Upon your arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, a friendly representative from Hidden Path Treks & Expeditions will warmly welcome you to Nepal and assist with your hotel transfer. After checking in, take some time to relax after your journey. Depending on your arrival time, you can explore the vibrant streets of Thamel, known for its colorful shops, cafes, and local crafts. In the evening, you’ll receive a short briefing about your upcoming adventure.
Start your day with a traditional Nepali breakfast before heading out on a guided sightseeing tour of the historical and cultural landmarks of Kathmandu Valley. Visit Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple), an ancient hilltop shrine offering panoramic views of the city. Continue to Pashupatinath Temple, one of the holiest Hindu temples in South Asia, located along the banks of the Bagmati River. Afterward, explore Boudhanath Stupa—an important site for Tibetan Buddhism—and wrap up the day at the historic Kathmandu Durbar Square. Return to your hotel for a relaxing evening.
After breakfast, depart for Pokhara—Nepal’s adventure and lake city. Choose between a scenic 6–7 hour drive through the hills and along rivers, or a short 30-minute flight offering stunning views of the Himalayas. Once in Pokhara, check into your hotel and take some time to relax. Later, you can enjoy a peaceful walk around Phewa Lake, where you’ll find charming cafes and spectacular views of the Annapurna range reflected in the water.
Wake up early for a sunrise excursion to Sarangkot, a hilltop viewpoint offering breathtaking views of the Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Machapuchare (Fishtail) mountains. Return to the hotel for breakfast, then continue your Pokhara city tour. Visit Davis Falls, Gupteshwor Cave, and the International Mountain Museum, where you’ll learn about mountaineering history and Himalayan culture. Later, take a boat ride on Phewa Lake and visit the Barahi Temple in the middle of the lake. Enjoy your evening at leisure in the lakeside area.
After breakfast, leave Pokhara for Chitwan, a 5–6 hour drive through scenic plains and traditional villages. Upon arrival, check in to your jungle lodge or resort located near Chitwan National Park—Nepal’s first and most famous wildlife sanctuary. After a welcome drink and lunch, take a short guided walk to explore the surrounding area. In the evening, enjoy a cultural program featuring traditional Tharu dance and music.
Today is devoted to experiencing the diverse ecosystem of Chitwan National Park. Begin your adventure with an early morning jungle safari by jeep or, optionally, on elephant-back. Keep your eyes peeled for rhinos, deer, wild boar, monkeys, and, if lucky, the elusive Bengal tiger. Later, enjoy a canoe ride on the Rapti River, where you might spot crocodiles and a variety of bird species. Visit the elephant breeding center and learn about conservation efforts. In the evening, relax at your lodge and reflect on your wildlife experiences.
Depending on your flight schedule, you may have some free time for last-minute shopping or relaxation. A representative from Hidden Path Treks & Expeditions will transfer you to Tribhuvan International Airport for your onward flight. We hope your journey through Nepal’s natural and cultural treasures was unforgettable, and we look forward to welcoming you again!
