Kathmandu > Pokhara > Nagarkot
Overview
Our 5 Days in Nepal Tour is the most care-free and convenient way to experience Nepal’s top tourist destinations. We have a lot to see in these five days, but our guides will make sure that you get everything that you want from each destination. On our first day after your arrival, we embark on our Kathmandu city tour, visiting three UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kathmandu: Swayambhunath, Patan, and Boudhanath. Swayambhunath, also known as ‘Monkey Temple,’ is full of symbolism and is one of the oldest religious sites in Nepal. The Buddhist temple offers an incredible view of Kathmandu. Boudhanath Stupa is one of the largest Buddhist shrines in the world. We’ll see monks and devotees circumnavigating the stupa. In Patan, we visit Patan Durbar Square, an ancient Newari kingdom full of eloquent architecture.
We drive to Pokhara the next day and relax in the evening. The following day, we’ll visit Sarangkot, Peace Stupa, and go boating on Begnas Lake. We chill out, soak up the sun, and take some snaps with mountain views around us. In the evening, we feast on some drinks and tasty foods in Pokhara. On our final day, we fly back to Kathmandu to see two more world-renowned tourist destinations: Pashupatinath and Bhaktapur. Pashupatinath Temple is the most famous Hindu temple in the country. You can see sadhus (holy men) meditating, pilgrims bathing, and bodies being cremated on the banks of the Bagmati River.
Last, but not least, Bhaktapur is another ancient Newari kingdom located just outside of Kathmandu. Nagarkot, another picturesque hilltop with even more stunning mountain views. Just a short drive from Kathmandu, stare face-to-face with the several of the highest mountain peaks in the world. With Dhaulagiri in the west, Everest and Kanchenjunga in the east, and the Annapurna range between the two, it is a once in a lifetime panorama. Stroll around the beautiful village. Enjoy the sun’s luminous glow at both sunset and sunrise from Nagarkot. Disconnected from the noise and business of Kathmandu, feel the peaceful vibes of Nagarkot.
