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 Trip Held Together by One Person
Our coordinator Arjun was honestly the reason this Nepal trip went so well. My wife and I were first-timers to Kathmandu and Pokhara, and I had a hundred questions before we even booked. Arjun replied on WhatsApp within minutes, every single time. The itinerary felt genuinely planned for us — not copy-pasted. When our Pokhara hotel had a room issue on day three, he sorted it on call before we had to ask twice. Cabs were on time, hotels were proper good, no surprises on billing either. Felt like having someone local watching over the entire trip without us having to chase anyone.
Nepal Hotel Switch Happened While We Were Travelling
We were already in the cab from Kathmandu to Pokhara when our coordinator messaged saying the hotel had overbooked our room. Before I could even get stressed, she had already found an alternative property, same area, actually a nicer view. By the time my husband and I checked in, everything was confirmed and there were no extra charges on our end. That kind of quick thinking is hard to find. The rest of the Nepal trip — Nagarkot, the lakeside stay, the drives — all went exactly as planned. Communication was easy throughout, mostly WhatsApp, and the itinerary had good flexibility built in. Genuinely felt like someone was paying attention the whole time.
Nepal Took Shape Over One Honest Call
I'd been putting off planning Nepal for almost a year because coordinating flights, hotels, and cabs across Kathmandu and Pokhara felt overwhelming. A friend suggested TourGrids, so I called them. Within that first conversation, they asked the right questions — how many days, what kind of hotels, whether my wife and I wanted any trekking or just sightseeing. No generic package was pushed on us. They sent a customised itinerary on WhatsApp the next day, adjusted two things I flagged, and that was it. Everything was transparent — no surprise charges when we actually travelled. The whole planning process honestly took less effort than booking a domestic flight myself.
Nepal Cabs and Hotels Both Exceeded Expectations
We were a couple doing Nepal for the first time and honestly had no idea where to even start. A friend suggested TourGrids, so I dropped them a message on WhatsApp and within the day we were on a call going through the full itinerary. What stood out most was the quality of properties they arranged — the resort in Pokhara especially was proper good, right by the lakeside, nothing like what I'd been finding on my own at that price. Cabs were always on time, drivers were polite, transfers between cities felt completely sorted. No surprises, no last-minute confusion. The coordinator stayed reachable throughout the trip, which honestly made all the difference.
Nepal Package Cheaper Than My Own Spreadsheet
I spent two weeks trying to plan Nepal independently — comparing hotels in Pokhara, checking cab rates, calculating Kathmandu transfers — and the numbers just kept climbing. One call with TourGrids and they put together a package that came in under what I had budgeted myself. Traveled with my husband for six nights and honestly everything was covered — decent hotels, all intercity transfers, breakfast included daily, and a coordinator we could reach on WhatsApp anytime. No hidden charges when we settled the final bill, which I genuinely wasn't expecting. The hotels were proper good, not budget guesthouses. Knowing someone had already sorted the ground logistics meant we actually enjoyed Nepal instead of managing it.
Nepal Planned Over Three Calls, Nothing Left Out
I was planning a Nepal trip with my wife and honestly had no clue where to start — Pokhara, Kathmandu, Chitwan, everything felt overwhelming to research alone. A friend suggested TourGrids and I just dropped them a WhatsApp. Within a few hours someone called back, asked proper questions about what we wanted, our pace, our budget. We had two or three calls total and by the end the itinerary felt like it was actually built for us, not copy-pasted from some template. Hotels were solid, the cab arrangements were sorted in advance, no last-minute confusion on the ground. No hidden charges either, which I was genuinely worried about. Really glad we went this route.
