Highlights

Overview

In this “Wonders of Nepal” circuit, we will explore the essence of this fascinating country, where nature, culture, and spirituality blend in perfect harmony. Our journey begins in Kathmandu, the medieval capital of Nepal, where we’ll discover the splendid palaces of the Malla dynasty, ancient Hindu and Buddhist temples, and lively bazaars that capture the vibrant life of the valley. We will visit iconic landmarks such as Swayambhunath (the Monkey Temple), Kathmandu Durbar Square, Pashupatinath, one of the most sacred Hindu temples, and the great stupas of Boudhanath and Patan, true centers of Buddhist art and devotion.

We continue to Bhaktapur, a beautifully preserved medieval town famous for its red-brick architecture, exquisite wood carvings, and timeless atmosphere. The journey then takes us into the tropical wilderness of Chitwan National Park, once the royal hunting reserve of the Rana rulers. Here, we embark on an exciting jungle safari to spot the one-horned rhinoceros, Bengal tiger, crocodiles, and a wide variety of exotic birdlife.

Next, we travel to Pokhara, a natural paradise nestled among serene lakes and towering mountains. From the viewpoint of Sarangkot, we witness one of the world’s most breathtaking sunrises over the Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, and the sacred Machhapuchhre (Fishtail Mountain) ranges. We also enjoy a tranquil boat ride on Phewa Lake, visit waterfalls, mysterious caves, and admire the picturesque surroundings that make Pokhara an unforgettable destination.

This journey is an invitation to experience the natural beauty, cultural richness, and spiritual depth of Nepal — the perfect introduction to the land of Everest and the mystical Himalayas, ideal for families, couples, and adventure seekers alike.

Bandipur was established as a funneling point of trade by Newar traders from Bhaktapur in the Kathmandu valley after it had been conquered in 1768 by Prithvi Narayan Shah. They took advantage of its malaria free location to develop it into an important stop along the India-Tibet trade route. With them they brought their cultural heritage and architecture which basically has remained unchanged to this day.
