Trip Introduction

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.
