Kathmandu and Pokhara tour takes you to the land of unparalleled scenic beauty and one of the most diverse geographical regions on earth. It contains an incredible variety of terrain in a relatively small area, ranging from the tropical lowlands of the “Terai” at about 300 ft above sea level to the summit of Mount Everest at 29,035 ft (8,850m). What adds an even more interesting dimension to Nepal is the fact that its friendly people are from over 130 different ethnic groups.
There are few countries in the world that are as well set up for independent travel as Nepal. Wandering the trekking shops, bakeries, and pizzerias of Kathmandu’s tourist hub, Thamel and Pokhara, it’s easy to feel that you have somehow landed in a kind of backpacker Disneyland. Out in the countryside lies a quite different Nepal, where traditional mountain life continues at a slower pace, and a million potential adventures glimmer on the mountain horizons. The biggest problem you might face in Nepal is just how to fit everything in, which is one reason why many people return here over and over again.
Note: The Kathmandu to Pokhara Package tour program is specially designed to provide you with the very best taste of Nepal within a relatively short period of time and at the same time provide you with the opportunity to cover most of the sights and sounds of this intriguing country. Initially starting the trip with exploring Kathmandu Valley’s major attractions, the tour then moves on to the beautiful lakeside town of Pokhara.
