Kathmandu and Pokhara Tour

The Kathmandu Pokhara tour is one of Nepal's best short getaways. The journey takes you across two gorgeous valleys, with strange mountain views in the distance. Pokhara is known for its breathtaking natural beauty, whereas Kathmandu is known for its rich culture and old cultural sites.

The most popular valleys on the southern Himalayan slopes are Kathmandu and Pokhara. While Kathmandu is Nepal's cultural capital, Pokhara, with three gorgeous lakes nearby, offers the greatest of Himalayan views. For people with limited time, the Kathmandu Pokhara tour is the ideal Nepal tour. Short treks or day walks from Kathmandu or Pokhara provide a better understanding of Nepalese rural life.

The journey could be tailored to last four days or longer. From both Kathmandu and Pokhara, adventure activities such as paragliding, bungee jumping, helicopter flights to base camps, and Everest sightseeing flights are available to see the Himalayas. The 6-day Nepal travel package includes sightseeing at UNESCO World Heritage Sites in and around Kathmandu, as well as a nature tour of Pokhara, with views of the dawn from Sarangkot and the sunset from the World Peace Pagoda.

MONEY & CREDIT CARD INFO    

Most of the credit card, master and visa card is blocked from your card provider. It may be because of a security reason. It, sometimes, may bring you in a problematic situation that you can't get money from ATMs. To find yourself free from this problem, you can call your card provider before you travel to Nepal and inform there that you are traveling to Nepal. Ensure them to give the authorization for the payment. In Nepal, 3.5 % service charge is applicable as per Nepal Bank rules, on top of your payable amount for the trek cost. So, we suggest you bring some cash in USD just in case your card doesn’t work. Likewise, be sure you have brought some small amount for your daily expenses as well as for those items which are not included in our cost. If you want to exchange money, we provide you with the facility to change your money. Or, you can take help from Money Changers in Thamel.

Especially, your travel insurance must protect air ambulance, treatment charges, rescue and evacuation, product cancellation and refundable charges, flight delay, and cancellations.

Insurance Policy:

Traveling in the Himalayas is full of adventurous; hence it is wise to choose a proper insurance policy. While choosing your insurance policy, make sure that it will protect all such unforeseen expenses. You must ensure that the policy you do take provides an adequate level of protection, well familiar with your itinerary and covers you for the activities involved. You must carry proof of insurance (e.g. your insurance certificate) with you on the holiday or send us a scanned copy and it must be issued from your homeland.

VACCINATION FOR NEPAL    

Travelers should consult with their physician or update on vaccination requirements before travel. (Your doctor or the health-care provider will determine what you will need, depending on factors such as your health and immunization history, areas of the country you will be visiting, and planned activities). For traveling to Nepal, we recommend you to take vaccination of Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Rabies, etc. However, it is not mandatory but recommended.

ALTITUDE SICKNESS (ACUTE MOUNTAIN SICKNESS)

Altitude sickness, also known as AMS (acute mountain sickness), is caused by a lack of oxygen at high altitudes (normally above 3,000m). It occurs as the result of our bodies’ inability to adapt to a sudden increase in altitude. If given time, our bodies will adjust and a gradual ascent will decrease the possibility of altitude sickness. 

PREVENTION OF AMS: Go slowly, drink a lot of water, and pay attention to the sensations of your body. If symptoms occur you have climbed too far for the day. Rest at the same altitude will give you time to acclimatize and usually relieve mild symptoms. 

MILD SYMPTOMS: Headache, nausea, loss of appetite, and mild shortness of breath with minimal exertion, difficulty sleeping, dizziness or lightheadedness, mild weakness, fatigue, a general unwell feeling. 

SERIOUS SYMPTOMS: The inability to recover from shortness of breath with rest, severe persistent headache, low urine output, vomiting, confusion, delirium, loss of coordination. These require immediate descent as acclimatization will not take place at the same altitude. 

The key is to trek slowly, carry a light pack and just take it easy. Allow your body the time it needs to acclimatize.

ARRIVAL INSTRUCTION

Upon your arrival at TIA International Airport, our company's representatives are stationed to pick you up. They will be holding your name sign along with the company's name in it. Our office representative will escort you to your hotel in Kathmandu.

Best Short Tour of my Life !!!

Alpha Adventure Treks provided the best and most professional service. We went on a Kathmandu and Pokhara tour with them in March 2020, and they had excellent hotels in both Kathmandu and Pokhara. The driver was courteous and helpful, and all pickups and drops were completed on schedule. Alpha Adventures is a game that I recommend to everyone.

Incredible Experience !!!

This is a great opportunity for non-mountaineers to get up close and personal with the Himalayas, including Everest. You'd have the most amazing day of your life.

- Beverly J. ( )
Amazing Nepal Tour

Alpha Adventure Treks took me on a Nepal excursion. They provided outstanding service throughout my trip; I had a wonderful experience in Nepal, and my favorite parts were watching the sunrise and riding an elephant.

- Roger L. ( )
Highly Recommended !!!

A terrific experience with a knowledgable and articulate guide who will take you on a comfortable and detailed tour of the attractions. The guide did not rush us or put us under any strain at any of the four stops. It was unquestionably the highlight of our trip to Kathmandu. Strongly suggested!!

- Robert Jr. ( )
Himalaya without the pesky walking!

Beautiful tourist spot on the outskirts of Kathmandu with views of the Himalaya from Annapurna to Sagarmatha. For the best chance of clear skies, go early in the morning. A cable car trip provides spectacular views of Kathmandu.

- Chris D. ( )
A perfect first impression of Nepal

We had such a wonderful time in Nepal thanks to Era and crew, who organized a tailor-made trip that combined the beauty of the mountains, the wildness of the jungle, and the fascinating culture within the country. We loved it! They took our wishes into account (some planned, some last-minute!) and made everything possible.
Our guide, Suman, was very patient, attentive, and understanding when our tummies disagreed with the itinerary. We are sorry we were unable to do more with him!
Our driver got us safely (and with considerable skill) to our destinations.
Communication was quick and heartfelt before, during, and afterward.
We'll definitely book with you again in 2024!

Great Trip to Nepal

I recently had the most amazing experience touring Nepal with Alpha Adventure Treks. From start to finish, their team provided exceptional service and made sure our trip was unforgettable. The itinerary was well-planned, allowing us to explore the best of Nepal's stunning landscapes and cultural heritage. The knowledgeable guides shared fascinating insights about the history, traditions, and local customs. The accommodations were comfortable, and the food provided was delicious. Whether we were trekking in the Himalayas or visiting ancient temples in Kathmandu, every moment was filled with awe and wonder. I highly recommend Alpha Adventure Treks for anyone looking to have a truly immersive and memorable Nepal tour.

Great management lovely trip

I recently returned from a Nepal tour organized by Alpha Adventure Treks, and I can't express how satisfied I am with their services. The entire trip was flawlessly executed, thanks to their professional and experienced team. The trekking routes were carefully chosen, offering breathtaking views of the Himalayan mountains and allowing us to witness the beauty of nature up close. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to lend a helping hand. The accommodations during the trek were comfortable, and the teahouses provided a warm and welcoming environment. Alpha Adventure Treks truly knows how to create an authentic and adventurous experience in Nepal.
