Overview
Five days for two, with nothing to organise. A private guide takes you round the old royal squares of Kathmandu and Patan, Pashupatinath on the Bagmati, and the stupas at Swayambhunath and Boudhanath. Then a short flight to Pokhara for Davis Falls, the Seti gorge and a boat out to the island temple on Phewa Lake, with the Annapurnas behind it on a clear day.
You sleep in five star hotels with breakfast every morning, a private car handles every transfer, and the last evening is a farewell dinner with a cultural show. It is a city and lake trip with no trekking, so it suits any fitness level. Want a sunrise at Nagarkot or two nights in Chitwan as well? We can add either and quote the extra nights.
Every departure is private and led by a government-licensed Nepali guide, so the plan flexes to your pace. Entry fees and local taxes are inside the price you see.

Day by day
The itinerary
-
Day 1: Arrive in Kathmandu 1,400 m Hotel (5-star) Notincluded
Our representative meets you at Tribhuvan International Airport and drives you to your hotel. Nothing else is planned, so rest after the flight. We go through the plan for the coming days with you at the hotel.
-
Day 2: Kathmandu and Patan heritage tour 1,400 m Hotel (5-star) B
Your guide meets you at 8 am and the day runs by private car. Kathmandu Durbar Square, with its temples, carved windows and the old royal palace. Patan Durbar Square across the river, with the stone Krishna Mandir and the Patan Museum. Pashupatinath, Nepal's holiest Hindu temple, where cremations take place on the ghats of the Bagmati. Swayambhunath on its hilltop, known for its monkeys and the view over the valley. And Boudhanath, one of the largest stupas in the world and the heart of Tibetan Buddhist life in Kathmandu. All five belong to the Kathmandu Valley UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a full day, so your guide sets the order around traffic and your energy.
-
Day 3: Fly to Pokhara, sightseeing and a boat on Phewa Lake 820 m Hotel (5-star) B
An early flight of about 25 minutes takes you to Pokhara, with the Annapurnas off the right side of the plane in clear weather. After checking in, the tour starts late morning: Bindhyabasini Temple in the old bazaar, Davis Falls (Patale Chhango), where the stream drops into a gorge and disappears underground, Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave across the road, and the narrow Seti River gorge. You finish on Phewa Lake, Nepal's second largest lake, with a boat across to the two-tiered Tal Barahi temple on its island and Machhapuchhre reflected in the water on a still, clear day.
-
Day 4: Fly back to Kathmandu, farewell dinner 1,400 m Hotel (5-star) B/D
A morning flight back to Kathmandu and a transfer to your hotel. The afternoon is yours for Thamel, Asan market or a slow coffee. In the evening we take you to a Nepali restaurant for a farewell dinner with a cultural dance show.
-
Day 5: Departure 1,400 m B
Breakfast at the hotel, and our driver collects you about three hours before your flight for the transfer to the airport.

Know before you go
Suitability & requirements
Kathmandu to Pokhara flights take about 25 minutes and are usually reliable, but weather does delay them, mostly in the monsoon. If a flight is cancelled the fallback is the road, six to seven hours. Mountain views from Pokhara and the plane are best from October to May; from June to August the peaks are often in cloud, though the cities and the lake are lovely in the green season. Domestic flights allow around 20 kg of checked luggage each.

Group-size pricing
Walk together, pay less
Every trip is private, so the guide, permits and transfers cost the same however many walk. Sharing them is why the per-person price falls: arithmetic, not a sale.

|---|---|---|
| 1 traveller | $1,075.00 | base rate |
| 2 to 3 travellers | $895.00 | $180.00 |

| 7 or more | $790.00 | $285.00 |
Per person, including permits, park fees and taxes. Nothing is added at checkout.
Weather
What to expect, month by month
- Autumn (Sep–Nov)The most reliable trekking season: clear air, stable weather and cold nights, right after the monsoon clears.
- Monsoon (Jun–Aug)Wet and cloudy on most routes, though Mustang and Dolpo sit in the rain shadow behind the main range and stay walkable.
- Spring (Mar–May)Warmer than autumn, with rhododendron forests in flower and slightly hazier mountain views as the season goes on.
- Winter (Dec–Feb)Cold and quiet, with the clearest skies of the year at lower altitude. High passes and very high routes are best avoided.
