Kathmandu Pokhara Chitwan Tour is the perfect tour package for those who wish to experience the natural beauty and diversity of Nepal. The tour starts in the historic and culturally rich capital, Kathmandu, continues to the enchanting lakeside city of Pokhara and ends at Chitwan, known for its lush forests and diverse wildlife.

Kathmandu

Kathmandu is not only the political capital, but also the center of culture and history in Nepal. The city is home to countless temples, shrines, stupas, monasteries, palaces and more spread out throughout the valley. As it isn’t possible to fully explore the capital in a single day, we will visit only the major UNESCO World Heritage Sites on our tour. Starting with the holy Hindu temple of Pashupatinath, it is a temple complex with historical ties and origin myths that date it back over a millennia. The Buddhist counterpart to Pashupatinath is Boudhanath, one of the largest Buddhist stupas in the world. Swayambhunath is a fascinating mixture of both Hindu and Buddhist cultures and architecture, with its origins tied to the start of life in the valley itself. The old palaces of the capital, the Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Patan Durbar Squares are also amazing pieces of Nepali architecture.

Pokhara

Blessed with unmatched natural beauty, Pokhara is the center of tourism in Nepal. The city is situated right beside the Phewa Lake, between numerous snowcapped peaks like Annapurna, Machhapuchhare and more. Viewpoints like Sarangkot and Poon Hill bring out the best of this immense natural beauty, particularly during sunrise and sunsets. Pokhara is also the go-to spot for adventure sports in Nepal, such as paragliding, bungee jumping, ultra flights and more! Our tour will also take us through the various popular attractions around Pokhara such as World Peace Pagoda, Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave and Temple, Tibetan Refugee Camp, Tal Barahi Tempe, Davis Falls, Mahendra Cave, Bindhyabasini Cave etc.

Chitwan

In addition to Pokhara, Chitwan is another must-visit location for nature enthusiasts in Nepal. As the first National Park of Nepal, the Chitwan National Park is home to a diverse variety of plants, birds and animals. The major and rare species in this sanctuary include the Bengal Tiger, One horned Rhinoceros, Asian Elephants, Clouded Leopards, Bengal Florican, Spotted Eagles, Peacocks, Dolphins, Gharials and more. Jungle Safari via jeep or on elephant-back is the most popular activity in the Chitwan National Park. Apart from this, bird watching, rafting, the Tharu community cultural tour etc. comprise the other popular activities in Chitwan.

Best Season for Kathmandu Pokhara Chitwan Tour

Unlike trekking, the season isn’t a major thing to consider when going for a tour in Nepal. However, some periods are certainly better than others depending on your preferences. We recommend spring (March – May) and autumn (September – November) as the best periods for the Kathmandu Pokhara Chitwan Tour. These are the peak seasons for tourism in Nepal as they have the pleasant and stable weather with generally clear views.

With that said, winter is also a good time if you wish to enjoy superb views of mountains from Sarangkot. Similarly, monsoon is a good time for nature enthusiasts who wish to experience the lush forests of Chitwan in full bloom.

It is regarded as one of the holiest Hindu temples and attracts hundreds of thousands of devotees every year, particularly during the festive occasions of Teej and Shivaratri. After observing the morning prayers and some ongoing rituals for a while, we will move on to the nearby chaitya of Boudhanath. It is one of the largest Buddhist stupas in the world and the environment surrounding this location is amazing. The whole area around Boudha is home to various other small and large monasteries constructed by devotees.

After breakfast near Boudhanath, we will move on to our third UNESCO World Heritage Site, Swayambhunath. This stupa complex, perched on top of a hill, is also fantastic vantage point which lets you view most of the Kathmandu valley. Once we spend some time here and explore the various Hindu and Buddhist shrines here, we will head back to our hotel. Considering we have enough time, we will also have a brief visit to the old palace of Kathmandu, the Kathmandu Durbar Square.
