Itinerary
Arrival in Kathmandu — Welcome & Orientation
Arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu) where your private representative will greet you and transfer you to your hotel in Thamel/Kathmandu Valley. After check-in and a short rest, enjoy a relaxed orientation walk through Thamel — the lively tourist neighborhood. Evening at leisure or optional welcome dinner. Early arrivals may choose to rest to recover from the flight.
Drive to Pokhara — Lakeside Arrival & Sunset by Phewa Lake
After breakfast, drive (approx. 6–7 hours) to Pokhara via the scenic highway. En route short stops for photos and refreshments. Arrive in Pokhara, check-in at the hotel by Phewa Lake. In the late afternoon enjoy a boat ride on Phewa Lake and a lakeside stroll to see the Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) and Annapurna views at sunset. Comfortable drive with scenic stops — bring a light jacket for the evening breeze.
Short Trek to Dhampus or Australian Camp — Mountain Panorama
Start early for a short, family-friendly trek to Dhampus or Australian Camp (3–4 hours round trip depending on pace). These viewpoints offer spectacular sunrise and panoramic views of the Annapurna range including Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South and Dhaulagiri. Return to Pokhara in the afternoon for relaxation and optional lakeside activities. The trek is suitable for children and beginners; ensure comfortable walking shoes and water.
Drive Back to Kathmandu with Trishuli River Rafting Adventure
Early departure from Pokhara to Kathmandu. Break the journey for an exciting White-water Rafting on Trishuli River session (half-day) — suitable for families and beginners with experienced guides. Enjoy scenic riverbanks and manageable rapids, followed by lunch. Continue the drive to Kathmandu and arrive in the evening. River rafting includes professional guides, safety briefings and equipment; swimmers should be comfortable in water.
Kathmandu Valley Cultural Tour & Evening Cultural Show
Explore key cultural sites of the Kathmandu Valley: visit Pashupatinath Temple (viewing the sacred Bagmati River cremation ghats), then Boudhanath Stupa — one of the largest stupas in South Asia. Continue to Kathmandu Durbar Square (or Patan Durbar Square on request) to see palaces, temples and rich Newari architecture. In the evening enjoy a traditional Nepali cultural show & farewell dinner with classical music and folk dances. Dress modestly for temple visits; cameras allowed in most public areas but be respectful at religious sites.
Departure — Transfer to Airport
After breakfast, enjoy some final free time in Thamel for last-minute shopping or sightseeing. At the scheduled time, your representative will transfer you to Tribhuvan International Airport for your onward flight.

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.
