Day 05: Pokhara Full-day Tour

World Peace Stupa

On Phewa Lake, small boats are available for rent. Renting a boat is an affordable option, as is going fishing. Alternatively, you may rent a boat to the foothill of the World Peace Pagoda and hike up.

Hiking the hill will take about 50–60 minutes, and although it’s an elevation walk, it’s manageable. There are some eateries if you are in need of a break or some food, and the sights are stunning on the journey up.

Since the left side of the lake is less crowded than the right, you are able to drive up to and subsequently walk the whole distance, that is where we will hike up.

There are numerous cafes and eateries on the opposite side. You should stop and take a coffee because you’ll be strolling in that direction.

The World Peace Pagoda is absolutely stunning. It’s open till 4:30 PM and makes for a pleasant photo location. This location offers excellent views of the Himalayas on clear, bright days.

Shop for Souvenirs

Pokhara’s Lakeside houses numerous arts and crafts shops where you can shop for amazing handmade crafts and souvenirs. The arts and crafts you see in Pokhara might resemble the ones you see in Kathmandu but it is generally a pleasant experience shopping in Pokhara.

International Mountain Museum

Every year, about 70,000 tourists from both local and foreign locations visit the International Mountain Museum (IMM). This museum keeps track of, documents, and displays global advancements in peak and mountaineering from decades ago to the current day. The Hall of Great Himalayas, the Hall of Fame, and the Hall of World Mountains are the three primary display halls at the museum.

In an effort to capture the centuries-old traditions and ideals of the Nepalese people, the museum features displays on iconic peaks, biographies of notable mountaineers, and the traditions and ways of life of people of the mountains. Specifically, it depicts the Sherpas of Nepal. All the big names that we hear in the mountaineering industry could not have done it without the help of the Sherpas.

Mahendra Cave

It is among the Pokhara Valley’s most popular tourist destinations. Ten minutes drive from the major city is the small village of Batulechaur, where this cave is situated. Mahendra Bir Bikram Shah, the late king of Nepal, is honored with the title Mahendra Cave.

The cave is a naturally occurring tunnel that visitors can stroll through and observe various rock formations along the wall, including limestone that shines in the light. Mahendra Cave, one of the more gloomy sites in Nepal, allows guests to explore the tunnel’s darker interior. Artwork of gods, goddesses, and tusks from elephants may be seen on the cave’s interior walls.

Day 06: Pokhara – Kathmandu

Leaving Pokhara is a gloomy experience as anyone would want to stay there for months but every good thing must come to an end. Your ride from Pokhara to Kathmandu will last for about 6 to 7 hours. You will travel along the Trishuli River for the most part enjoying the scenes of the hills and river along the way.

Depending on the traffic flow and weather conditions, the travel time will fluctuate a bit. Another aspect to consider is the road condition of the highway. The Prithivi highway that connects Kathmandu and Pokhara has many rough patches and some part of the highway is always under construction. This can cause your travel time to increase as vehicles have to pass through a bottleneck.

After reaching Kathmandu, you will be dropped off at your accommodation to freshen.

Trip Information of Kathmandu Pokhara Chitwan Tour

How does our trip start?

Our trip actually starts in Kathmandu, where you arrive on the first day of the trek. One of the best things to do in Kathmandu on the first day of your arrival is to stroll the neighborhood and try different Nepalese and Newari cuisines.

On the 2nd day, you will travel to the city of Sauraha which is the gateway to the Chitwan National Park where you will enjoy activities like jungle safari (on jeep, foot, or elephant), along with canoeing and elephant bathing. The Chitwan National Park is one of the best places to visit for nature lovers as we will get to see a number of rare animals traveling through dense forests.

Best seasons for the Kathmandu Pokhara Chitwan Tour

The best season for the Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan Tour is the season of fall and spring. Technically, you can do this Kathmandu Pokhara Chitwan Tour anytime during the year but there are definitely preferable seasons based on the characteristics of different times.

During fall and spring, there are fewer chances of rain, the sky is clear and bright, the weather steers clear for a perfect photoshoot opportunity, and the temperature remains favorable. The best thing about traveling in one of the two seasons is the activities you get to engage in.

Spring and autumn are the main reasons for wild animals to get active. In winter, they are inactive and the summer brings in heat waves which the animals detest as much as we do. In addition, each city offers many engaging activities during the spring and autumn as it is the major tourism period.

Can anyone join this trip?

Yes, anyone can join this Kathmandu Pokhara Chitwan Tour as it is an easy and fun tour suitable for all ages. Your kids can tag along, and so can the older people. You will be traveling mostly on a jeep and might have to walk a little here and there which is not a big deal for people of any age.

On your Pokhara and Chitwan day tour, you will have to travel to certain sites which involve a little bit of walking. For example, if you decide to visit the World Peace Stupa in Pokhara, you will have to walk a little on foot to get to the stupa.

Kathmandu Pokhara Chitwan Tour Accommodation, Food, and Drink

Accommodation during the Kathmandu Pokhara Chitwan Tour is inclusive of the tour package, meaning the payment you make for the package will cover all your accommodation needs throughout the trip. But in case you were to require additional accommodation, you will have to pay for it on your own. For instance, if the road has been blocked due to some unforeseen accident or natural disaster, you might have to spend the night/day in the same city you are in.

You will be living in mid-range hotels that will provide all the basic amenities along with some additional and modern amenities. You can also opt for expensive stays but it will cost you a bit more as per the pricing of the establishment.

On a side note, as per the standard practice, you will be sharing a room with one of your fellow travelers. If you would like to have the room all to yourself, you must let us know beforehand as we have to make the necessary arrangements for it. You will be charged accordingly.

The land of Nepal offers a range of dishes, there are Tibetan-influenced dishes, Indian cuisines, Chinese dishes, and most importantly traditional Nepalese dishes which you can have in every city we visit. But we recommend you try the local dishes at least once as we believe that a tour is all about exploring and having different foods.

We will provide you with 3 meals per day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). Anything outside of that will be your personal expense which is not covered by the Kathmandu Pokhara Chitwan Tour package.

But be careful not to have food from the roadside stalls or any eateries you see. Be sure that you ask our guide for recommendations as street food might lead to some uncomfortable and uneventful moments.

Much like food, there are tons of drinks you can taste during this Kathmandu Pokhara Chitwan Tour, some of which are alcoholic and most of which are traditional drinks such as teas. Unlike food, the Kathmandu Pokhara Chitwan Tour package does not cover any kind of drinks.

Transportation for the Kathmandu Pokhara Chitwan Tour

You will be traveling on a private vehicle within cities. We use private vehicles for city tours as they are more comfortable and clean, and allow the travelers the option to stop the vehicle at any moment.

You will also be traveling in a private vehicle from one city to another. As previously stated, traveling in a private vehicle allows us to stop at any palace. You might see an interesting place while traveling from one city to another; you can just ask the driver to stop the vehicle. This would not be possible if you were to travel in a communal vehicle.

Kathmandu Pokhara Chitwan Tour for Your Extra Expenses

Your extra expenses include international flight fares, additional accommodations, medical insurance, travel insurance, beverages, and tips for the crew members. These expenses are considered personal expenses which are not inclusive of the Kathmandu Pokhara Chitwan Tour package.
