in Pokhara
Lakeside paradise beneath the Annapurna massif, where tandem paragliding, Himalayan sunrises, and laid-back backpacker culture meet at 800 metres.
Travel better in Pokhara with the right person
Split costs
A solo traveller in Pokhara spends about ~$15–35 USD a day. Accommodation, transport, guided tours and day trips all cost less split two ways.
Stay safer
A travel companion means someone knows your plans, can help navigate emergencies, and makes you less of a target in unfamiliar areas of Pokhara.
Go deeper
The best experiences in Pokhara (the off-menu restaurant, the dawn hike, the local's favourite spot) are found with a curious companion, not a guidebook.
Matched by style
Roammate filters by travel pace, budget range, and interests, so you connect with someone genuinely compatible, not just whoever's in the same hostel dorm.

If someone makes you uncomfortable, report or block them at any point, before or after you have arranged anything.

Worth agreeing on before you meet
Gurung & Magar Heritage
Pokhara's surrounding hills are home to Gurung and Magar communities, the ethnic groups from which the famous Gurkha soldiers are drawn. Their culture is distinct from Kathmandu's Newari traditions. Show respect for local customs, especially in villages outside Lakeside.
Respect the Lake
Phewa Lake is sacred to locals and provides water and livelihoods. Do not litter on or around the lake, and dispose of waste properly. Support community clean-up efforts that maintain the lake's beauty for everyone.
Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the Pokhara travel guide.
