On this tour, we visit Kathmandu, Pokhara, Nagarkot, Lumbini, Chitwan, Palpa, Tansen, Dhampus, Phedi, including homestay and a short hike in the village. We will also enjoy white water rafting on Trishuli and a paragliding from Sarangkot.

Kathmandu Valley, the capital, and heart of the country essentially symbolize all that is Nepal. Having seen the rule of various dynasties, the culture and society of Kathmandu have evolved through time to give it a unique characteristic. Kathmandu Valley, today is an urban city that has its history rooted in ancient myths yet stands testimonial to the greatness of the people who have lived here for centuries, a melting pot of all that is Nepali, a mystical magical kingdom where time passes by in a mist, a Shangri-La that took a while to get noticed by the rest of the world.

After Kathmandu, we will drive to Bandipur and on the way, we will undertake day raft. White water rafting means cruising down a rushing river in an inflatable rubber raft over crashing waves and swirling rapids for the excitement of a lifetime. Nepal has earned a reputation as one of the best destinations in the world for white water rafting. Nepal’s thundering waters, coming from the glaciers of the mighty Himalaya, provide unmatched thrills for rafting and immersing oneself in the landscape.

Pokhara is a small city of nature with lakes and mountains. It is famous for Mount Annapurna and Mount Fishtail Himalayas. The reflection of Mountains on the lakes is excellent. There are many excellent day hikes that we have included in Pokhara to the nearby hills. It offers countryside experience, good views of the Himalayas and beautiful lakes. Under one-day hiking trips, you can travel to the place around the valley and enjoy the natural beauty with very friendly people.
