Kathmandu to Kathmandu – 9 Days
Join the journey of a lifetime with Nepal Safari & Heritage Experience, a carefully crafted Nepal trip that takes you across this incredible Himalayan kingdom. From the bustling streets of Kathmandu to the peaceful landscapes of Pokhara and the wilds of Chitwan National Park, this tour promises an amazing experience filled with stunning scenery, unforgettable views, and rich cultural encounters. Explore the history and spirituality of ancient temples and stupas, see the mighty Everest in a once in a lifetime helicopter ride and see wildlife in their natural habitat.
Beyond the beaten track, the tour offers a glimpse into the lives of local communities, inviting you to step into the rhythms of Nepalese daily life. Discover the unique culture, breathtaking nature, and hidden gems that make Nepal truly special. Adventure seekers and culture lovers will find their calling as you walk through valleys, forests and mountains. Nepal Safari & Heritage Experience is not just a holiday; it’s a journey through the heart and soul of Nepal, memories that will last a lifetime—one of the best Nepal holidays you can experience.
CULTURAL EXPLORATION IN KATHMANDU VALLEY: Start your Nepal adventure exploring Kathmandu’s cultural fabric. Visit the historic Durbar Square, home to royal palaces and the Living Goddess. Climb to Swayambhunath Stupa—Monkey Temple—for stunning views and spiritual peace. This day introduces you to Nepal’s sacred heritage and traditions in the heart of the capital.
EVEREST BASE CAMP HELICOPTER TOUR: See Everest without the trek. Fly by helicopter to Everest Base Camp, followed by champagne breakfast with mountain views. In the afternoon, visit the spiritual landmarks of Boudhanath and Pashupatinath, see vibrant rituals and the presence of Nepal’s holy men.
CHITWAN NATIONAL PARK SAFARI: Get wild in Nepal at Chitwan National Park. Spot one-horned rhinos and Bengal tigers on 4x4 safaris, hike in the forest, meet the Tharu people. With nature walks, canoe rides and cultural visits, every moment here connects you to nature.
ADVENTURE IN POKHARA: Relax by Phewa Lake with views of Machapuchare Peak. Go for adventure—paragliding from Sarangkot, ultralight flights or white-water rafting. For a cultural fix visit Pokhara’s caves and mountain museums. This is where nature, adrenaline and culture meet in perfect harmony.
The difference with the Asian Geographical is, that each of our holidays is designed with extreme precision of a mountaineering expedition.

Explore Nepal’s landscapes, cultures and adventures on this 9 day trip. From Everest views and Chitwan safaris to cultural immersion in Kathmandu and adventure in Pokhara, this tour is the ultimate journey through Nepal.
Start your adventure in Kathmandu, the pulsating heart of Nepal. From the moment you land you’ll be treated like VIP as you’re picked up and taken to your hotel for some rest. Freshen up and then dive into the cultural richness of Kathmandu with an afternoon visit to the historic Durbar Square. This living museum showcases the architectural grandeur of four different kingdoms. See the Kumari Living Goddess Palace, home to the young girl who is revered as the earthly embodiment of the goddess Taleju. Then visit Swayambhunath Stupa, also known as the Monkey Temple, a sacred complex that dates back to the 5th century. Climb the 365 steps, each one a step towards your pilgrimage, and get lost in the spiritual atmosphere while the monkeys play around you.
Get the experience of a lifetime with a helicopter trip to Everest Base Camp, an adventure that brings you face to face with Everest without the months of trekking required. This day begins with a flight over the Himalayas, offering breathtaking views and culminates with a champagne breakfast at the highest peaks. The afternoon is for spiritual enrichment as you visit the sacred Boudhanath Stupa and Pashupatinath Temple, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. At Pashupatinath, see the rituals at the ghats along the river where life is celebrated. See the Sadhus, holy men who dedicate their lives to spiritual practice and rely on the kindness of others.
