Arrive in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal and immerse yourself in its culture and history. Start your journey by walking the backstreets of Old Kathmandu with your guide. Visit the artisans’ workshops and traditional markets and see the daily rituals at active Buddhist and Hindu temples. See the UNESCO World Heritage sites that dot the city and its surroundings. Experience the spiritual atmosphere of Boudhanath, the most important Tibetan Buddhist temple outside Tibet and join the pilgrims in their devotions.

Meet the living goddess, Kumari Devi and relax in the serene Garden of Dreams.
Continue your exploration of Kathmandu's cultural heritage. Visit the historic Durbar Square where you’ll tour the courtyards, palaces and monuments that tell the story of the city’s past. You can light a candle or spin a giant prayer wheel among the faithful at one of the many temple buildings. For a unique experience, a scenic flight to view Mount Everest and the Himalayas is available, a view that will be etched in your memory forever.
Visit the Kathmandu Valley to see the grandeur of Nepal’s former royal capitals, Patan and Bhaktapur. In Patan, tour the palace districts and visit the Patan Museum famous for its collection of traditional Nepalese art. Visit the artisan workshops where fine metal crafts, including singing bowls and brass tableware, are made. Bhaktapur welcomes you with its woodwork and ceramics and the chance to taste the unique “king yogurt”, juju dhau. This day is an art journey of Nepal, where you can learn about Buddhist thangka paintings and shop for handmade Nepalese products.
Leave Kathmandu for Pokhara. Reflect on the culture and history of the past few days. The journey from Kathmandu to Pokhara is from the cultural heart of Nepal to its natural beauty, setting the stage for the next part of your journey.
Pokhara welcomes you with its serenity, surrounded by the Himalayas. Spend the day exploring this charming town where tradition and nature blend seamlessly. Walk through the villages and foothills to get a glimpse of rural Nepal. Visit active Hindu temples and see the traditional wood and brick architecture of the old town. A private boat ride on Phewa Lake will reveal the peacefulness of the region including a visit to an island temple. Go up to the hilltop Peace Pagoda for breathtaking views of Phewa Lake, the surrounding forests and the Himalayas including Machapuchare.
Head to the heart of Nepal’s wilderness at Chitwan National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its diverse ecosystems and wildlife. Settle into a luxury lodge along the Rapti River, your gateway to Chitwan. Go on safaris through the subtropical forests and grasslands of the park and look out for one-horned rhinos, Bengal tigers, sloth bears, deer, wild boars and gharials. Chitwan is a birdwatcher’s paradise with hornbills, darters and kingfishers adding colour and sound to the experience.
Spend the day in Chitwan National Park with activities tailored to your interests. Get up close with elephants, go on a walking safari to explore the park’s flora and fauna or take a boat ride on the Rapti River for a different perspective on the wildlife. Visit a local Tharu village to learn about the lifestyle and traditions of this indigenous community. Alternatively, bike through the surrounding villages and farmland for a unique experience of the local culture and landscape.
Back to Kathmandu for your last night in Nepal. This day is to reflect on the many experiences you’ve had, from the cultural heritage of Kathmandu Valley to the natural beauty of Pokhara and Chitwan. Use this opportunity to visit any sights you may have missed in Kathmandu or simply relax and enjoy the memories of your Nepalese adventure.
Your journey in Nepal ends today. Depart from Kathmandu with a treasure trove of memories, experiences and maybe a few souvenirs that capture the essence of this wonderful country. Whether it’s the spiritual calm of its temples, the breathtaking landscapes or the warmth of its people, Nepal leaves an indelible mark on all who visit.
This tour was designed to showcase Nepal’s unique ability to combine spiritual heritage, Himalayan landscapes and wildlife experiences all in one journey. We wanted to create a luxury itinerary that honours both the country’s traditions and its natural beauty.
From the living heritage of Kathmandu’s old temples and artisan quarters to the peacefulness of Pokhara’s lakeside, the journey offers cultural encounters with expert insight.
