Hemjakot Village Hike – Trip Overview

Hemjakot Village is perfect for a one-day hike around Pokhara. Just 9.5 km north of Pokhara, Hemjakot is a very clean, quiet, and pleasant settlement. Resting on the foothills of the mighty Annapurna South and Macchapuchre “Fishtail” mountains, you can adore the beauty of these snow-capped peaks like never before. The locals of the Hemkajot village are warm and welcoming and will shower you with garlands and tikas as greetings.

Situated just outside the cluttered city of Pokhara, this rural heartland is filled with the traditional Nepali homes, corns hanging on ceilings, the aroma of traditional oak oozing from the fireplace, and cheery traditional Nepali homes that stand on the terrace rows welcoming you into the land of the Himalayas. With the long stretches of rice and paddy field bumping against the glistening snowcapped Himalayas, Hemjakot is a place where life is designed around agriculture. The people of Hemjakot  have farmed this land for hundreds of years

Still untouched by modernity, people over Hemjakot have their own culture and lifestyle distinct from that of the city. With its surrounding jungles, lush greenery, and the mighty Annapurna smiling right in front of your eyes, Hemajakot village is a place where you’d imagine nirvana to be like.
