Before you go
Plan for clear skiesSkies are clearest after the monsoon, in October and November. Keep the Sarangkot sunrise for your clearest morning.
Agree boat and taxi faresSettle the price for a rowboat or taxi before you set off, and say how long you want.
Carry cashSmall shops, boats and taxis around the lakes usually want cash in rupees.
Expect heavy monsoon rainPokhara gets far more rain than Kathmandu from June to September, and clouds often hide the peaks.
