Today, you will have a tour of the Kathmandu valley, starting with the sacred Hindu temple of Pashupatinath. It is considered one of the most sacred shrines dedicated to Lord Pashupatinath. It is located besides the holy Bagmati River, and is also the site where the cremation ceremony of the Hindu people of Kathmandu takes place. You can witness many sadhus in the temple vicinity in bright yellow and red attires and painted faces. This temple complex is on UNESCO World Heritage Sites’ list since 1979.
We will then continue the tour to another one of Kathmandu valley’s holy Buddhist shrines- the Bouddhanath Stupa. With its large Stupa, this is the place where all devout Buddhists come for a pilgrimage. Boudhanath has a very serene atmosphere and the dome of the shrine is considered to be the largest in the world. After completion of these two spots, you will be taken for a visit to Patan.
Also known as Lalitpur, the city of beauty is separated from Kathmandu only by the Bagmati River. It is the second largest town in the valley. Lalitpur is fragmented from other cities due to its substantive architectural ancient masterpieces. Patan’s central Durbar Square is also ornamented with many beautiful temples. Within the city also lies the Tibetan refugee center, home to most of the valley’s Tibetan population. While technically refugees, the Tibetans are some of the wealthiest people in the valley because of the carpet industry they operate. For those looking to bring home a fine Tibetan carpet, this is the place to shop.
You will then visit the Swayambhunath Stupa- another important UNESCO World Heritage Site. The golden spire of the 5th-century Swayambhunath Stupa is adorned with a colorful fluttering of prayer flags; it crowns a hill overlooking the Kathmandu Valley and offers fantastic views over the city of Kathmandu. Swayambhunath is one of the most recognizable symbols in Nepal and the painted eyes of Buddha watch all who ascend the worn stone steps.
Later, you will have a drive to Nagarkot. On the way to Nagarkot at 17 kilometers, we will also stop for a tour of Bhaktapur. Perhaps the least changed of all the cities in the Kathmandu Valley harboring a distinct medieval feel- Bhaktapur is like an open museum of arts and crafts displayed out on the streets. Pottery and weaving are still traditional industries here. Architectural wonders abound, you can have a look at the ancient city’s Palace of Fifty-Five Windows, the Golden Gate and the magnificent five-storey pagoda-style Nyatapola Temple. We will then proceed to Nagarkot.
Situated 32 kilometers, 1.5 hour’s drive east of Kathmandu at an altitude of 2,175 meters, Nagarkot is a perfect getaway destination close to Kathmandu. The panoramic view of the major peaks, including Mount Everest can be seen from here. This place is also famous for viewing the sunrise and sunset from its famous view tower.Overnight stay at Hotel.

Today, we will have a gorgeous drive to Pokhara touching Kathmandu on the outskirts as we move to the famed city. Pokhara is 236 kilometers from Nagarkot and is a 7 hours’ drive approx. From Pokhara town (2,352 feet) in good weather, there are splendid views right from the hotel.
On the way, we will also visit the Manakamana Temple- a temple dedicated to the “Goddess of Fulfilling Wishes” where you take a cable car ride of 9 minutes. The cable car ride is quite thrilling as it goes over the laden terrain of the Manakamana hill and you get amazing views of the sprawling pastures below.

This morning, you will go for an excursion trip to Sarangkot. The most popular tourist destination from where you can enjoy the great views of the Pokhara Valley and the magnificent view of the mountains, Sarangkot is the highest view point for a sunrise. Paragliding can also be done from Sarangkot. From Sarangkot, on the northern direction- we can see Dhaulagiri Himal, and the Annapurna range is also visible when the weather is clear on the same side. On the southern direction, the village overlooks the city of Pokhara and its lake on the city’s north-western outskirts.
In the afternoon, you will visit the Bindabasini Temple. This is one of the oldest temples in Pokhara; the main deity of the temple- Goddess Durga, was brought from India. Apart from the peace and tranquility that can be felt in this region, the premises of the temple offers a good view of the Himalaya on a clear day. The temple is in the area of the bazaar; hence, a journey of the old bazaar can be combined with a visit to the temple. The sightseeing then continues on to Devi’s Fall, also known as Patale Chango- an awesome waterfall lying 2 km southwest of Pokhara. During the summer and the rainy season, the waterfall takes its real form, with gushing water splashing and making its way through the rocks. Just opposite of Devi’s fall, on the other side of the road, there is the Gupteshwor Cave. This cave is popular for different natural forms of limestone deposits. Photography is strictly prohibited inside the cave.
