Nepal, where every nook & corner is blessed with captivating natural beauty and this tour covers two of its major destinations – Kathmandu & Pokhara. Nestled away in the lap of the Himalayas, Nepal is home to eight of the world’s tallest mountains – including Mount Everest – the world’s highest peak. The beautiful mountain nation has much to allure the tourists. Kathmandu, the capital city has many Buddhist Temples, shrouded in mystic aura. The ornate royal palaces and temples that are built in traditional pagoda style function as open administrative centres, thus, allowing tourists to explore their elegance.
Pokhara ticks all the right boxes, with spectacular scenery, adventure activities, and accommodation and food choices galore. The highlight of the town is its Lakeside, which is a boating paradise flanked with charming shops, dreamy cafés, restaurants and pubs that make up this postcard-perfect town.
For adventure enthusiasts, Pokhara is a popular starting point for many treks in the Annapurna Range as well as many paragliding and river rafting opportunities.
The city is a beautiful contrast of the bustling Lakeside Pokhara and Old Pokhara, which is home to many beautiful historical temples and is also the city’s commercial hub. Phewa Lake (or Phewa Tal), a spectacular lake that borders Lakeside Pokhara and Old Pokhara, it flawlessly reflects the mountains that border it, making it a breath-taking photo-op.
Another attraction of the tour is the Chitwan National Park. The park is rich in flora and fauna and has a fascinating variety of mammals and birds. The park preserves some of the last habitats for endangered species like the greater One-horned Rhinoceros and the Royal Bengal Tiger. The reserve was designated a national park in 1973 and was listed as a UNESCO world Heritage sites. Witness wilderness in its real form, and do it in style like the old-day Maharajas on elephant back to spot rhinos and deer, or go jeep safari in the depth of the forest to catch a glimpse of the elusive Bengal tiger. Another, exciting adventure is to go canoeing in the marshy Terai river amongst hundreds of marsh mugger crocodiles basking in the sun, waiting for their prey to fall in their mouths.

Within the city also lies the Tibetan refugee centre, home to most of the valley’s Tibetan population.
