Itinerary
Arrival in Kathmandu — Welcome & Orientation

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.

Early departure from Pokhara to Kathmandu. Break the journey for an exciting Trishuli River Rafting 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.
