About
Verwaltungsbezirk in der Gandaki-Provinz im Westen Nepals, Heimat der beliebten Touristenstadt Pokhara und Tor zum Annapurna-Gebirge.
Kaski District lies in western Nepal, within Gandaki Province. It is an administrative district, and most visitors come to it for one reason: it is the home of Pokhara, the country's well-known tourist city, and the gateway to the Annapurna mountain range.
What the district offers
- Pokhara as a base. The city serves as the usual starting point for travellers exploring the area, with places to stay, eat and plan onward trips.
- Access to the Annapurna range. Because the district opens onto these mountains, many visitors use it as their point of departure for trekking and mountain views.
- A varied area to explore. Beyond the city, the district is a setting for outdoor activity and time in the countryside around the mountains.
Planning a visit
Kaski suits travellers who want a relaxed, well-served base in the Himalayan foothills, as well as those headed further into the mountains. Pokhara is the easiest place to begin, and the surrounding district is worth a few days if you want to combine town life with the landscape. Check current conditions and transport before you set out, as these can change from season to season.
