Early in the morning, you will have breakfast and then leave the hotel for the day tour. Our tour guide will pick you up from your hotel with a driver and a four-wheeler as per the group size. We will begin the tour with a visit to the Monkey Temple, located on a hilltop, this temple goes back to the 5th century and is quite important for Hindus and Buddhists. From here, you can drive to Pashupatinath temple, located on the bank of the holy Bagmati river. It is one of the significant pilgrim sites in Nepal dedicated to Lord Shiva. The tour then continues to the largest stupa in Nepal, Boudhanath Stupa. Situated on an ancient trade route, the Boudhanath stupa is one of the major Buddhist pilgrimage sites outside of Tibet. The atmosphere of this monument is immaculate. We then head to the medieval city Patan, which is located in Lalitpur, and explore Patan Durbar Square. The ancient architecture, art, and craftsmanship you will see in this royal residence are astonishing. The tour ends here, and we will drop you back at the hotel. You will have an hour to pack your stuff, and we drive to a nearby hill station called Nagarkot to spend the night. Walk to the sunset point to witness a breathtaking landscape. Away from the bustle of Kathmandu, you will have a peaceful time in Nagarkot.
Today, we will leave Nagarkot early in the morning and drive to Pokhara, the famous city of Lakes widely loved by travellers. The drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara is fantastic, as we will be following a well-made scenic route. The landscapes along the way will make us forget the time. The views of lush green hills, rivers, terraces, and waterfalls are wonderful. On the way, we will stop at Manakamana Temple. We will use a 9-minute cable car ride to reach the top of the hill where the temple is located. This deity is known as the goddess of fulfilling wishes. You can make a wish here. After exploring the temple, we will continue the drive to Pokhara. Pokhara will welcome us with superb views of snow-capped mountains like Fishtail and Annapurna. We will drop you at the hotel. Spend the evening exploring the Lakeside Market and observing a gorgeous sunset at tranquil Phewa Lake.
Today, we will be exploring Pokhara. After breakfast, drive to Sarangkot, a popular destination from where you can see a striking aerial panorama of Pokhara. This place is famous for paragliding. You can also join if you wish at an additional charge. Likewise, the views of snow-capped mountains like Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Fishtail, along with the northern outskirts of Pokhara are phenomenal. From Sarangkot, we will visit the Bindabasini Temple. It is one of the oldest temples in Pokhara dedicated to Goddess Durga. Exploring the market around this pilgrim site, we continue the tour to the International Mountain Museum and then to Devi's Fall. We will then visit the Gupteshwor Cave and Mahendra Cave.
Today, we will be driving to Chitwan, located in the plains of Nepal, the Terai region. The drive from Pokhara to Chitwan is extremely comfortable and beautiful. For the first few hours of the drive, we will be enjoying the views of green hills, terraces, rivers, and waterfalls. As the route winds along the hillsides, we will enter the plains, where both sides of the highway are covered with dense forests and occasional settlement areas. Upon reaching Chitwan, the team will drop you at the hotel. In the late evening, we will be visiting an indigenous Tharu village. They will welcome us with their traditional stick dance and vibrant attire. After the tour, we will return to the hotel to spend the night.
A full-day tour of Chitwan National Park usually starts early in the morning, as this is the best time to spot wildlife. We will leave the hotel and dive into the park, where a park guide will join us. The national park guide is usually a trained naturalist who is knowledgeable about the park's flora and fauna and can help visitors spot animals and birds. The tour typically begins with a canoe ride down the Rapti River, which is one of the best ways to observe the park's wildlife. We can see various species of birds, crocodiles, and even freshwater dolphins during this ride. After the canoe ride, we usually take a jungle to explore the park's vegetation and spot some of the smaller animals and birds. Later we will take a jeep safari through the park, which is one of the highlights of the tour. This is the best way to spot the park's larger animals, such as tigers, rhinos, and elephants. We can also see various species of deer, monkeys, and wild boars during the safari.
The drive from Chitwan to Kathmandu can take anywhere from 5-6 hours, depending on traffic and road conditions. The route follows the Prithvi Highway which is a major national highway in Nepal. The road winds through the hills and passes through several small towns and villages, along the way, providing scenic views of the surrounding countryside. You have your last day in Kathmandu. Make sure to go shopping. Window shopping in Thamel is quite famous among travellers. We will meet you in the late evening for a farewell dinner.

Jungle Safari
Chitwan National Park, located in the south-western lowlands of Nepal, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most popular destinations for jungle safari, wildlife adventure, and eco-tourism experiences in Nepal. Covering around 932 sq. km, it is home to rich biodiversity, dense subtropical forests, grasslands, rivers, and a wide range of rare and endangered wildlife species including the one-horned rhinoceros, Bengal tiger, wild elephants, crocodiles, deer, and hundreds of exotic bird species. A jungle safari here offers an exciting and unforgettable wildlife experience, making it one of the best activities in Nepal for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Visitors can enjoy jeep safari deep inside the jungle, canoe ride on the Rapti River, bird watching, and nature walks, all offering close encounters with pristine wilderness and natural beauty. The safari experience is often combined with a cultural visit to the traditional Tharu villages, where travelers can explore authentic Tharu culture, lifestyle, dance, and hospitality, adding a unique cultural dimension to the wildlife adventure. Today, jeep safari is the most recommended and eco-friendly option, replacing elephant safari due to wildlife conservation efforts and animal welfare awareness, ensuring responsible and sustainable tourism in Nepal’s premier national park.
