another way you can take Local Bus to sonauli from Pokhara & then other bus to gorakhpur
If you want to break the journey , it takes you two day to come to gorakhpur. other wise you can get to Gorakhpur on the same day
pls write to me if you like more infos

There's a small (really small) island in the middle of the lake where a family sell soft drinks to boaters. It's not obvious that there's anyone there, but on a hot day you need a drink by the time you've rowed that far so it's worth knowing about!
Chat is Indian snacks, and it's a big hit among Pokhara's many Indian visitors.
Some of it definitely an aquired taste, most of it good, chat is available in profusion near the ghat and boat hire place for the Barahi temple.
To the far west, seen from Sarangot, you can see Dhaulagiri mountain. At 8000 + meters it is one of the most impressive mountains in Nepal, standing almost isolated.
Poon Hill of course offers a much better view, but this is as good as you can get it easy distance from Pokhara one early morning.
At an altitude of 1592m (5500ft), this mountainside village lies to the north-west of Pokhara, a 2hour trek or a 45 min taxi/scooter ride away. It is best known for its panoramic views of the Annapurna range, which many people come to see at sunrise. Sadly it was very cloudy the day we went up to the top of Sarangkot, but the views were stunning nonetheless - we just caught only glimpses of Machhapuchhare through the clouds!
The best viewpoint is from the hill fort right at the top - you'll have to leave your transportation just below the village if you've come by car or scooter, and walk up through the houses and paddy fields of the village to get to it. Entry fee is 25NPR (which goes to conservation of the area according to the ticket) - the tower is a still occupied by the military, but walk around and you'll see a viewing platform. On the way out there is a small temple too (3rd photo).
Anyone trekking the Annapurna Circuit ends up in Pokhara, and it’s a nice place to stay even if you’re not trekking. Lakeside is relaxed, pretty, and set up for tourists – plenty of restaurants, lodging, rental bikes and every kind of outdoors activity, and as many souvenirs as you could ever want.
I was only here overnight, but did try paragliding (and so saw Pokhara from above), and went with a local to find a non-souvenir drum (and so saw other parts of the city). The rest of Pokhara didn’t look like anything special, but it’s not bad. It’s spread out across a big area, has the regular assortment of shops and markets, and the occasional glimpse of Machhapuchhre over the rooftops.
