8 days Kathmandu Pokhara Chitwan Tour Highlights
Overview
The Kathmandu-Pokhara-Chitwan tour offers a rich blend of culture, nature, and wildlife, making it one of the most popular travel circuits in Nepal. It starts in Kathmandu, the vibrant capital recognized for its historic shrines, temples, and World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.
In addition to the well-known Durbar Squares in Kathmandu and Patan, visitors can tour ancient sites like Swayambhunath (the Monkey Temple), Pashupatinath, and Boudhanath, all of which highlight the distinctive architecture and lengthy history of Nepal.
The journey then continues to Pokhara, a picturesque lakeside city surrounded by the towering Annapurna range. With attractions like paragliding, zip-lining, and boating on the serene Phewa Lake, Pokhara is a paradise for adventure seekers.
The city serves as a starting point for some of Nepal's most well-traveled hiking routes. Sarangkot, a hilltop west of the city, offers stunning views of the Himalayan peaks at sunrise.
The journey ends at Chitwan, which is home to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Chitwan National Park, which is renowned for its wide variety of species. Here, visitors can go on birding treks, jungle safaris, and canoe rides along the Rapti River, where they may get a close-up look at elusive Bengal tigers, deer, and rhinoceros.
Through village excursions and cultural events, visitors may also take part in cultural exchanges with the local Tharu population and learn about their traditional way of life.
Best Season for Tour to Kathmandu, Pokhara and Chitwan
It is best to plan your trip during the spring, from March to May, or the fall, from September to early December, for the most experience.
During certain times of year, the Kathmandu Valley, Pokhara, and Chitwan National Parks provide some of Nepal's most breathtaking and colorful scenery. The city and its many attractions are set against a beautiful backdrop of lush foliage and blooming flowers.
These are the best seasons to explore the region because of the clear sky and comfortable temperatures. With temperatures ranging from an amazing 20°C to a pleasant 30°C, the three locations make excellent spring and autumn visits due to their tropical environment.
Similarly, the air is crisp and the snowcapped mountains have a diamond-like beauty throughout the winter months of late December to early February. From June to August is considered the summer and rainy season.
