Best of Nepal Tour

As you fly into Kathmandu on a clear day, you'll see the snow-covered mountain peaks below, creating a stunning view. This is just the start of a trip filled with unforgettable moments that will stay with you for a long time.

Our representative will meet you at the airport along with a driver to take you to your hotel in Thamel. After helping you check in, our staff will explain your schedule for the next 9 days. After that, you have the rest of the day to yourself. We recommend visiting Kathmandu Durbar Square, which is within walking distance from your hotel, and trying some Momo, a popular local dish.

After breakfast at the hotel, we'll take you on a full-day tour to see some of Kathmandu's most famous sites, including Pashupatinath Temple, Bouddhanath Stupa, Syambhunath Temple, and Patan Durbar Square. These places are all UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Pashupatinath Temple is a major Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva and is a popular pilgrimage site. Here, you can observe cremation ceremonies along the banks of the Bagmati River. Nearby is Bouddhanath Stupa, a large Buddhist stupa that provides a peaceful escape from the busy city.

In the afternoon, you'll visit Syambhunath, also known as the Monkey Temple due to the many monkeys that live there. It is one of the largest and holiest Buddhist temples in Nepal. Then, you'll go to Patan Durbar Square, located in the heart of Lalitpur. This historic square was once the royal palace of the Malla Kings of Lalitpur.

After a busy day of sightseeing in the Kathmandu Valley, we'll return you to your hotel. You can spend the rest of the evening relaxing or visiting some bars in Thamel.

After breakfast, we drive along the beautiful Trisuli and Marsyangdi Rivers on a winding road to reach Pokhara. It's a pleasant drive with occasional views of Ganesh Himal and Manaslu Peak. You will arrive in the city of lakes, Pokhara, after about 6 to 7 hours of driving.

Welcome to this charming town filled with peaceful lakes, making your vacation truly special. Pokhara is a tourist paradise with natural and cultural sites like lakes, caves, waterfalls, and Buddhist and Hindu temples, all set against the backdrop of lovely mountains. You can explore the Lakeside area, where you'll find many cafes, restaurants, pubs, bars, and clubs to relax and enjoy.

Today, we start early and drive to Sarangkot, a lovely hill known for its sunrise views of the Himalayas. From Sarangkot, you can see the Annapurna, Fishtail, and many other mountains as the sun rises. After enjoying breakfast at a restaurant in Sarangkot, we hike for about 3 hours on a flat path to Naudada. From there, we drive back to Pokhara, where you will have the rest of the day free to explore on your own.

After breakfast at your hotel in Pokhara, we take a boat across Phewa Lake and hike for an hour to the World Peace Pagoda. The views of the lake, the Himalayas, and Pokhara valley are even more amazing from the peaceful stupa. After spending some time at the stupa, we hike back down to Davis Falls and visit Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave. You have the rest of the afternoon free. You can rent a bicycle for a ride or relax at Lakeside.

After an early breakfast at your hotel in Pokhara, we drive to Sauraha, Chitwan. The drive takes about 5-6 hours along a beautiful route to Chitwan National Park. Once there, you'll check into a jungle lodge, take a short rest, and then go on a Tharu village tour in the evening. If there's enough time, we'll also visit the Elephant Breeding Center.

The next morning, you'll have breakfast at the jungle lodge while listening to the birds singing. Then, you'll head out for a full day of jungle activities. We start with a Jungle Walk, followed by a ride on an elephant through the jungle and across streams. You'll enjoy watching the elephants bathe and might spot some wildlife during the ride.

After lunch, you'll go on a Jungle Safari, which takes you deep into the forests of Chitwan National Park to see various birds and animals, including the One-horned Rhinos. In the evening, you'll enjoy a lively Tharu Cultural Stick Dance while having dinner.

After breakfast at the hotel, we will take you on an exciting bird-watching trip in the morning. After that, we drive you from Chitwan to Kathmandu, which takes about 5 to 6 hours. Once you check into your hotel in Kathmandu, the rest of the day is yours to spend as you like.

On your last day of the "Best of Nepal – 10 Days Tour," we make the most of it by taking you on a day trip to Bhaktapur. The main attractions in Bhaktapur are Bhaktapur Durbar Square, Nyatapol, Pottery Square, Siddha Pokhari, and Rani Pokhari.

Bhaktapur Durbar Square is famous for its rich historical features, including heritage monuments that tell the stories of this ancient kingdom. During the unification of Nepal, King Prithvi Narayan Shah attacked Bhaktapur Durbar, and you can still see bullet holes on the palace walls. King Prithvi eventually united Nepal, bringing together the always-at-war feudal states under one rule.

After exploring the history of Bhaktapur, we will drive you back to your hotel. Don't forget to try Ju Ju Dhau, a traditional Newari sweetened yogurt, while you're in Bhaktapur. We invite you to a farewell dinner on your last evening in Nepal. Let's celebrate the beauty of Nepal together.

On your final day, we'll take you to Kathmandu International Airport for your flight home or to your next destination. We hope you had a great time exploring Nepal's beauty and culture with us.

We're sure you'll treasure the memories of this trip and have many stories to share about your adventures in Nepal. We hope to see you again. Have a safe journey!
