A quick briefing of the itinerary

Our representative will then assist you to your hotel in Kathmandu, thus providing a safe and easy transfer. On reaching the hotel, they have leisure time and explore the Hotel and the city for the rest of the evening.

You will visit world heritage sites inside Kathmandu Valley the following morning as we have planned for a Full-day Sightseeing tour in Kathmandu City.

First, you will ascend to the Swyambhunath Stupa, which is known as the Monkey Temple, and from here, you will be able to view the city. Next, you will change your tour guide to visit the most sacred Temple, known as Pashupatinath Temple, which is also an important pilgrimage Temple for Hindus. You proceed to the Great Boudhanath Stupa, perhaps the largest stupa outside Tibet. Finally, you will go for the Human touch with the Kathmandu Durbar Square tour that will give you a view of ancient architecture and cultural value. After this adventure, you will take a journey overland to Pokhara, where the next part of your amazing tour will take place.

In Pokhara, you are to have a guided tour of the city for a full day, starting with a picturesque morning drive to Sarangkot to view the magnificent sunrise over the Himalayas. Following this, visit the peaceful Bindabasini Temple before proceeding to marvel at the mystery and beauty of the Mahendra Cave.

Proceeding further with your tour, you will proceed towards Lumbini – the sacred place of birth of Siddhartha Gautam, also known as Buddha. In and around Lumbini, you will be able to visit several holy shrines, the most important of which is the Mayadevi Temple – the place where Prince Siddhartha was born – and the Ashoka Pillar, which was put up by Emperor Ashok to register his visit to this birthplace of Lord Buddha.

Your next stop is Chitwan, where you will be looking forward to doing several interesting things. Here, you will have the opportunity for a jeep tour through the Chitwan National Park, where several varieties of wildlife, including rhinos, tigers, and a rich bird life, prevail. Also, you will be taken for a quiet and peaceful boat ride across the Rapti River so you can appreciate the beauty of the area as far as animal and plant life is concerned.

When Are The Perfect Times To Book This Nepal Tour?

If you are looking for the best time, then the answer is Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November).

Travellers‘ Reviews

Read our genuine feedback from past travelers with Nepal Hiking Team sourced from TripAdvisor, Google, Facebook, and Trustpilot.

  • Exciting and most memorable experience

    Experience of a lifetime! Leading up to the trip, I felt some excitement and uncertainty because I was traveling from New Jersey to Nepal, so it was a trip to the other side of the world. Also knowing we were going to trek to the highest region in the world.

    Once we arrived in Kathmandu, we met up with our guide (Bhim). After a few minutes of talking with him, I felt a sense of calm and my excitement of joy grew from there. And I was right he and his team made sure we had the best experience possible.

    The full trek going and coming was incredible. Our guide, Bhim, made sure we had the best experience. Can’t say enough of how wonderful he and his team made this one for the books!

    I highly recommend booking with this company and Bhim! Namaste!

  • Solo Traveler

    I just completed trekking in Nepal together with another solo traveler. The service of Nepal Hiking Team was exemplary from the start till the end. Nothing beats word-of-mouth good reviews. 

    Mr. Ganga has been very responsive to queries from Day 1 and was physically present even on the last day to officially close the loop for the package tour.

    Our guide Bibek was very patient and sincere as he led us through the trek. He resolved issues with his heart and people skills and gave assurance whenever plans suddenly changed.

    He ensured things were changed for the better. Our porter, Rajendran, was also good and always arrived ahead of time to ensure our rooms were confirmed.

  • Amazing experience thanks to our 5-star guide/porter team

    We had the best time in Nepal. The beautiful views and warm hospitality of the Nepali people are truly unparalleled.

    Instrumental to our amazing experience were our guide, Netra, and porter, Vasu.

    We were super well taken care of. Netra was quick to assess our physical abilities and was able to effectively set the pace for our hikes. He had very good knowledge of the route and terrain. Importantly, this was our first time attempting a hike at a high altitude, so he took extra care to check on us regularly.

    On a personal note, proper gear, including a powerful down jacket for -20 degrees Celsius and a proper hiking backpack, is super essential.

    Overall, I would highly recommend the Nepal Hiking Team and Netra/Vasu for your Nepal adventure!

  • Fabulous Trip – Excited for Many More with NHT

    We were a group of 17 people from California who had been preparing for a year for this trip. Nepal Hiking Team was referred to us by one of my friends. After talking to & interviewing several companies, NHT seemed very responsive, cost-effective & experienced. After the trip, they proved us nothing less.

    Their guides are top-of-the-line, very kind, and helpful. They made sure we all were prepared for the next day, set our expectations rights, & guided us through managing altitude sickness.

    We all made it to Nepal and came back happy and healthy.

    We all thank NHT for making our dream come true, and looking forward to many more with them.

  • Highest praise for Nepal Hiking Team

    I highly recommend the Nepal Hiking Team for anyone planning to trek in Nepal. My spouse and I had a fantastic time on our trek and greatly credit our positive experience to the thought and care put into it by Nepal Hiking Team in coming up with a personalized plan that would enable us to succeed.

    Every detail was considered to match us based on our abilities and interests. We also could not have felt more cared for minute to minute by the team that supported us from the minute we arrived in Kathmandu until our departure.

    Our guide, Nim, was amazing -- so careful, thoughtful, warm, and supportive. And our porters, Sabin and Ganesh, were delightful. They were all unbelievably generous in terms of how much they worked to ensure we were comfortable and prepared. They thought of every detail along the way.
