A tour package that encompasses most of what Nepal has to offer, the Kathmandu Chitwan Lumbini Pokhara tour package includes a trip to all the major travel destinations of the country. This tour takes a route different from the mainstream tours in Nepal which involves trekking along the Himalayas. While Nepal is renowned for its Himalayan ranges to the North, its plains to the south are rarely ventured but have a lot to offer. Chitwan, a region southwest of Kathmandu, has the Chitwan National Park which is a UNESCO heritage site. Similarly, Lumbini is renowned as the birthplace of Buddha. Pokhara, for most of us, is a tourist hotspot with hundreds of thousands flocking this city of lakes every year.
This 10-days tour starts on a high note with a mountain flight from Kathmandu. Witness the breathtaking Himalayan range up close as you fly over some of the highest peaks on Earth including the Mount Everest. This early morning flight tour is optional if you wish to opt for a sightseeing tour of Kathmandu valley as you visit the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Pashupatinath, Swayambhunath, Boudhanath, and Basantapur Durbar Square. Next day, we drive to Chitwan, which is located to the south west of Kathmandu. We’ll stay within the Chitwan National Park premises before moving on further west to Lumbini, the birthplace of Gautama Buddha. Both of these areas are UNESCO listed world heritage sites with one holding natural significance while the other archeological. The penultimate leg of this tour will be a trip to Pokhara followed by that to Bhaktapur and Lalitpur. This, of course, is after we return from Pokhara to Kathmandu. The tours of Bhaktapur and Lalitpur will include trips to the respective durbar squares, both of which are heritage sites. Before long, it would be the end of this tour.
