Complete Nepal Tour – 16-Day Programme

When you arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport, our friendly guide will welcome you and drive you ot your hotel in Thamel, the lively tourist hub of Kathmandu. You’ll have time to rest after your long flight. In the evening, you can explore the narrow streets full of shops, cafés, and colorful prayer flags. Dinner will be served at a traditional Nepali restaurant where you can taste dal bhat (rice with lentils and curry).

After breakfast, we start exploring the cultural treasures of Kathmandu. You’ll visit Pashupatinath Temple, the most sacred Hindu site, where you may witness local rituals on the Bagmati River. Next, head to Boudhanath Stupa, one of the world’s largest Buddhist shrines with colorful prayer wheels and flags. Later, explore Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple) on a hilltop with wide views over the valley. End the day in Kathmandu Durbar Square, surrounded by palaces, old courtyards, and living history.

Today is all about ancient art and architecture. A short drive takes us to Bhaktapur, a medieval city known for pottery, woodcarving, and red-brick squares. You can try shaping clay in the pottery square or taste the local curd “juju dhau.” Later, visit Patan Durbar Square, full of temples and museums that show the blend of Hindu and Buddhist traditions. The day ends back in Kathmandu with some free time for strolling.

In the morning, we drive to Nagarkot, a quiet hill station about 30 km from Kathmandu. The ride passes green terraces and small villages. Once at Nagarkot, check into your hotel and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. As evening falls, you’ll watch the sunset glow over Himalayan peaks like Langtang, Dorje Lakpa, and even Mount Everest on clear days.

Wake up early to catch a magical sunrise above the Himalayas. After breakfast, we drive to Pokhara, the beautiful lake city. The road winds past rivers, hills, and farming villages. On arrival, relax by Phewa Lake and enjoy the mountain reflection on the water. Evening is free for lakeside walks or cafés.

Today you’ll explore Pokhara’s natural and cultural spots. Visit Davis Fall, a dramatic waterfall that vanishes underground, and the nearby Gupteshwor Cave with a sacred shrine. Then head to the International Mountain Museum to learn about Himalayan peaks and climbers. In the afternoon, take a peaceful boat ride on Phewa Lake to reach the World Peace Pagoda on a hilltop, offering a stunning panorama of Pokhara and the Annapurna mountains.

Early morning, drive up to Sarangkot (1,600m), famous for its sunrise view over Annapurna, Machapuchhare, and Dhaulagiri. The first golden rays of the sun lighting the snow peaks is unforgettable. Later, enjoy a short hike through nearby villages where you’ll see terraced fields, traditional houses, and smiling locals. Afternoon free to relax back at the lake.

After breakfast, drive south to Chitwan, Nepal’s first national park. The landscape changes from hills to plains, with warm weather and green forests. Check into your jungle lodge and relax. In the evening, enjoy a sunset by the Rapti River and a Tharu cultural dance performance by the local community.

A full day of exciting jungle activities. Early in the morning, set off on a jeep or elephant-back safari to spot one-horned rhinos, deer, wild boars, and if lucky, a Bengal tiger. Later, enjoy a canoe ride where you may see crocodiles and water birds. Guided nature walks and birdwatching add to the experience. At night, relax in the peaceful jungle atmosphere.

After breakfast, we drive back to Kathmandu through scenic countryside. The afternoon is free for you to rest or shop for souvenirs in Thamel. You may find prayer wheels, pashmina shawls, or handmade jewelry.

Leave the busy city and drive toward a traditional hill village (depending on weather, it may be Dhulikhel, Bandipur, or a similar location). The journey offers views of green valleys and local life. Check into a guesthouse and enjoy home-cooked meals. Evening sunset over the hills is magical.

Spend the day walking around terraced fields, chatting with villagers, and experiencing Nepal’s rural lifestyle. You’ll see how locals farm, cook, and live in harmony with nature. Enjoy a simple but warm meal with local flavors.

Take a short hike to a nearby viewpoint where you can see Himalayan peaks spread across the horizon. The rest of the day is at leisure – you can relax, read, or sip tea with locals. This slower pace is part of the charm of the Complete Nepal Tour.

After breakfast, drive back toward Kathmandu, stopping at small towns and viewpoints along the way. This is your last chance to enjoy rural Nepal before heading back to the capital.

A leisure day to explore on your own – you can visit more temples, join a Nepali cooking class, or simply relax. In the evening, join our team for a farewell dinner with cultural music and dance, a wonderful way to end your journey.

Our team will transfer you to Tribhuvan International Airport as per your flight schedule. Carry home unforgettable memories of your Complete Nepal Tour.
