Kathmandu Nagarkot Chitwan Lumbini Pokhara Tour

Kathmandu is, indeed, a historic city bedecked with time-honored monuments and architectural facets throughout the backstreet alleys. On this day, we will visit some of the most brilliant architectural pieces (of inside the valley), which have secured its name in the book of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

­ 

Swayambhunath temple and Boudhanath Stupa are two of these sites which are famous for its unique morphological outlook. While its anatomy is mostly adorned with the enthralling paintings of the Lord Buddha, visitors of all religions are welcome to join the prayer ceremonies. It is one of the most peaceful places in the world. Similarly, Pashupatinath temple is a holy shrine of Hindus that is primarily dedicated to Lord Shiva (one of the three supreme Hindu deities of this Universe). Within this complex only, there are 518 temples and monuments, which is a lot many when it comes to seeing them together within a specified territory.

Patan Durbar Square, on the other hand, is uniquely different from all of the above edifices. The intricate designs and wooden carvings in this historical Malla palace still shine from the far-distance back. Its pillars and walls are painted with delicate images of gods and the outer courtyards are garnished with the sculptures that look like both a god and a demon.

After sightseeing, return back to your hotel for the overnight stay. Stay at Kathmandu Eco Hotel In Thamel

Even today, we will go on a sightseeing tour, but some part of the activities also includes hiking. Early in the morning, we will have our breakfast at Kathmandu and then, kick off towards Bhaktapur to enroll in the exotic settings of Bhaktapur Durbar Square, which is just a name that epitomizes the four different squares in total- Durbar Square, Taumadhi Square, Dattatreya Square, and Pottery Square.

After exploring Bhaktapur, we will catch a drive to Changunarayan Temple, which is the oldest temple of Nepal that was built in around 4th century by King Mandev. Although the reformation works have been carried out time and again, its beautiful carvings still lure visitors. Being situated at the hilltop, the Changunarayan temple is a beautiful vantage point also offering vivid views of the Bhaktapur city. From Bhaktapur, Nagarkot is just a couple of kilometers away; so, we will make our journey by foot until there. By the time we reached Nagarkot, it would have been late afternoon. So, we will make our overnight stay in Kathmandu. Stay at Kathmandu Eco Hotel In Thamel

Subsequently, after witnessing the glorious sunrise from the viewpoint of Nagarkot, we will head on towards Kathmandu via a car/jeep and then, catch a long drive to Chitwan.

Chitwan is drastically different than Kathmandu in many respects- topography, climate, people, culture, language, and many more. Once we arrive in Chitwan, we will go for a short walk along the bank of the river to watch the sunset from the never-ending plains of Chitwan. It is an amazing day, but still, more surprises await the next day. Stay at Hotel Rain Forest 

Chitwan has been a global attraction site for the last couple of decades.  Today, we will catch a short canoe ride in the Rapti River, which, indeed, is an amazing opportunity to see Gharials and Muggers basking in the sun. After that, we will go on a safari- either via Jeep or Elephant- to encounter the wild creatures by surprise. To see one-horned rhinoceros is not a big deal; however, the royal Bengal tiger is a rarely sighted creature in the forest of Chitwan. With over 650 species of birds (including the migratory ones), Chitwan has claimed its title of being one of the best spots for Bird-watching. If you are a passionate photographer then you should stay in this place for a bit of a long time.

Stay at Hotel Rain Forest 

From Chitwan, Lumbini can be reached in about 5-6 hours, but it largely depends upon the traffic. Once we reach there, we will stroll around the Mayadevi temple, which is the place where Lord Buddha was born. The great Ashoka Pillar, by the side of the temple, epitomizes the historical existence of the Lord Buddha. Around the premises of the temple, there are several chronicles (some in English) that explain the historical importance of the site. Apart from these, we will go to see the great Baby Buddha Statue, ahead of which burns the eternal flame (aka Shanti Dip or flame of peace). Also, there are over 10 brilliant monasteries, built by several nations including Nepal, in the periphery of the temple where we can gape on the inner décor of the temple.

Stay at Hotel Five Element

Palpa is a vibrant place, full of amazing people and explorers, caving out the mysteries of the Sen Kingdom that governed Palpa in the past for over 300 years. The houses around Palpa are built in the typical Newari Style, which is a wonderful spot to gaze on. Another attraction of Palpa is the Rani Mahal, which is the historical palace of the queen of Palpa. Being situated in the hilly section of Nepal, a few spots in Palpa offer outstanding views of the mountains. For the night, we will stay in Palpa at Hotel Pauwa

Palpa to Pokhara is a pleasant ride because a lot of natural surprises await you. It is just a four-hour ride; so, once you arrive at Pokhara, you may start your sightseeing around the Davis Falls, Mahendra Cave, and Bat Cave (Chameru Gufa). Davis Falls is an underground waterfall, which is measured as the deepest waterfall in Nepal. However, the real thunder of Davis Wall could only be seen in the monsoon. At other times, the water is not at so pace. Stay at Hotel Crystal Palace 

Today is going to be an exciting day for the whole trip because, on this day, we will be venturing around the realms of Natural Paradise- Pokhara. There are a lot of places to hang out in Pokhara. From Paragliding above the fluffy clouds to the soul-piercing adventure of Bungee Jumping, everything is available in Pokhara. which are available at an Extra cost.

We will visit the World Peace Stupa, built by Nipponzan Myohoji, which is also a beautiful viewpoint to gaze upon the far-sighted incredible mountain vistas. Inside this Stupa, there are two tiers- one for the monks and while other for the visitors. The interiors are well decorated with the sculptures and paintings of Buddha. The 4 outstanding Buddhas on the temple are the present from 4 different nations. It is really an incredible place.

Plus, we will also explore the International Mountain Museum, where the historical records of climbers and epic climbing gears are protected. Apart from these, there are also a few historical places, but that doesn’t count in front of what nature has bestowed to this amazing tourist center. Stay at the Hotel Crystle Palace

Early in the morning, we leave from Pokhara towards Kathmandu, which is a pleasant 6-7 hours ride by jeep. You may as well grab a flight if you are short on time or feel like not going by road. Upon arrival in Kathmandu, you may go shopping for some souvenirs and handicrafts in the marketplace of Thamel. Stay at the Kathmandu Eco Hotel
