Many visitors combine a karaoke session with a night at Club 16, using karaoke as a fun warm-up activity before heading to Street 16 for dancing. The karaoke bars typically wind down around 11 PM, which is the perfect time to transition to Club 16's free-entry party that runs until 6 AM.
Karaoke is not about singing perfectly; it is about singing freely. In Pokhara, the mountains have heard it all, and they are still standing.
