Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Mountain Flight and Kathmandu

    You'll start with a mountain flight that gives you incredible views before landing in Kathmandu. From there, head into the city to see Bouddhanath Stupa, one of the most important Buddhist sites in the region with its massive white dome and prayer flags. After that, make your way to Kathmandu Durbar Square where the old royal palaces and temples show off the city's architectural history. If you have time and interest, you can also visit Pashupatinath Temple, a major Hindu pilgrimage site along the Bagmati River. The day's activities can shift based on what interests you most and how much time you want to spend at each location.

  2. Day 2

    Kathmandu to Pokhara

    You'll fly to Pokhara, a lakeside city surrounded by mountains and known for its calm, slower pace compared to Kathmandu. Once you arrive, take a boat out on Phewa Lake where you can relax and take in the water and mountain views. Later, head up to the World Peace Pagoda, positioned on a hilltop with views back over the city and lake. The whole day focuses on enjoying the peaceful setting and natural scenery that makes Pokhara such a popular spot for people looking to unwind.

    Fly back to Kathmandu and then drive to Bhaktapur, an old city that still holds strong to Newari cultural traditions and architecture. Wander through the streets and local squares to see traditional buildings and crafts. Make sure to try Juju Dhau, the local sweet curd specialty that people come here specifically to eat, along with other regional dishes. You'll have the afternoon to check out the local food scene and markets before heading back to Kathmandu by evening for your last night.

    · April 5th, 2024
    Our recent trip to Nepal with Swotah Travel and Adventure was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we embarked on this journey, their commitment to a personalized experience made every step memorable. One of the standout aspects of our trip was Swotah's flexibility in accommodating our last-minute requests. Despite the spontaneity, they seamlessly integrated our preferences into the itinerary, ensuring every moment felt tailored to our desires. The culinary delights we savored throughout our adventure truly exceeded expectations. From traditional Nepali dishes to international fare, each meal was a delightful exploration of flavors that left us craving more. Moreover, the selection of hotels provided by Swotah was nothing short of excellent. Offering comfort, convenience, and stunning views, these accommodations were the perfect retreats after a day of exploration. Our journey wouldn't have been as enriching without our guide, Tikka, whose patience and expertise added immeasurable value to our experience. Finally, a special mention goes to Ajay, whose attention to detail and dedication made us feel like VIPs throughout the trip. His personalized care ensured that every aspect of our journey was nothing short of exceptional. In conclusion, Swotah Travel and Adventure provided us with a journey through Nepal that was both unforgettable and deeply enriching. Their commitment to personalized service, accommodation of our requests, delightful cuisine, excellent lodging, and exceptional guides make them our top recommendation for anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure in Nepal.
