Nepal Adventure Tour

After breakfast, we will meet you for a short trek briefing and preparation. Once the orientation is complete, your guided sightseeing tour will begin, covering four UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kathmandu: Kathmandu Durbar Square, the sacred Swyambhunath (Monkey Temple), the grand Boudhanath Stupa, and the revered Pashupatinath Temple.

After breakfast, we leave Kathmandu and begin our scenic drive toward Pokhara, Nepal’s second-largest city and the gateway to the Annapurna region.

On the way, we stop at Chauradi for an exciting rafting experience on the Trishuli River, paddling through fun rapids for about three hours.

Following a riverside lunch, the journey continues along winding hillsides, terraced fields, and traditional villages until we arrive in Pokhara.

After checking into the hotel, the evening offers a relaxing option to enjoy boating on the calm waters of Fewa Lake, where the stunning reflections of Mount Machhapuchhre and the Annapurna Range shimmer against the lake’s surface.

After breakfast, we take a short drive to Birethanti, the starting point of our trek. From here, the trail winds past lush bamboo groves, sparkling waterfalls, and small swimming holes where locals often gather during warmer months.

Crossing a suspension bridge, we begin the long ascent on Ulleri’s famous stone staircase—over 3,300 steps that steadily climb the hillside.

At the top, we arrive in the Magar village of Ulleri, set at 2,080 meters, where traditional stone houses and terraced fields provide a glimpse into the region’s rich cultural life.

Leaving Ulleri, the trail ascends gradually through terraced farmlands and rhododendron forests, offering a refreshing mix of cultivated fields and natural beauty.

After passing a few streams and resting at small tea stops, we continue toward Nangethanti, a pleasant forest clearing where we pause for lunch. From here, the path climbs steadily through dense rhododendron and oak forest, which in spring bursts into brilliant red and pink blossoms.

The final stretch brings us to Ghorepani, a charming Gurung and Magar settlement perched at 2,880 meters. From this vantage point, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of snow-clad peaks including Dhaulagiri I (8,167m), Nilgiri (6,940m), Annapurna I (8,091m), Hiunchuli (6,441m), and Tarke Kang (7,193m).

In winter, parts of the trail may be blanketed in snow, adding a serene, alpine atmosphere to the journey.

Before dawn, we make the short but steep hike to the famous viewpoint of Poon Hill, the crown jewel of this journey.

As the first rays of sunlight sweep across the horizon, an awe-inspiring panorama unfolds—stretching from Dhaulagiri (8,167m) and Annapurna I (8,091m) to Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), and dozens of other snow-draped peaks. The spectacle of golden light washing over the Himalayas is often described as the highlight of the entire trek.

After savoring the view and capturing photographs, we descend to Ghorepani for a hearty breakfast.

From here, the trail leads through enchanting rhododendron and oak forests, alive with birdsong and rich greenery. Gentle ascents and descents carry us across ridges and streams before we reach Tadapani, a small settlement tucked into the forest. This village is famous for its close-up views of Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South, and Hiunchuli, offering yet another unforgettable mountain backdrop.

We begin the day with a breathtaking sunrise from Tadapani, where the first light illuminates Himchuli, Annapurna South, and the distinctive Machhapuchhre, while the Kimrong Valley spreads out beautifully below.

After breakfast, we descend through dense rhododendron and oak forests along a scenic trail that gradually opens to terraced farmlands and traditional Gurung settlements. By midday, we reach the cultural hub of Ghandruk, one of the largest Gurung villages in the Annapurna region.

Here, you’ll have time to explore the village, visit the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) office, and learn about local traditions at the Gurung museum.

Afterward, we drive back to Pokhara, where a comfortable hotel stay and the serene lakeside atmosphere provide a perfect ending to the trek.

After breakfast, we begin our journey south toward Chitwan, home to one of Asia’s most celebrated wildlife reserves.

Upon arrival, you’ll receive a short briefing about the jungle activities planned during your stay. Later in the afternoon, we visit a nearby Tharu village, where you’ll gain insights into the unique culture and traditions of the indigenous Tharu people.

A stop at the National Park Visitor’s Center provides further introduction to the park’s wildlife and conservation history.

As evening approaches, we head to the banks of the Rapti River to enjoy a spectacular sunset over the jungle horizon.

After dinner, the day concludes with either a traditional Tharu cultural dance performance or an informative slideshow presentation on Chitwan’s natural and cultural heritage.

Today is dedicated to exploring the remarkable biodiversity of Chitwan National Park.

Your day begins with a canoe ride along the Rapti River, where you may spot gharials, marsh crocodiles, and a variety of water birds along the banks.

Following this, a guided jungle walk takes you deeper into the forest in search of deer, wild boar, monkeys, and a colorful array of birdlife.

Later in the day, a jeep safari carries you further into the park’s wilderness, offering a chance to encounter the rare one-horned rhinoceros and other fascinating wildlife species.

Bird watching and a nature interpretation walk with your experienced guide round out the experience, providing deeper insights into the park’s diverse ecosystem.

All meals are served at your hotel, and the evening is free to relax and enjoy the tranquil surroundings.

Please note that an elephant safari is not included, as we support responsible tourism and avoid any activity involving wildlife touching or captivity.

After completing our jungle explorations, we bid farewell to Chitwan and begin the drive back to Kathmandu.

The journey takes us along scenic rivers, rolling hills, and rural settlements, offering one last glimpse of Nepal’s diverse landscapes.

Upon arrival in Kathmandu, the afternoon is free for rest, last-minute shopping, or simply relaxing in the lively district of Thamel.

Approximately three hours before your scheduled flight, a representative from Nepal Hiking Team will escort you to Tribhuvan International Airport for your departure. As your journey concludes, you’ll leave Nepal with lasting memories of the mountains, wildlife, and warm hospitality.
