About this trip
A short, straightforward loop through Nepal's main draws: Kathmandu, Pokhara and Chitwan, covering the country's mountains, lakes and jungle in a week without much time to spare.
You'll get a scenic drive to Pokhara for lake views and optional adventure activities, a day of sightseeing around Davis Falls and the World Peace Pagoda, then on to Chitwan for a jungle safari and elephant breeding centre visit before heading back to Kathmandu for some free time and shopping.
It's a budget-friendly, easy-paced introduction to Nepal rather than a deep dive into any one place — good if you want a taste of the country's highlights on a tight timeframe.
What you'll do
- Drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara along a scenic 6-hour route
- Explore Pokhara's lakeside, with optional paragliding or ziplining
- Visit Davis Falls and the World Peace Pagoda
- Jungle safari and walk in Chitwan
- Visit an elephant breeding centre
- Free afternoon for shopping in Kathmandu before departure
- Guided service is only provided for the activities listed in the inclusions, not throughout
- Itinerary order and activities can change depending on local conditions
- A guaranteed departure, so the trip runs even with a small or single-traveller group
Worth it if you're a first-timer to Asia wanting seamless logistics and genuinely invested guides. Think twice if you need flexibility with last-minute itinerary changes mid-trek.
- Guides speak fluent English, are genuinely knowledgeable, and create a familial group dynamic that transforms from team to close friends.
- Ajay and team handle logistical chaos professionally—airport pickups, hotel coordination, activity planning, flight rebooking during emergencies—without visible stress.
- Food quality, teahouse standards, and porter care stand out; reviewers specifically praised meals and sleeping arrangements during multi-day treks.
- Staff provide Nepalese SIM cards and remain contactable during free time, though this suggests trips have built-in downtime rather than constant activity.
