Golden Triangle Tour of Nepal: Kathmandu, Chitwan & Pokhara – 8 Days | Private or Group Join

Start & end in Kathmandu 8 days Up to 20

About this trip

Eight days across Nepal's three classic stops: Kathmandu's temple-dense old city, the jungle of Chitwan National Park, and the lakeside calm of Pokhara. It's a straightforward way to cover culture, wildlife, and mountain views without trying to do too much in one go.

Kathmandu gives you the UNESCO sites and temple life, Chitwan switches things up with jeep safaris and canoe rides, and Pokhara slows the pace down with lake views and a sunrise trip to Sarangkot.

Runs as either a private or group-join tour, with a choice of 3-star or 4-star accommodation, so it works whether you're travelling solo, as a couple, or with family.

What you'll do

  • Visit Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa and Swayambhunath in Kathmandu
  • Jeep safari and canoe ride in Chitwan National Park
  • Birdwatching and a traditional Tharu cultural performance in Chitwan
  • Sunrise over the Himalayas from Sarangkot
  • Wander the shores of Phewa Lake and visit Davis Falls in Pokhara
Good to know
  • Choice of private or group-join format, and 3-star or 4-star accommodation
  • Covers three distinct regions in 8 days, so expect a change of scene every couple of days
  • Suits solo travellers, couples, families and small groups alike
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want guides who genuinely care and a smooth, well-organised trip covering nature and culture. Think twice if you expect deep exploration of Kathmandu or Pokhara beyond the basics.

  • Guides named Hari, Punam, Pradip, and Manoj consistently went above and beyond, even organising medical emergencies mid-trip.
  • Hotels clean and comfortable, food excellent, transport reliable, and the company responds quickly to booking questions.
  • Kathmandu and Pokhara get squeezed into the itinerary; you'll see highlights but miss deeper exploration compared to Armenia or Georgia trips of similar length.
  • Chitwan's activities are packed and varied, but expect a high-paced tour rather than leisurely days in cities.
