In terms of the flight distance, Kathmandu and Pokhara are about 147 km (91 miles) away from each other. Alternatively, owing to the turns between the hills, you will need to drive about 200 km (approximately 125 miles) if you take the road.<\/span><\/p>\n

For more curious travelers, you start from Kathmandu from where you travel to Dhading, the neighboring district of the capital. After that, you touch traces of Chitwan (where the Chitwan National Park is located), and Gorkha (the birthplace of the Great Late King Prithivi Narayan Shah, who unified Nepal). Then you travel through Tanahun. Finally, you reach Kaski district, where the city of Pokhara is located. <\/span>Many people get confused that Pokhara is a district- it is not.
