Go yourself in the magic of Nepal with our incredible journey at Kathmandu, Pokhara, and the great Chitwan. The adventure begins at the heart of Kathmandu, the thriving capital city that combines life and history. Go to the historic Durbar Square, where you can see the impressive old palaces and great carved temples adorned with several golden rooftops. As you go through the narrow backstreets adorned with fluttering prayer flags, you will encounter local markets busy with great produce and the alluring aroma of spices. A visit to Swayambhunath at the iconic hilltop temple gives fantastic panoramic views of the Kathmandu Valley and a great appreciation for the colourful culture, art, and architecture that make this city so captivating and great.
The journey continues as you arrive at Pokhara, an excellent lakeside haven at the majestic Annapurna peaks. After breakfast, you will visit the great and revered Bindhyabasini Temple, the challenging Seti Gorge, the enigmatic Gupteshwor Cave, and the great Devi's Fall. Embrace the calm atmosphere as you go on Phewa Lake, sample fresh berries through the local markets, and watch the sunset paint the sky shades of pink over the lake from nearby sacred Buddhist monasteries. Finish your Pokhara experience with a one-hour boat ride on Phewa Lake to visit the beautiful Tal Barahi Temple, soaking through the stunning scenery and relaxed mindset. Following your peaceful retreat around Pokhara, you will go on a five-hour drive south through the lush jungles of Chitwan National Park. Here, witness the majestic rhinos lounging through the muddy banks during peaceful canoe going through the twilight, and engage with the happy and elusive Tharu community over spiced herbal tea around a comfortable bonfire. As night falls, you can witness the famous Tharu Stick Dance performance against a stunning fine sunset backdrop, enriching your experience of Nepal's rich cultural tapestry. Your overnight stay in the wonderland Chitwan will prepare you for close encounters with Asia's extraordinary wildlife the next day, including visits to nearby villages and an introduction to the vibrant traditions of the indigenous Tharu people.
