Pokhara, Kathmandu & Chitwan – A tour to Nature

Our first day starts by visiting Nagarkot. The most popular hill station in the country, Nagarkot is arguably the prettiest place to start a weeks-long journey. Nagarkot is where you can escape from all the hustle and bustle. So, for the first day, it is wise to simply relax and let the environment cure you with its natural elements.

The relaxation of the previous day would have pumped enthusiasm into us. We will take advantage of it by exploring the beautiful Nagarkot. First, we will hike to the Nagarkot View Tower and enjoy a mesmerizing view of hills and greenery. The shadows of mountains including Mount Everest are visible if the clouds are clear, so we have to rely on our beliefs and march to the top. Thereafter, we will visit the surrounding villages and interact with the locals. You will definitely notice the difference there. It won’t even feel like it is near a city like Kathmandu where houses and people are everywhere.

We will leave Nagarkot today. Our destination will be Dhulikhel. We will hike to Dhulikhel. It will take around six hours but believe us, it will be SUPER worth it! Through the hills, surrounded by trees and the chirping sounds of birds and little animals, it will be a poetic journey, as if William Wordsworth himself is singing his poems to us.

Another day, another hike. Or, should we say, another day – ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO BE WITH THE NATURE! It will be a shorter hike than the day before, around 4 hours but with the views of mountains chasing us. The farther we walk, the more we get to see the mountains. Nature would be shouting for us and we would grasp her hands as we stepped into Baithali.

Today – no hiking! But, your body needs rest to recharge for the undiscovered nature that has been yearning for us ever since you stepped into Nepal. We will ride back to Kathmandu in a vehicle and spend our day in the city, roaming around the streets – the urban nature!

To refill our energy, we will eat a delicious Thakali Khana Set at night and dream about nature.

When you talk to Nepalese about nature, the first place they will mention is Chitwan, more precisely Sauraha or Chitwan National Park. Today we embark on our journey to Sauraha. We will take a ride and travel the roads while being blessed by the views of numerous rivers, forests, and mountains. The ride will act as a teaser to what awaits us in Chitwan!

Walking and nature align with each other. You cannot discover nature without stepping on it. Discovering is never about just “seeing”. So, we will have a jungle walk early in the morning. Walking around the forest of the Chitwan National Park with a naturalist as our guide, we will be discovering a vast range of wildlife that resides in this reserve. From endangered birds and animals to strange plants, the walk will take us to the wild and our Bear Grylls would be our awesome naturalist.

Later in the evening, we will have a village tour. The Tharu community of Sauraha is also a part of the natural ecosystem of the place. Without visiting them, the trip would be incomplete.

We will leave Chitwan for Pokhara early in the morning. Another road trip but this time the beautiful Trishuli river will be our treat. The sound of the water and people enjoying rafting in this aggressive river are splendid to see. Once we reach Pokhara, we will start our exploration, for we are elite explorers!

We will enjoy boating in Phewa Lake and drive to Sarangkot where we will spend our night.

Back to Pokhara, today is the day when we claim the nature of Pokhara. Alongside visiting places like Begnas Lake, Devi’s Fall, and Mahendra Cave, we will also enjoy the mountains as we would be literally on the laps of different mountains. The mountains of Annapurna and Langtang regions would be ahead of us and while we explore Pokhara city, some part of our eyes would be stuck in the mountains.

As it starts getting dark, we will drive to Dhampus, eat local food, and sleep.

Like the previous day, we will drive back to Pokhara early in the morning. Today, it will be your day to customize your adventures. We will hand you a list of things to do and you can boss those activities yourself. How cool is that! We do this because some beautiful memories are created when you alone go to the places you are completely unaware of and move your best foot to get along with them without our aid. So a free day for you to be a part of the beautiful community of Pokhara.

We will travel back to Kathmandu today, waving our hands at nature and mountains. We will leave the city for the city of urban elements of nature, Kathmandu. By urban elements, we mean the packed architecture of the city, but there is a hidden beauty in it. No matter how urban Kathmandu gets, it will always reflect the nature that surrounds it.

To reach Kathmandu, we can either board a vehicle and cross the Trishuli river again or fly and enjoy a birds-eye view of the two valleys, Pokhara and Kathmandu.

You will be spending your time in Kathmandu as you wish.

At Elite Explorers, we don’t say goodbyes. We offer you memories that will make you return in no time. Nevertheless, we will drop you at the airport 3 hours before the flight.
