Product Info

Primary Routes
There are three main ways to reach the summit by foot:
1. Boat & Hike (Most Popular): Take a boat from Lakeside to the base of the hill.
2. Raniban Forest Trail: Start from the Dam Side area, cross the Pardi Dam bridge, and hike
through the lush Raniban Nature Preserve (approx. 2 hours).
3. Chhorepatan Route: Walk or take a bus to Chhorepatan (near Devi's Fall) and follow the
paved road/trail up the hill (approx. 45 mins).

Begin your adventure with a scenic boat ride across Phewa Lake, taking in the serene beauty of the water and the surrounding landscapes. Disembark at the base of Anadu Hill and start your hike up the forested stone stairs.

As you ascend, enjoy the lush greenery and the sounds of nature. The hike is easy to moderate, with primarily steep stone steps through the forest. The hike itself takes 45 to 90 minutes from the lakeshore, while a full trip including boating takes about 3–4 hours.

Reach the World Peace Pagoda, perched at 1,100 meters, and be rewarded with one of the best 360-degree views of Phewa Lake, the Pokhara Valley, and the Annapurna range.

For those seeking an extended adventure, continue another 30–45 minutes uphill from the Peace Pagoda to the Pumdikot Shiva Statue. Standing at 1,500 meters, it features one of Nepal's tallest Shiva statues and even more elevated panoramic views.
