This Nepal 8 day itinerary is ideal for travelers who want a comprehensive taste of Nepal, from historic cities to lush jungles and serene lakesides. Whether you are a culture enthusiast, nature lover, or adventure seeker, this Nepal tour package caters to all.

Your journey begins in Kathmandu, the vibrant capital of Nepal, known for its centuries-old temples, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and rich cultural traditions. In Kathmandu, your tour kicks off with a visit to Swyambhunath Stupa, also called the Monkey Temple, perched on a hilltop overlooking the Kathmandu Valley. This ancient stupa, believed to be over 2,500 years old, offers a spiritual ambiance and panoramic views.

Next, you’ll explore Kathmandu Durbar Square, a historic royal palace complex adorned with intricate woodwork and temples dating back to the Malla period. Here, you’ll also visit Kumari Ghar, the residence of the living goddess Kumari—a unique cultural tradition of Nepal where a young girl is revered as a deity.

Another highlight is Pashupatinath Temple, Nepal’s most sacred Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, situated along the banks of the Bagmati River. A short drive from here takes you to Boudhanath Stupa, one of the world’s largest spherical stupas, a spiritual hub for Tibetan Buddhists with its massive white dome and watching Buddha eyes.

Your cultural journey continues with visits to Patan Durbar Square, famous for its exquisite architecture and artistry and Bhaktapur Durbar Square, known for its well-preserved medieval ambiance, traditional Newari craftsmanship and iconic Nyatapola Temple.

After exploring in the heritage of Kathmandu Valley, your next adventure leads you to Chitwan, located approximately 165 kilometers southwest of Kathmandu. The drive takes about 5 to 6 hours, offering scenic views of rivers, green hills and terraced fields. Chitwan is a haven for wildlife lovers and is home to the famous Chitwan National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, you can enjoy thrilling jungle activities like jeep safaris, canoe rides, bird watching and guided nature walks. The park shelters endangered species like the one-horned rhinoceros, Bengal tiger and gharial crocodile. Besides jungle safaris, Chitwan also offers immersive cultural experiences through visits to local Tharu villages, where you can witness traditional dances and explore the indigenous lifestyle.

From Chitwan, you’ll travel to Pokhara, located about 160 kilometers away—a journey of around 4 to 5 hours through the beautiful mid-hill region. The road trip presents a tapestry of lush forests, rivers and glimpses of rural life. In Pokhara, you are greeted with breathtaking natural beauty and laid-back charm. The highlight of Pokhara is the early morning excursion to Sarangkot Hill, a popular vantage point for viewing the sunrise over the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. The golden hues hitting the snow-capped peaks create an unforgettable spectacle.

Pokhara also offers plenty of sightseeing and leisure options. Enjoy a serene boat ride on Fewa Lake, visit the informative International Mountain Museum to learn about Nepal's mountaineering history and explore David’s Fall and the mysterious Mahendra Cave. Don’t miss the tranquil World Peace Pagoda, a symbol of peace with panoramic views of the lake and mountains.
