Tour Highlights

The Nepal Cultural Scenic gives a great journey to the heart of Nepal, designed and shows the delicate tapestry of history, spirituality, and fine natural landscapes. Going on ten days, this immersive tour starts at Kathmandu's vibrant capital city, where ancient history mixes with excellent life. On the busy streets, you will see a different set of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, like the iconic Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple), the grand Pashupatinath Temple, and the fine Patan Durbar Square. These landmarks are great architectural marvels and testimonies to Nepal's diverse cultural heritage and centuries-old great traditions. From the intricately carved wooden structures to great shrines and stupas, the experience also gives a deep dive into the artistic and religious essence of the great Kathmandu Valley. Engaging with the great local people, tasting traditional Nepali food, and seeing daily rituals provide rare insight into the rhythm of life at this historical spot.

After going and seeking the cultural wonders of Kathmandu, the journey continues to the great city of Pokhara, known for its calm lakes and fine mountain vistas. Boating at the crystal-clear waters for the ever-soothing Fewa and Begnas Lakes, you can also go up on the reflection at the majestic Annapurna range, a view that is nothing short of divine. From the fine beauty of Pokhara, the tour then changes to the lush plains of Chitwan, home to the great Chitwan National Park. Here, you will see the wildlife safaris to spot several plant and animal species, including the rare one-horned rhinoceros and solitary Bengal tiger. The adventure then leads to the Lumbini, the revered birthplace of Lord Buddha, where you can also explore the sacred gardens, ancient ruins, and several monasteries built by many countries, celebrating the great message of peace and enlightenment. As the journey finishes back at Kathmandu, you leave Nepal enriched with unforgettable memories, having experienced this beautiful hilly nation's great spirituality, natural beauty, and warm hospitality.
