Kathmandu, Chitwan, Lumbini & Pokhara

Thirteen days across Nepal, covering old cities, hill villages, jungle and lake country in one route. You move between Kathmandu, Nagarkot, Bhaktapur, Chitwan, Lumbini, Pokhara, Bandipur and Gorkha, so there's a lot of ground and a lot of contrast — temples one day, wildlife the next, mountain views after that.

It suits people who want a proper overview rather than one region in depth. Expect early starts for sunrise views, guided walks through heritage sites, a jungle safari, and quieter time in Pokhara and the village of Bandipur to slow the pace down.

This is a private, fully guided trip, so the schedule and pace can flex a bit for your group, and it works for families as well as solo travellers wanting things arranged for them.
