Our 9-day long trip begins with your arrival in Kathmandu. Our team will receive you at the Tribhuwan International Airport and transfer you to your hotels. You will be staying in a suitable hotel within Kathmandu itself. After you are checked into your hotel rooms, you can get refreshed from the jet lag. Most of the day after arrival is time off for relaxation for you. You will meet other people, and you might be traveling within a group.

Our Team will also ensure to brief you about places you will visit during this 9-day trip. You will learn about the places and their history and culture. They will make sure you know about the dos and dont’s of the trip.

Today will be a day filled with excursions around Kathmandu. We will begin with breakfast and leave for Pashupathinath Temple. This site is a highly revered holy site for Hindu Pilgrims. It lies 5km east of the center of Kathmandu and is quite near the international airport. The temple pays heed to the god Shiva or Pashupatinath. It is two-tiered and is built with golden roofs and silver doors. The architecture of this temple is quite popular. You will find many people performing rituals of worship early in the morning. Many people perform rituals even at the bank of the Bagmati river that lies alongside the temple.

The main temple premise is entry only for Hindus. However, you will be able to observe the vicinity of the temple, which is quite huge. Similarly, you can watch religious activities that happen on a large scale nearby and on the banks of the river.

After our tour of the temple, we leave for Bouddhanath stupa. It lies near Pashupatinath, a few kilometers northeast. The stupa is an ancient monument that is one of the biggest in the world. People famously call it “Little Tibet.” This is due to a lot of people of Tibetan culture and origin residing in its vicinity.

Following the tour of Bouddhanath, we will head towards the Durbar Square of Kathmandu. The place is a cultural heritage site that used to be an ancient palace. This was hope for the royal Malla kings and Shah kings who overthrew them. The palace has courtyards, buildings, and various temples.

Nearby the palace, you will also find the Kastha Mandap near the temple of Kumari. They were built in 1596 AD as a unique type of wooden temple design called Maru Satal by King Laxmi Narsingh Malla. The temple was made up of a single tree, which translates to “Kastha Mandap.” It is believed the name Kathmandu was derived from this temple itself.

Before the day ends, we will head to the Swayambhunath temple or the Monkey temple. This is one of the most primitive Buddhist Chaityas you can find in Kathmandu or in Nepal. It has also been enlisted as a world heritage site. The stupa is housed at the top of a hill, and you can see the city from it. It will be a great place to witness the sunset.

Following a fantastic all-day tour of Kathmandu, you will have a free evening. After that, you will have supper at a lovely restaurant back at the hotel.

After a day full of exploration in Kathmandu, we will change our location. Today, we will be heading to Pokhara, the stunning city of lakes. Today's journey will be through picturesque paths that curve alongside Nepal's hills on a meandering road. As you travel the Prithvi Highway, you will see numerous hills, rivers, and villages.

The stunning Himalayan scene in the background of the city will greet you after a six-hour drive. Numerous lakes may be seen, including the captivating Phewa Lake, in the city's heart. For the day, we'll be based in one of the hotels that lie in the lakeside of the city’s center.

The city is home to a number of tourist destinations, including places recognized as natural and cultural heritage. Numerous lakes, caves, temples, stupas, viewtowers, etc. can be found there. In the next few days, we'll go to a few of these locations.


Our next stop is towards the plain in the south. After Pokhara, you will head to Chitwan by driving for almost five hours on the main highway. You will see the road which follows the Trisuli River mostly south. Chitwan is comparatively warmer than the hills of Kathmandu and Pokhara. So make sure you pack your light clothes, especially if you travel during warmer seasons.

A manager, jungle guide, or naturalist will greet you at Chitwan. The details of your stay in Chitwan, including programs and activities in the forest, will then be explained to you. You will spend the night in a hotel or resort close to the Chitwan National Park Be ready to have an adventurous day in the jungles of Nepal the next day.

There will be a variety of programs involving activities in the jungle for the entire day. We will begin early in the morning before breakfast. Enjoy a morning or late afternoon with a jungle safari, which includes a Jeep ride into the woods. Options for a tour by walking and elephant back riding are also available. After that, you will have breakfast and have some time off.

Then, you will also have birdwatching walks. You will be on a canoe ride to spot crocodiles and water birds and a forest drive with entertaining elephant bathing. Visit the elephant breeding center as well.

To prepare for the day, take a few hours of relaxation in the afternoon. Prepare for another jungle activity after rest hours. Before dinner in the evening, you will be treated to local Tharu folk dance performances. Prepare to engulf yourselves with the locals and have fun. This will mark the end of day 6.

Following a fantastic, thrilling, and enjoyable stay in Chitwan, we will head to our next stop. After breakfast, we will drive to the well-known Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Buddha. The drive takes you west through Nepal's low, flat plains. Then, we move into the Rupandehi district of Lumbini, where the weather is considerably warmer.

After arriving, we will check into a lovely hotel or resort. You may then spend the afternoon wandering around Lumbini’s streets adjacent to the sacred sites. You'll see that the locals have a strong Indian impact on their way of life. The borders of India are only a short distance away, influencing the local culture.

Today, we will spend the day visiting many places. First, we will visit historical landmarks and the birthplaces of Lord Buddha in the morning. The founder of Buddhism, Gautaum Buddha, is believed to have been born here in the sixth century BC. There are many historical and religious artifacts commemorating his life in Lumbini.

When Emperor Asoka, or Piyadasi, converted to Buddhism in 249 BC, he visited Lumbini. He also built four stupas as well as a stone pillar. Asoka's Pillar is inscribed with the following translation: "King Piyadasi (Asoka), beloved of devas, in the 20 years of the coronation, himself made a royal visit, Buddha Sakyamuni having been born here, a stone railing was built and a stone pillar erected to the Bhagavan [“blessed one”] having been born here. Lumbini village was taxed reduced and entitled to eight parts”.

Lumbini was once again rediscovered in 1895 by a German archaeologist. He did so by recognizing the Ashoka's Pillar. This highly revered location was also located through records kept by the Chinese pilgrim Fa Xian. In 1997, Lumbini received the designation of UNESCO World Heritage Site.

You will visit the Ashoka Pillar, Mayadevi Garden, and museums in the vicinity. Soak in the tranquility of this peaceful location.

In the afternoon, we will try to leave Lumbini. Per the Kathmandu flight schedule, we will travel to the Gautam Buddha airport in Bhairawa. From there, take a 50-minute flight to return to Kathmandu. The flight will be scenic, and you can admire a breathtaking aerial view of the Annapurna peaks and other peaks in the Himalayan range.

Spend your final night in this land of immense cultural diversity for the last time in Nepal. After arrival at the domestic airport, you will be checking into your accommodation. The adventurous times you had in Nepal come to an end soon.

All good things must come to an end, the same applies to this tour. However, the Nepal View Tour will leave you with unforgettable memories and an exhilarating experience. On your last day in this land of Himalayan wonders, our crew and guides will drive you to the international airport in Kathmandu. You can then board your flight and continue on to your next destination or return home.
