  • Altitude: Pokhara is at a lower altitude than Kathmandu, so altitude sickness is generally not a concern. However, stay hydrated and avoid strenuous activities if you're not acclimatized.

  • Clothing: Dress in layers as the weather can vary, especially in the early mornings and evenings. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

  • Connectivity: Wi-Fi is available in most hotels and cafes in both Kathmandu and Pokhara, but connectivity might be slower in remote areas
