandu to Pokhara via Yeti Airlines. I caught the flight the same morning after returning from the Buddha Air Flightseeing trip to see Everest.

No problems, and FANTASTIC views from the right side of the plane going to Pokhara.

I plan to return to Nepal in April and will coordinate w/ my same tour company for a several-day trek out of Pokhara.

I invite you to PM me if you%26#39;d like any more details.

Thank you to the 2 posters who have replied so informatively and pleasantly - you have given me exactly what I was looking for---regards
