It takes about 5 hours to reach Pokhara from Kathmandu. We can take a domestic flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara. The pagoda is 7 kilometers from Mahendrapool, the major business spot in Pokhara. There are several ways to reach the peace pagoda. There are hiking trails, cycling  tracks and the blacked topped road to the stupa. One popular and adventurous hiking trail is the crossing of Fewa Lake by a local boat and then climbing uphill through local villages which takes about an hour. The partial black-topped road from Chhorepatan to the stupa takes about 25 minutes, which can be reached by taxi or private car. Public transportation too is available to the stupa.
