The Central Nepal Tour is a 7-day journey through some of Nepal’s most fascinating cultural, natural, and scenic destinations. This carefully designed itinerary combines the ancient heritage of Kathmandu Valley, spectacular Himalayan views from Nagarkot and Sarangkot, exciting jungle experiences in Chitwan National Park, and the peaceful lakeside atmosphere of Pokhara.
The journey begins in Kathmandu, where you explore historic temples, palaces, courtyards, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Continue to the hilltop town of Nagarkot for beautiful sunrise and sunset views across the Himalayan range before heading south to Chitwan for an exciting jungle safari and an introduction to the culture of the Tharu people.
The final part of the tour takes you to Pokhara, one of Nepal’s most beautiful destinations, where you can enjoy boating on Phewa Lake, explore natural attractions, and admire panoramic views of the Annapurna and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) mountains from Sarangkot.
Designed for families, couples, solo travelers, and small private groups, the Central Nepal Tour offers an ideal combination of culture, nature, wildlife, sightseeing, relaxation, and soft adventure in just one week.
