Introduction

A warm welcome awaits you at Kathmandu airport where our tour representative will personally greet you. Experience seamless transfer to your chosen hotel. Discover Kathmandu, a city where ancient temples meet modern life, serving as both the cultural soul and administrative heart of Nepal. Today’s Kathmandu actually comprises two magnificent cities in one urban landscape – historic Patan and bustling Kathmandu. Enjoy a relaxed evening to acclimatize and explore nearby surroundings. Your tour representative will provide a detailed briefing about tomorrow’s adventures while you settle into your comfortable accommodation.

Begin your cultural odyssey with a morning visit to Nepal’s spiritual heart – Pashupatinath. Witness the profound devotion of holy saddhus in their sacred rituals. The magnificent Pashupatinath Temple, dedicated to Lord Pashupatinath, stands proudly on the serene banks of the Bagmati River, just 5 kilometres north-east of Kathmandu Valley in the eastern realm of Kathmandu, Nepal’s vibrant capital. This revered temple holds immense significance in Hindu faith. As the seat of Nepal’s national deity, Lord Pashupatinath, this sacred complex has earned its place among UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 1979. Marvel at this “extensive Hindu temple precinct,” where centuries of devotion have created a mesmerizing collection of temples, ashrams, statues and ancient inscriptions along the holy Bagmati river. Next, journey to Bouddhanath, Nepal’s most significant Buddhist sanctuary, where a majestic stupa draws pilgrims from across the Buddhist world. Following these spiritual encounters, discover Patan – also known as Lalitpur. This “City of Beauty” lies across the Bagmati River from Kathmandu, standing as the valley’s second-largest urban jewel. Lalitpur’s distinct character emerges through its extraordinary collection of architectural masterpieces. Within its heart, Patan’s Durbar Square showcases an unrivaled density of temples, creating an architectural marvel unlike anything in Kathmandu or Bhaktapur. Explore the vibrant Tibetan refugee center, where the valley’s Tibetan community has transformed their traditional skills into a thriving carpet industry. For authentic Tibetan carpets, this becomes your ultimate shopping destination. Conclude your day at Swayambhunath, where a golden spire crowned with colorful prayer flags rises from the 5th-century stupa. Perched majestically overlooking Kathmandu Valley, it offers spectacular city panoramas. This iconic symbol of Nepal features Buddha’s watchful eyes overlooking all who ascend its timeworn stone steps. (Tour duration: Maximum 06 hours from vehicle’s hotel arrival)

 Set out on a picturesque journey to Pokhara, a scenic route stretching 210 kilometers through Nepal’s diverse landscape. This approximately 7-hour drive offers glimpses of terraced hillsides, traditional villages, and winding rivers. Upon reaching Pokhara town, positioned at an elevation of 2,352 feet, you’ll be welcomed by breathtaking mountain vistas visible directly from your hotel during clear weather. During this journey, enhance your adventure with two enticing optional experiences: feel the rush of adrenaline with an exhilarating river rafting expedition (additional charge of Inr 2000 nett per person) or ascend to the sacred Manakamna Temple, revered as the “Goddess of Fulfilling Wishes,” via a spectacular 10-minute cable car ride that offers panoramic valley views (supplementary cost of Inr 550 nett per person). Your day concludes with a peaceful overnight stay at your carefully selected hotel.

Embrace the early morning with an unforgettable excursion to Sarangkot, a coveted destination that rewards visitors with unparalleled views of both the Pokhara Valley and the majestic mountain panorama. Located just 13 kilometers from Pokhara’s serene Lake Side, Sarangkot stands as the region’s premier sunrise viewpoint at an elevation of 1592m. The refreshing mountain air here provides a welcoming contrast to Pokhara’s warmer climate. A comfortable 45 to 60-minute scenic drive transports you to the summit, where photographers and nature enthusiasts gather to capture the magnificent sunrise before descending. From this strategic vantage point, the northern horizon reveals the magnificent Dhaulagiri in the distant west, while the Annapurna range emerges in all its glory on clear days. Looking southward, you’ll be treated to sweeping views of Pokhara city and its tranquil lake from the north-western outskirts. (Morning excursion duration: Maximum 03 hours from vehicle’s hotel arrival)

Your afternoon unfolds with a visit to the historic Bindebasini Temple, a spiritual landmark that stands as one of Pokhara’s oldest sanctuaries and was an integral part of the Kaski Kingdom. The temple’s principal deity, Goddess Durga, made her sacred journey from India to grace this location. Beyond its spiritual significance, the temple grounds offer more than just religious solace – on clear days, visitors are treated to stunning views of the Himalayan range. Its strategic location in the heart of the old bazaar creates a perfect opportunity to combine spiritual exploration with cultural immersion in the local market. Continue your journey to Devi’s fall, locally known as Patale Chango, an impressive waterfall located 2 kilometers southwest of Pokhara. During the summer and monsoon seasons, this natural wonder transforms into a spectacular display of nature’s power, with water cascading dramatically through ancient rock formations. Just across the road, explore the mysterious Gupteshwor Cave, renowned for its fascinating natural limestone formations that have been shaped over centuries. Please note that photography is strictly prohibited within the cave to preserve its natural sanctity. Return to your hotel for a peaceful overnight stay. (Afternoon sightseeing duration: Maximum 03 hours from vehicle’s hotel arrival)

Begin your journey back to Kathmandu before embarking on the next leg of your adventure to Nagarkot. Situated 32 kilometers east of Kathmandu and requiring a 1.5-hour drive, Nagarkot sits proudly at an elevation of 2,175 meters above sea level. This celebrated destination has earned its reputation as one of Nepal’s premier viewpoints, offering spellbinding panoramic vistas of major peaks, including the world’s highest mountain, Mt. Everest. The location has become legendary among photographers and nature enthusiasts for its mesmerizing sunrise and sunset views, where the sun’s rays paint the Himalayan peaks in a spectacular array of colors. Settle into your hotel for an overnight stay, anticipating the natural spectacle that awaits you.

Your Nepal journey concludes with a direct 1.5-hour transfer to the airport from Nagarkot. As you descend from the heights of Nagarkot, reflect on the memories of ancient temples, majestic mountains, and warm Nepalese hospitality that have defined your journey through this remarkable country. Arrive at the airport in plenty of time for your onward flight, carrying with you unforgettable impressions of Nepal’s cultural and natural wonders.
