Nepal and Tibet Tour

You will start your tour of Kathmandu after breakfast. This implies that your day starts early. You first take an excursion to Patan in order to see the Patan Durbar Square structure and its works of art.

One of the most famous sites in the ancient city of Lalitpur is Patan Durbar Square, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The ‘City of Devotees,’ Bhaktapur, is the next destination you drive to.

Residents congregate at this UNESCO-listed location, which is the city’s centre, for celebrations, rituals, and cultural activities. Ancient artifacts and modern masterpieces are among the varied collection of artworks on display at the Bhaktapur National Art Gallery.

You will stop in Kathmandu Durbar Square, also called Basantapur and Hanuman Dhoka, if you have time. There, you will see the exquisite Taleju Temple, which is devoted to the living goddess Kumari Devi and the goddess Taleju Bhawani.

You make your way back to the hotel through the streets of  Thamel after spending the entire day touring Kathmandu’s historical and cultural sites.

A beautiful trip to Pokhara, a city surrounded by stunning scenery, begins this day. It can take up to seven hours to travel the little over 200 km by road between Kathmandu and Pokhara. The route may pass through stunning valleys, cascading rivers, and majestic, snow-capped summits.

The Manakamana Temple, Nepal’s notorious pilgrimage site, is also accessible along the route. It is situated atop a hill and offers a panoramic view of the Annapurna. You will check into the hotel and rest for a little while after arriving in Pokhara.

Later, you may take a boat ride on Phewa Lake and take a strolling tour of the lakeside market. In the middle of a bustling city, this serene freshwater lake offers a relaxing environment.

A Pokhara trip includes a visit to natural locations where you may see the Himalayas at dawn and dusk. Early in the morning is when your trip for today starts. Before starting your sightseeing tour, you will eat a wonderful buffet breakfast.

To see the dawn creating an unearthly spectacle for you, you will pave the way to Sarangkot hill station, which offers 360-degree unhindered views of the Himalayas drenched in golden light.

After that, you make your way to the International Mountain Museum to view some of the equipment used by the first expedition parties in the Nepal Himalayas. Your next destination will be Davi’s Falls.

For the adventure of a lifetime, you will go to the mysterious Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave, a hallowed Hindu pilgrimage site. It’s a great area to spend some quality time away from the typical bustling locations.

Located atop Ananda Hill, the Shanti Stupa is a Buddhist religious monument in the shape of a pagoda. You also visit the World Peace Pagoda, commonly known as Shanti Stupa. You shouldn’t pass up the chance to see Mahendra Gupha.

Along with the stunning scenery of little villages, verdant hillsides, and terraced fields, you journey to Chitwan early in the morning. The Chitwan National Park is located about 155 km from Pokhara on Nepal’s Western Terai. The roughly 155-kilometre trip offers a number of breathtaking sights along the way.

Lush woods, terraced farms, and the potential to catch a glimpse of the majestic peaks are all part of the always-shifting landscape. After reaching Chitwan, you settle into your lodging and unwind.

You may relax and take in the serene atmosphere of the park throughout the free evening. There will be a delectable supper and cultural entertainment.

In order to see animals like rhinos, deer, and perhaps even a Bengal tiger, you will venture farther into the park today. You will travel the Budi Rapti River after breakfast and then continue on to the elephant breeding centre, where female elephants are housed in preparation for breeding.

You will unwind and enjoy stunning sunset views along the riverbanks in the late afternoon. You attend a Tharu cultural event to round off your day, where the Tharu people will perform music and dance.

After breakfast, you will depart Chitwan and travel the Tribhuvan Highway back to Kathmandu. Along the twisting path you arrived along, it would be an upward voyage. Once in Kathmandu, you check into your accommodation and relax. You may shop for souvenirs in Thamel or independently visit the Ason Bazaar which is the local market.

You catch an early flight to Tibet’s spiritual centre, Lhasa. The flight takes only about two hours. The breathtaking Himalayan mountain range will astound you; mountains rising to a height of over 8,000 meters are just passing over you.

If you have the time, you might be able to see an interesting carpet factory or a small monastery close to Tsedang. Rest and adjust to the altitude while enjoying the distinctive Tibetan atmosphere when you first arrive in Lhasa. You will have a good night’s sleep in Lhasa and a restful evening.

A visit to the famous Potala Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the former home of the Dalai Lama, with its breathtaking architecture, is where you start your day. There are more than 1,000 chambers in this 13-story structure, along with many sculptures, stupas, paintings, and artifacts.

You will go to the Jokhang Temple, the hallowed site of Buddhist devotees and the spiritual centre of Tibetan Buddhism, after lunch. Barkhor Street, which runs beside the temple, is crowded with pilgrims and street sellers offering traditional Tibetan goods.

The day will begin with a hearty breakfast and a tour of Norbulingka Palace, the Dalai Lama’s summer residence. Old Buddha sculptures and a painting of the Fifth Dalai Lama are also present.

One of the biggest and most important monasteries in Tibet, the Drepung Monastery will be your next stop on your tour of Lhasa. In this university monastery, you may also learn more about the activities and lives of Tibetan monks.

You will visit the Sera Monastery in the afternoon, which is well-known for its animated discussions on Buddhist philosophy, which are still held in the courtyards of the monastery. This magnificent monastery was established in 1419 and housed five monastic colleges and over 5,000 monks.

After the journey, you will be dropped off at your hotel, where you may spend the remainder of the day as you choose.

You will be taken to the airport for your trip back to Kathmandu following breakfast and a final quick walk around the city. Your guide will meet you at the airport and drive you to your hotel, where you may rest for the remainder of the day.

The Nepal Tibet Tour comes to a close on the twelfth day. It’s time for your last trip home as your incredible journey through Tibet and Nepal draws to a close. The amount of time you have to do any last-minute duties will depend on your flight itinerary.