Drive or fly to the beautiful landscapes of Chitwan National Park and into the heart of Nepal’s wilderness. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Chitwan is home to some of the rarest and most majestic creatures on Earth, the one-horned rhino and the elusive royal Bengal tiger. Your afternoon starts with an open 4x4 safari guided by an expert naturalist to see these animals in their natural habitat. Also visit the Gharial crocodile breeding centre to learn about the conservation efforts for this critically endangered species.
Go deeper into the natural wonders of Chitwan with a guided nature walk along the riverbank where the forest and its avian inhabitants unfold before you. This day is an exploration of the ecosystem, guided by expert trackers who will reveal the hidden life in the grasslands. Do some fishing and canoeing in the floodplains to spot storks, kingfishers and the fishing cat. Beyond wildlife, visit a local Tharu village to meet the indigenous people who have lived in harmony with the forest for centuries.
Next stop Pokhara, a peaceful city by Phewa Lake and the starting point for treks in the Annapurna region. Upon arrival, a lake cruise awaits, offering serene views of the forested shores and Machapuchare Peak in the distance. Also visit Devi's Fall and Mahendra Cave, each with its own mystery and legend, for a mix of natural beauty and folklore.
For adventure, Pokhara has it all. Start your day with a paragliding experience from Sarangkot hill at sunrise, where the views of the Annapurna range and Phewa Lake are stunning. Alternatively, take an ultralight flight for an intimate view of the landscape. The adventurous can go white-water rafting while those who prefer solid ground can go for a nature walk and visit the International Mountain Museum, dedicated to the history of mountaineering and the Yeti, and the Gurkha Memorial Museum, celebrating the bravery of the Gurkhas.
Return to the Kathmandu Valley to experience its countryside charm, starting with the ancient city of Bhaktapur. Walk through Durbar Square, a masterpiece of medieval art and immerse yourself in the traditions that still exist in the city. See the traditional Newari attire and the craftsmanship that adorns the city. Your stay at Dwarika's Dhulikhel offers breathtaking views of the Himalayas and the essence of Nepalese hospitality and culture.
Relax in the Himalayas with a morning bike ride through the Kathmandu Valley, exploring its scenic routes, goempas and traditional villages. Visit the quaint town of Dhulikhel, a historic trading hub with Tibet and have a local lunch with mountain views. The afternoon is yours to relax or indulge in wellness activities at Dwarika's Dhulikhel, including salt-room bathing and yoga, to end your journey in Nepal.
Your day begins with an optional hilltop walk at sunrise and then breakfast. You have free time until your private transfer to the airport and depart with memories of a journey that has taken you through the spiritual, natural and cultural heart of Nepal.
This trip was inspired by Nepal’s unique ability to combine rich cultural heritage with wild natural beauty. We wanted to create a journey that would capture both – allow travellers to visit centuries old temples in Kathmandu, experience the serenity of the Himalayas and see the sacred rituals that still define Nepalese life today.
Just as compelling was Nepal’s lesser known but abundant wildlife. Chitwan National Park with its rhinos, tigers and river safaris provides a contrast to the mountain regions. We felt this balance of heritage and safari, culture and conservation needed a dedicated trip – one that would show Nepal is not just a trekking destination but a tapestry of different experiences.
Above all we designed this trip for those who want meaningful travel – people who want more than sightseeing. Whether it’s breakfast near Everest, walking with forest trackers or meeting the Tharu people, every element was chosen to give you an authentic and thoughtful connection with Nepal.
Our expedition's flexible approach allows us to adapt to new opportunities and conditions. We offer a range of activities from easy to moderate, tailored to your preference. Participants should be fit for activities such as walks, treks, and visits to cultural sites, with options for more strenuous hikes. Our trips are suitable for families.
ACCOMMODATIONS: Our tours feature the finest accommodations in each destination, from charming boutique hotels to cosy lodges, ensuring a comfortable stay with authentic cuisine. We carefully choose each location for its alignment with our itinerary and the activities planned, prioritising comfort and local experience.
TRANSPORTATION: All transportation for your tour is meticulously planned according to the itinerary. For personal explorations beyond the scheduled activities, your Expedition Leader is ready to suggest the best transportation choices, ensuring your travel within the tour is seamless and tailored to your interests.
