Explore Nepal Tour with Everest Mountain Flight – 12 Days

Welcome to Nepal, a country with a diversified ethnic population, a distinct culture, and a beautiful natural environment! Straight out of the airport, you'll be greeted with vistas of beautiful blue skies, green hills, and snowy mountains. Our personnel from Apricot Tours will greet you at the terminal and transport you to your accommodation in Thamel, which is 5 kilometers away. Thamel, the tourist magnet, is the greatest area to wander and visit the city's various religious monuments. Celebrate your first night with a welcome supper. After resting at your accommodation, venture out in the evening to explore the bustling streets and have some real Nepali cuisine.

After breakfast, you will visit our office near the hotel to meet with the guide and our crew, who will brief you on the trip schedule. Furthermore, we will help you prepare the necessary documentation and permissions. Following the preparations, we will tour several heritage sites in Kathmandu Valley. The first stop is Patan Durbar Square in Lalitpur, which houses the historic royal palace of the Malla Kings. The palace has been turned into the Patan Museum. You will see unique metalwork, woodwork, and other displayed items. You may go around the courtyards and see the Krishna temple and other shrines in the vicinity. The journey continues to the villages of Khokana and Bungamati, which are only 10 kilometers south of Kathmandu. You'll travel through the verdant terraced farms to Bungamati, a Newari settlement and the abode of Lord Machindranath, the God of Rain and Compassion. Men and women may be farming, weaving, carving wood, or going about their regular lives. The Karya Binayak Temple, dedicated to Lord Ganesh, is located near Khokana, just north of Bungmati. Both of these communities have a rich history, culture, and traditions that have been passed down for years. From there, you may go to the northeastern fringes of the valley to see one of Nepal's greatest stupas, Boudhanath. Circle the dome and chant prayers to the Buddha's watching gaze. Before returning to your accommodation, be sure to taste some Tibetan Lhaphing and noodles available in surrounding restaurants.

Duration: 7-8 hours After a short climb to the Nagarkot hilltop, take in the dawn and mountains. You could be lucky enough to see clear views of the Langtang range, Mt. Jugal, and Mt. Ganesh. After breakfast, drive back to Kathmandu and board a tourist bus bound for Pokhara. Taking the Prithvi Highway by the Trishuli River would ultimately lead you to the renowned tourist resort of Pokhara. We will transport you to your accommodation near the Phewa Lake in Baidam. Your muscles will be sore from the road ride because you will have spent most of the day traveling. As a result, you may go to the hotel and rest. In the evening, you may go out and rent a bicycle to explore the streets and Lakeside. Enjoy any food served at the eateries, or sample the native Thakali feast.

Pokhara, the city of lakes, has plenty to offer in terms of natural beauty as well as man-made architecture. You will spend two days exploring the most renowned attractions in Pokhara. Early in the morning, you will be treated to a close-up glimpse of Mt. Machhapuchhre and the Annapurna Massif. During your two-day stay, you will visit the following places: Phewa Lake Phewa Lake, also known as Baidam Tal, is a freshwater lake ideal for a stroll or a boat trip. You might opt to sail around Phewa, stopping at the island shrine of Barahi. The temple is most popular during peak marriage seasons when couples marry and during festivals. Gupteshwor Cave and the Bat Cave Some of Nepal's most famous caverns are found near Pokhara. Gupteshwor Cave is named after the god Gupteshwor Mahadev, and there is a temple inside the cave. The water from Davis Falls flows through this cave. Bat Cave is another fascinating cave with a large entrance and a tiny exit. It is thought that departing through the narrow end of the cave will cleanse you of your sins. The Bat Cave's name comes from the hundreds of bats that hang on its walls. Davis Falls Davis Falls, also known as Devi's Falls or Patale Chango, is a renowned waterfall near Gupteshwor Cave. It was named in honor of a Swiss woman who perished in this hole. International Mountain Museum The museum houses all of the artifacts, history, tools, clothes, and other records linked to climbing in Nepal. It is huge and contains wonderful objects on exhibit that are highly informative.

Shanti Stupa (World Peace Pagoda) The Shanti Stupa is Nepal's first World Peace Pagoda, designed in the form of a Buddhist pagoda. To get there, drive over gravel roads to a mountain around Pokhara. There are other places beyond those mentioned here that you can visit if time allows. The Bindabasini Temple The Shikhara-style temple has two golden metal lions guarding the gate. It is Pokhara's oldest temple, dedicated to an avatar of the Goddess Kali. There are several additional temples and shrines nearby, including Shiva, Saraswati, Vishnu, and Hanuman temples.

Duration: 5-6 hours Even before dawn, you will travel to the Sarangkot hills and trek a short distance to the mountaintop to experience the breathtaking sunrise views. You will also get up-close panoramic vistas of the Annapurna Massif, Machhapuchhre, Lamjung Himal, and other sights. It's an ideal spot for breakfast while watching colorful paragliders fly over the azure sky. In the afternoon, return to Pokhara and pack for a journey to Chitwan, located to the east of Pokhara. As you approach Chitwan, you will notice that the air is becoming warmer and that there is more vegetation along the route. Chitwan is most known for the national park that bears its name, as well as its lush forests and fauna. When you arrive at your hotel, you will rest and clean yourself. Because you would be exhausted after the road excursion, you may take a brief stroll around the streets, meet the ethnic Tharu people, and sample some of their specialties such as duck meat and snail soup

After breakfast, you will begin your day with enthusiasm as you prepare to embark on a thrilling Jungle safari in Chitwan, Nepal's first national park. You may do a half-day or full-day safari in a Jeep or on elephant back. However, it is recommended to take a lengthy Jeep journey to see the spectacular beauty of the forest, where you will see some rare One-horned Rhinoceros, Gaur, Wild Elephants, deers, antelopes, pangolins, and more. If you are exceptionally lucky, you may even get to see the rare Royal Bengal Tiger. If you enjoy birding, there is a different activity for you as well. Chitwan's jungles are home to over 550 different bird species, including the Great White-Fronted Goose, Kashmir Flycatcher, Pheasant, and others. After the long safari, you may take a canoe trip down the Rapti River to witness alligator families. In the evening, attend the Tharu cultural entertainment to see plays, cultural stick dances, and the Tharu community in traditional attire.

Duration: 5-6 hours The first half of the day is spent in Chitwan, participating in sightseeing activities. You may explore surrounding temples and mingle with the people. Take a short trip to the Elephant Breeding Center, which houses numerous protected elephants as well as deer, wild boars, and peacocks. You will drive to Kathmandu in the afternoon from Chitwan via the Narayanghat Mugling Highway. We will transport you to your accommodation for the night.
