Thak Danda

Quick Thak Dada Trip

By Sonaam Hitang

About a 45-minute bike ride from Mahendrapul takes you to Sacred Hill/Thak Dada, located on the way to Sikles. The road is gravelled, dusty, and has a few collapsed sections, so you’ll need to ride carefully. Once there, the views are incredible—Lamjung Himal stands tall, and Machhapuchhre looks like a perfect pyramid. It’s a peaceful spot and a great quick escape from Pokhara.

The road (pokhara to sikles) really has to be improved.
