How to Get from Pokhara to Gyagya

Prepare for a long journey. The 415 km trip between Pokhara and Gya'gya requires some planning, but the scenic transitions make the long hours worthwhile. As you leave Pokhara, expect a scenic climb as you gain over 3649 meters in altitude. The landscape will dramatically shift from lush valleys to alpine environments. Overland bus travel is the standard mode of transport here, usually taking between 7.3 and 7.3 hours depending on road conditions. Tickets start from $11.

Advice: Keep a warm down jacket handy in your daypack, as the temperature will drop sharply as you gain high altitude.
