Cultural Heritage & Nature Experiences Tour

Eight days across Kathmandu, Chitwan and Pokhara, covering Nepal's temples, wildlife and lakeside scenery in one go. It suits anyone who wants a broad first look at the country rather than deep time in any one place.

Kathmandu opens the trip with its UNESCO sites — from the cremation ghats at Pashupatinath to the hilltop stupa at Swoyambunath. From there you head to Chitwan National Park for wildlife and Tharu culture, then on to Pokhara for lake views and short excursions around Sarangkot.

It's a well-rounded introduction to Nepal's culture and nature side by side, moving at a fair pace given the ground covered in just over a week.
