On the Roads of Nepal

Flight to Nepal. Arrival formalities upon landing and transfer arrangements according to your schedule.

After breakfast, the day is dedicated to exploring some of the most sacred and historic sites of the Kathmandu Valley. You begin at Pashupatinath, Nepal’s most important Hindu temple, located along the banks of the holy Bagmati River. With its golden roof and richly carved architecture, the temple is a major pilgrimage site, especially during the festival of Maha Shivaratri. While non Hindus cannot enter the inner sanctuary, the rituals and cremation ceremonies can be respectfully observed from the opposite riverbank. The journey continues to Boudhanath, one of the largest Buddhist stupas in the world. Rising 36 meters high, this immense structure is the spiritual heart of Tibetan Buddhism in Nepal. Pilgrims circle the stupa with prayer wheels and murmured mantras, creating a powerful and serene atmosphere. Later, you visit Patan, often called the City of Beauty. This former royal capital is renowned for its refined art and architecture. Temples, monasteries, courtyards, and the Royal Palace reflect centuries of Newar craftsmanship and devotion. After a day rich in history and spirituality, you return to the hotel for the night.

This full day is devoted to further exploration of Chitwan National Park. Guided activities continue, offering more opportunities to encounter wildlife and learn about the ecosystem of the Terai region. Between excursions, there is time to relax and enjoy the natural setting. The sounds of the jungle, especially in the early morning and late afternoon, create a truly immersive experience. Overnight at the hotel.

Before sunrise, you travel to Sarangkot, a hilltop viewpoint overlooking the Pokhara Valley. From here, weather permitting, you witness the sun rising over the Himalayas, illuminating peaks such as Annapurna and Machhapuchhre. The calm of the early morning, combined with a warm cup of tea or coffee at a local spot, makes this moment unforgettable. After returning to the hotel for breakfast, you explore Pokhara, which is traditionally divided into three main areas: the old bazaar, the airport district, and the lively lakeside neighborhood of Baidam. Later, you enjoy a boat ride on Phewa Lake, where reflections of the mountains shimmer on the water. In the middle of the lake stands the Barahi Temple, dedicated to a manifestation of the goddess Kali and accessible only by boat. The evening is free to enjoy the relaxed lakeside ambiance. Overnight at the hotel.

After breakfast, transfer to Tribhuvan International Airport according to your flight schedule for your onward journey. This marks the end of a diverse and enriching journey through Nepal’s cultural heart, wild jungles, and Himalayan landscapes.
