Overview
Itinerary
Arrival in Kathmandu & Transfer to Pokhara
Arrive at Kathmandu Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM). Meet your representative and transfer to Pokhara by scenic drive (approx 6–7 hours) or a short domestic flight (30 minutes) depending on your preference. Check into your hotel and enjoy an evening by Phewa Lake — explore lakeside cafes and the relaxed riverside promenade. If arriving early, you can opt for a short city transfer to the World Peace Pagoda for sunset views.
Drive to Nayapul & Trek to Ulleri
After breakfast, drive to Nayapul (approx 1.5 hours) — the trek starting point. Begin a pleasant trek through terraced fields and subtropical forests to Ulleri (approx 4–5 hours). This ascent includes the famous stone stairways that climb through villages and offer early views of the Annapurna foothills. Evening at leisure in the teahouse village.
Ulleri to Ghorepani
Trek from Ulleri to Ghorepani (approx 5–6 hours). The route gains altitude gradually with forested paths, rhododendron slopes (blooming season late March–May), and occasional mountain glimpses. Arrive in Ghorepani, check in, and prepare for an early start the next day for Poon Hill. Stay hydrated and carry light layers—weather can change quickly.
Poon Hill Sunrise & Trek to Ghandruk
Pre-dawn hike to Poon Hill (approx 20–40 minutes) for a legendary sunrise over Dhaulagiri, Annapurna I & South, Machapuchare and other peaks. After sunrise, return to Ghorepani for breakfast and descend through scenic trails toward Ghandruk (approx 5–6 hours). Explore Ghandruk, a traditional Gurung village with stone houses and cultural homestay options. Photographers: carry extra batteries and a good wide-angle lens for the sunrise panorama.
Ghandruk to Nayapul & Drive to Pokhara — Relaxation Day
After a relaxed breakfast, trek down from Ghandruk to Nayapul (approx 3–4 hours) passing through rice terraces and small settlements. From Nayapul, drive back to Pokhara (approx 1.5 hours). Afternoon and evening are for lakeside relaxation — optional boat ride on Phewa Lake, visit the lakeside market, or enjoy a spa. This day is scheduled for rest after the trek; ideal for massage and sunset boat cruises.
Departure: Transfer to Kathmandu or Airport
After breakfast, transfer to Pokhara domestic airport for a flight to Kathmandu (approx 25–30 minutes) or drive back to Kathmandu (6–7 hours) based on your choice and schedule. If heading to the international airport for departure, ensure you arrive with adequate time for international check-in. If your international flight is late in the day, enjoy a final morning walk by the lake or quick souvenir shopping.

Recent Nepal Reviews
Nepal Cabs and Rooms Both Delivered
We were a couple traveling to Nepal for the first time, and honestly I was nervous about the ground arrangements because I'd heard horror stories from friends. TourGrids completely changed that. Every cab was on time — driver already knew the pickup point, no last-minute confusion. The hotels they picked in Pokhara and Kathmandu were proper good, clean rooms, decent views, nothing felt like a downgrade. Our coordinator Priya had sorted all of this over WhatsApp before we even landed. No surprise charges at checkout, no awkward negotiations with drivers. It felt like someone had already done all the stressful parts for us before we arrived.
Nepal Transfers and Hotels Both Delivered Well
Travelled to Nepal with my wife last month and honestly the hotels TourGrids arranged were a proper step up from what I'd seen on my own research. Every property was clean, well-located, and exactly what was described — no surprises at check-in. The cab transfers between cities were equally well-organised. Driver was on time, vehicle was comfortable, and the routes were planned sensibly so we weren't wasting hours on bad roads. I'd spoken to the coordinator a few times over WhatsApp before booking and he was straightforward — no unnecessary upselling, no hidden charges at the end. The whole ground arrangement in Nepal just felt taken care of without us having to chase anyone.
Nepal Planned Exactly the Way We Wanted
My husband and I had been going back and forth on Nepal for months but couldn't figure out where to start. A friend suggested TourGrids and honestly, one call changed everything. The coordinator listened to what we actually wanted — more mountains, fewer crowded tourist spots — and came back with an itinerary that felt personal. We tweaked a couple of things over WhatsApp and it was finalised within two days. Hotels were proper good, the cab timings were all coordinated, and there were no surprise charges at the end. Everything we discussed on call was reflected in what we actually experienced on the trip. Really appreciated how little we had to follow up.
Nepal Itinerary Built Around Our Actual Preferences
I was a little nervous handing over the full Nepal planning to someone I'd only spoken to on WhatsApp, but the TourGrids team genuinely put me at ease from the first call itself. I was travelling with my husband and we had a few specific requests — no rushed mornings, a mix of sightseeing and relaxed days, and mid-range hotels that were actually clean and comfortable. The coordinator listened properly and came back with an itinerary that reflected exactly what we'd discussed. No random filler days, no upselling on call. Hotels were proper good, cabs were on time throughout, and the pricing was transparent from day one. Whole process felt surprisingly straightforward.
