Kathmandu & Pokhara Holiday Tour

Six days across two of Nepal's most-visited cities, mixing Kathmandu's temples and heritage sites with a lakeside stretch in Pokhara and a night up in the hills at Nagarkot for Himalayan views.

You start in Kathmandu, taking in Pashupatinath, the Monkey Temple, and Bhaktapur Durbar Square, before heading up to Nagarkot in time for sunset over the mountains. From there it's on to Pokhara via the Manakamana cable car, with time around Sarangkot and the lakeside city's temples, waterfalls, and caves.

It's an easy-paced sightseeing tour rather than a trek — good if you want a first look at Nepal's culture and mountain views without long days on the trail.
