Itinerary
Day 1: Kathmandu
Our hotel is located in Patan, as such we have included the entrance ticket to nearby Patan Durbar Square where you can explore on your own.
Exclusive inclusions: Activity - Enjoy a self-guided tour of this spectacular square built primarily in the 16th and 17th centuries. Located within it are the Royal Palace and many temples built in the traditional Newari pagoda style. We also visit the Golden Temple and Patan museum. South of the square lies the Kumari Chowk, home to Nepal's living goddess, the Kumari, a prepubescent girl chosen as the incarnation of the Hindu goddess Talejn. The Kumari lives a cloistered life, rarely leaving the confines of the chowk. When she does, it is for important religious festivals, but her feet are not allowed to touch the ground. Once the Kumari reaches puberty, another 3-5-year-old girl will take her place. If she is receiving visitors, we may be able to stop by for a blessing.Activity - Your opportunity to meet your CEO and fellow travellers, and learn more about your tour. Opt to join the group for a local meal afterwards.

Nepal combines Himalayan views (when visible), golden temples, charming villages, and jungle wildlife and is a great destination to explore. I'll be back one day again to revisit Pokhara as it had a great vibe.
06/01/2024
Wonderful experience of Nepal, leader Madhu was professional and knowledgeable. Good mix of sights, food, culture and history.
05/15/2024
Nepal should have been an unforgettable experience. However it has a serious pollution problem which made it difficult to enjoy the scenery etc. The Himalayas were not visible. The road trips were too long at 9 to 12 hours on very poor condition roads.
05/05/2024
Great insight into the Highlights of Nepal, such a beautiful country with tasty food and welcoming locals. The tour was well organised and well managed throughout by our CEO.
