Itinerary
Arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu. Clear immigration and baggage, meet our representative and transfer to your hotel in Kathmandu. The valley capital, where seven UNESCO monument zones stand within an hour of each other and the old city has not stopped being a working one. The rest of the day is free to settle in. Overnight in Kathmandu.
Breakfast at the hotel and check out. Leave for Chitwan — a 160 km, five-hour drive south-west. The first national park in Nepal — sal forest and elephant grass on the Rapti, holding one-horned rhino, gaur and tiger. Check in on arrival and, as the day allows, a 4x4 jeep safari into the sal forest for rhino and deer. Overnight in Chitwan.
Breakfast at the hotel. A full day in Chitwan — a dugout canoe on the Rapti for gharial and marsh mugger; the elephant breeding centre and the Tharu cultural evening; and a guided jungle walk and the Rapti river sunset. The evening is free for dinner and a walk on your own. Overnight in Chitwan.
Breakfast at the hotel and check out. Leave for Pokhara — a 150 km, five-hour climb out of the Terai. A lake town under the Annapurnas, where Machhapuchhre stands 7,000 m above a boat on Phewa Tal. Check in on arrival and, as the day allows, a boat on Phewa lake to the Tal Barahi temple. Overnight in Pokhara.
Breakfast at the hotel. A full day in Pokhara — the Sarangkot sunrise over Annapurna and Machhapuchhre; the World Peace Pagoda above the lake; and the Davis Falls, Gupteshwor cave and the Bindhyabasini temple. The evening is free for dinner and a walk on your own. Overnight in Pokhara.
Breakfast at the hotel and check out. Leave for Ghandruk — a drive to Nayapul and a four-hour walk up the valley. A stone-built Gurung village facing Annapurna South and Machhapuchhre across the Modi Khola. Check in on arrival and, as the day allows, the Annapurna South and Machhapuchhre wall at sunrise. Overnight in Ghandruk.
Breakfast at the hotel. A full day in Ghandruk — the Gurung museum and the village stone stairways; the walk down through terraced fields to Kimche; and the Annapurna South and Machhapuchhre wall at sunrise. The evening is free for dinner and a walk on your own. Overnight in Ghandruk.
Breakfast at the hotel and check out, with a last look at the Annapurna and Machhapuchhre skyline from the village. There is time for any final shopping, including Gurung handicrafts and woollens, before the drive down through Nayapul and the Modi Khola valley to Pokhara International Airport for the onward flight. The tour ends here, and we hope it is not your last visit to Nepal.
