Day 1 - Kathmandu

Welcome to Kathmandu! We'll be waiting to greet you at the airport and then transfer you to your hotel to drop off your stuff and freshen up before embarking on our tour. We'll take you to explore the Pashupatinath Temple, the largest temple complex in Nepal, stretching across both sides of the Bagmati River. This temple is one of the very few living cultural heritage sites in the world in that it is an active place of worship, buzzing with continuous activity and daily rituals. Following this unique experience we'll visit the Boudhanath Stupa, the main destination for Buddhism followers. After this first fun-filled day we'll head back to the hotel for the night.

Day 2 - Kathmandu to Pokhara

After breakfast we'll make the 6 to 7 hour long drive to Pokhara by private car. There will also be an option to go rafting on the Trishuli river for an extra USD 20. We'll then spend the night in a hotel.
