Natural Beauty in Pokhara

From Kathmandu, your journey continues to Pokhara, known as the “City of Lakes.” This peaceful haven is surrounded by towering peaks and shimmering waters. Wake early for a stunning sunrise from Sarangkot Hill (1,600 m), where the Annapurna Range glows golden. Later, enjoy a tranquil boat ride on Phewa Lake, all while soaking in Pokhara’s laid-back charm and majestic Himalayan views.

Rural Charm of Bandipur

After Pokhara, the tour leads you to Bandipur, a serene hilltop town at 1,030 m, untouched by time. With its preserved Newar architecture, cobblestone paths, and Himalayan views, Bandipur offers an authentic look at traditional Nepalese life. Here, you’ll experience rural charm and slow-paced living, ideal for cultural immersion and relaxation.

Wildlife Adventure in Chitwan

Next, the Nepal Highlight Tour heads to Chitwan National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Embark on a thrilling jeep safari to spot rhinos, deer, and, with luck, a Bengal tiger. Glide down the Rapti River in a canoe and visit the Elephant Breeding Centre. In the evening, enjoy a lively Tharu cultural show, adding a local flavor to your jungle adventure.

Spiritual Journey to Lumbini

Continue your spiritual exploration in Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Buddha. The peaceful monastic gardens, sacred Maya Devi Temple, and historic Ashoka Pillar make this a profound stop. Whether you’re spiritual or simply curious, Lumbini’s atmosphere invites quiet reflection.
