Introduction

Kathmandu Pokhara Private Sightseeing Tour is one of Nepal’s best sightseeing trips. The journey takes you around two breathtaking valleys, with breathtaking mountains, and lake views in the sight. Kathmandu is well known for its rich cultural heritage and historical sites. While Pokhara is popular for its captivating natural beauty. Firstly, see the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kathmandu Valley – Durbar Squares, Swayambhunath, Boudhanath, and Pashupatinath temple. Also, a scenic drive to reach the beautiful hill of Sarangkot, one of the sunrise and sunset views over the panoramic snowy peaks.

A city that was formerly Nepal’s royal capital, Kathmandu is a center for Nepalese aristocratic palaces, residences, and gardens. It is renowned for having a rich historical, visually appealing, cultural, and economic significance. Hindus and Buddhists make up a sizeable portion of the city’s population. And religious and cultural events play a vital role in the lives of its citizens. Equally important, Kathmandu houses multiple World Heritage places, including Durbar Square, Swyambhunath, Boudhanath, Pashupatinath, and other holy places. In addition to that, Kathmandu is a popular tourist destination that serves as the entrance to the Himalayas. It also includes several of Nepal’s major World Heritage Sites.

Pokhara is the tourist capital city in Central Nepal. It serves as the starting point of the popular Annapurna Circuit Trek and all other trekking in the Annapurna Conservation Region. The place is perfect for a relaxed weekend escape or extended holiday because of the stunning views of the Annapurna range. It is a Jewel of the Himalayas with breathtaking natural beauty. And a magnificent backdrop of snow-capped mountains, azure lakes, and lush vegetation, and hills.

With its three main lakes, Pewa, Rupa, and Begnas Lakes, and its stunning backdrop of the Annapurna Mountains, Pokhara is the perfect spot for relaxation. On Phewa Lake island, there is a two-story pagoda Tal Barahi Temple. One can reach here doing boat riding on a serene lake. On the east coast, the Lakeside region is home to eateries and yoga studios. The International Mountain Museum, located south of the city, features displays of the Himalayan people and climbing history. The Shanti Stupa and Lord Shiva Statue in Pumdikot Hill serve as viewpoints offering spectacular views of the lakes and the majestic Annapurna Ranges.

First Trip of Nepal

Had the most wonderful and life changing experience with Trekkers paradise. I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Mr. Sharma (owner) who had accompanied me as my guide throughout my adventure. They had planned everything so well and truly make you feel like family. Be it every step of the way from paragliding, jungle safari, canoe ride, trek through the jungle, mountain trek Mr. Sharma is truly amazing guide, photographer and wonderful motivator. It goes without saying that your guide is your doorway to experiencing everything about the beautiful country you visit. Be it food, shopping, adventure or pleasure.

The Absolute Best There Is !!

I’ve been to 28 different countries and countless safaris over the world- let me tell you that this is the standard for every other safari I’ve been on since! The attention to detail, the absolute love and care of the guides, and the tour operator’s genuine wish for you to have the best experience possible made this one of the most amazing tours/safaris I’ve been on. It was just as amazing to meet the locals and meet the Tharu people as it was to see the rhino and to be close up with an elephant!! (And That tiger that kept in front of our raft to cross the river!!) As an experienced traveler, take my word that you will have a genuinely wild and carefree adventure!!!🤩🥳

Mesmerizing Tour to Kathmandu, Pokhara & Chitwan
In November 2019, I came with my family for a 2-week city tour of Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan wildlife safari. It was great to see Mr. Ghanshyam after such a long time. In Kathmandu, we visit world heritage sites like Swyambhunath, Boudhanath, Pashupatinath Temple, and Bhaktapur Durbar Square, among others. Pokhra is the best place in Nepal to visit and even one of the most beautiful places in the world. Visit Devi's Fall, Phewa Lake, the World Peace Pagoda, Sarangkot, and a variety of adventure activities. The chitwan national park 4 days safari was mesmerizing experience ever. Overall, I would recommend Trekkers Paradise for everyone looking for a good value tour with flexible timings and experienced and knowledgeable guides. Thank you for your time and generosity, and I hope to see you again soon.
