Overview

Quieter hotels, later starts and the parts of Nepal that reward sitting still: Pokhara by the lake, the ridge at Nagarkot for sunrise, and the old towns of the valley without a coach party in them.

Every departure is private and led by a government-licensed Nepali guide, so the plan flexes to your party and to the mountain. Permits, park fees and local taxes are inside the price you see.

Trip highlights

  • Lakeside Pokhara and Phewa lake

Day by day

The itinerary

  1. Day 1: Arrive at Tribhuwan International Airport, Kathmandu

    You may arrive at the airport at any time. Upon your arrival, you will be greeted and welcomed by one of representatives who will help you get transferred to the hotel and will
    explain further programs to you. You do not have anything planned for the day, thus you may just check into the hotel and relax for the remainder of time. Overnight stay at 5 star hotel in Kathmandu

  2. Day 2: Kathmandu City Tour and visit to Patan

    The Kathmandu city tour begins at 8:00 AM with a brief introductory meeting by our representative, who will also introduce the tour guide. Traveling by private vehicle, the tour will cover several significant sites.

    First, we'll visit Kathmandu Durbar Square, a World Heritage Site known for its medieval temples, wood carvings, and stone sculptures. Next, we'll head to Patan Durbar Square, featuring similar historical
    artistry and old palaces of the Malla and Shah Kings.

    The tour then moves to Pashupatinath Temple, a sacred Hindu site by the Bagmati River, where Hindu cremation ceremonies can sometimes be observed. We'll continue to Swayambhunath Stupa, or the
    "Monkey Temple," located atop a hill and famous for its resident monkeys.

    Lastly, we'll visit Bouddhanath Stupa, the largest Buddhist Mandala in the world and a major pilgrimage site. This tour provides deep insights into Nepal's religious and historical heritage through these
    UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

    Overnight stay at a 5-star hotel in Kathmandu. Breakfast Included.

  3. Day 3: Fly to Pokhara and Pokhara Sight-seeing Tour, Duration: 30 minutes flight

    From Kathmandu, you will take an early morning flight to the lake-side city of Pokhara, which takes about 30 minutes. Upon arrival, you will check in at your hotel before starting the city sightseeing tour at
    11:00 AM. The tour will include visits to several prominent places.

    First, you will visit the Bindabasini Temple, located in the old bazaar and dedicated to the Goddess Bhagwati. Next, you will see the famous Davis Fall, also known as Patale Chhango, on the southern flank
    of the Pokhara valley, where water cascades through numerous rocky gorges.

    Across from Davis Fall is the revered Gupteshwor Cave, a 3 km long cave with hall-sized rooms and narrow passages, where a phallic symbol of Lord Shiva is preserved. The tour will then take you to the
    Seti River Gorge, carved by the Seti-Gandaki River and considered one of Pokhara's natural wonders.

    Finally, you will enjoy boating on the tranquil Phewa Lake, the second largest lake in Nepal, with the Barahi Island Temple in its center. This two-storied pagoda, dedicated to the female force Shakti, offers
    reflections of Mount Machhapuchhre and the Annapurna range in its serene waters.

    Overnight at 5-star hotel in Pokhara. Breakfast included.

  4. Day 4: Fly back to Kathmandu, Duration: 30 minutes flight

    Today, you will depart Pokhara and fly to Kathmandu. Upon arrival in Kathmandu, you will be transferred to the hotel. You have the afternoon and the evening to stroll along the streets of Kathmandu for
    some last-minute shopping. At the end of the day, you will also be treated with a farewell dinner in a typical Nepalese restaurant with cultural performances.

    Overnight stay at a 5-star hotel in Kathmandu. Breakfast and Farewell Dinner Included.

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.
