After breakfast in the morning we go for the Kathmandu sightseeing tour. We will tour the UNESCO World heritage sites today which includes: Swayambhunath Stupa - The oldest Buddhist Stupa in Kathmandu Valley, a beautiful home to lots of monkeys thus also known as Monkey Temple, it\'s also a perfect vantage point to see Kathmandu valley. Pashupatinath Temple- A holy pilgrimage site for Hindus and is a Hindu Crematorium. Watch as the Hindu dead bodies are cremated in the most unique way in the world; we come across men with ash rubbed bodies, matted dreadlocks, the typical look of Hindu Holy Men known as Sadhus. Boudhanath Stupa - the biggest Buddhist temple in the world; a site for Tibetan Buddhism where we can visit monasteries, watch the Holy Monks busy in their chanting ritual going around the temple. Patan Durbar Square- A Medieval Royal Palace area which is also known as the city of fine arts, we can see the finest example of metal and stone carving back to 14th century as well as the amazing Nepali Architecture. Later on, we will drive to Nagarkot for about 1.5 hrs and stay overnight there. Nagarkot is a beautiful hill station 32 Kilometers east of Kathmandu and famous for sunrises and Mountain Views. We can enjoy the breathtaking view of Langtang range in the Himalaya along with other magnificent mountains including Sisa Pangma, Dorje Lakpa, Gaurishankar and also a tiny glimpse of Mt. Everest on a very clear day. Sunrise from here is as fascinating as it can be. The cool weather there makes us wish for more days there but so sad, we are checking out from here tomorrow.

Early morning wake up for the sunrise. We will check out the hotel after breakfast and drive for about 40 minutes to Bhaktapur for a sightseeing tour of the world heritage town. After about 2 hours’ sightseeing of Bhaktapur, we start driving to Chitwan National Park. It takes us about 6 hours to reach this beautiful National Park in the south of Nepal. Chitwan National Park was once the hunting ground of British and Nepalese aristocrats. Today, the animals - elephant, rhinoceros, tiger, leopard and deer - are protected, not shot. The greatest thrill here is to scout for wildlife on the back of an elephant. This national park is enlisted in the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Full day in Chitwan National Park for exciting activities like: jungle walk, elephant riding, village visit, canoeing, visit to elephant breeding center, bird-watching etc. A nature guide will lead us through all the activities giving us more insights about the wildlife, flora and fauna in the national park. View of wild and aquatic life like rhinoceros, deer, bear, crocodile, and different birds will make your day. Don\'t miss sunset along he riverbank. In the evening we can enjoy the Tharu cultural show. Tharus are aboriginal people of the area who have their own language, culture and tradition.

Today we are driving for 5 hours to go to Pokhara, a very famous nature and tourist destination in Nepal. As soon as we reach Pokhara, the atmosphere starts telling us about the beauty of the place. One of the most beautiful lake cities in the world, Pokhara, is also the city for the adventure sports in Nepal. It is also a famous sightseeing place with beautiful lakes and views of Himalayan range. The close-up view of the Annapurna range and Mt. Fishtail from here is more than fascinating. In the afternoon we explore the beauty of Pokhara by boating on Lake Fewa, and visiting a temple on a small island.

We wake up early in the morning and drive for about 35 minutes to Sarangkot, a beautiful hill near Pokhara famous for Sunrise. A closed-up look of the Annapurna and Fishtail peaks, and the unparalleled Sunrise makes a perfect start of your day. After Sunrise, we come back to hotel for breakfast. After breakfast we go for a nice row boating trip on the beautiful Lake Fewa. Later we visit Davis falls, a cave, and Tibetan Refugee Camp. P.S: We can choose to do some adventure activities like Paragliding, ultralight flight or Zip flyer as well, with an extra cost. We can also hike to Naudanda Sarangkot or World Peace Stupa or Nirmal Pokhari at an extra rate of USD 17 per person - minimum 2 participants required.
