Trip Overview
This trip follows will let you deep dive into the culture of Nepal and visit different temples, monasteries, and historical places. The fun starts after you land in Nepal and you will be amazed to explore Kathmandu. We'll spend the evening seeing a neighborhood market in Kathmandu. Kathmandu is one of the top sightseeing places in the world as it has multiple world heritage sites and there are a lot of short hiking trips that can be performed from Kathmandu.
We'll travel to Chitwan National Park the next day. We'll float down the Trishuli River en route to get our hearts racing.

After that, we'll participate in a cultural activity at a typical Tharu village. From here we will go to Lumbini, the birthplace of Siddartha Gautam (Gautam Buddha). Here we feel peace and visit the Mayadevi temple, the Ashoka Pillar, & more.
We will continue our journey and go on to Pokhara when we have finished exploring Lumbini. We will get up close to the Himalayas and take in the greatest views of the entire journey in this breathtakingly beautiful mountain hamlet.
