Welcome to Nepal! Upon your arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, our representative will receive you and escort you to your hotel in the heart of the city. After some rest and refreshments, enjoy a short walk through the vibrant streets of Thamel. You’ll receive a tour briefing in the evening, setting the tone for the adventure ahead.
After breakfast, we embark on a scenic drive westward to Bandipur, a beautifully preserved Newari settlement nestled on a ridge above the Marsyangdi River valley. The town’s cobbled streets, traditional architecture, and laid-back atmosphere offer a welcome break from the city. Spend the afternoon exploring its temples, viewpoints, and local markets. Overnight in a cozy heritage guesthouse.
We continue our journey with a short drive to Pokhara, Nepal’s adventure capital. After arriving and checking in, enjoy a relaxing boat ride across the calm waters of Phewa Lake, with the majestic Annapurna range mirrored in its surface. Visit the Barahi Temple located on a small island in the lake. Overnight in Pokhara, lakeside.
Today is dedicated to uncovering the cultural and natural highlights of Pokhara. We visit the International Mountain Museum, which showcases the stories of mountaineers and the Himalayas. Then, we descend into the mysterious Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave, witness the power of David’s Fall, and learn about Tibetan culture at a local refugee settlement. In the evening, take a peaceful lakeside stroll or sip tea with a mountain view.
A short morning flight brings us back to Kathmandu. Upon arrival, we drive directly to Bhaktapur, the ancient royal city known for its exquisite art, traditional lifestyle, and medieval architecture. Visit Bhaktapur Durbar Square, the Nyatapola Temple, Pottery Square, and other cultural gems that make this city a living museum. Return to Kathmandu in the late afternoon for your final evening in Nepal.
As your journey through central Nepal comes to an end, we’ll ensure a smooth transfer to the airport based on your flight time. Thank you for traveling with us—may the memories of peaceful lakes, timeless towns, and snowcapped peaks stay with you forever. Namaste and safe journey!
