Nepal in a Week: Mountain Vistas & Ancient Temples
See Kathmandu Valley heritage, Himalayan views and Chitwan wildlife in one smooth trip
Nepal tours in the 7-10 day range are an ideal way to combine classic heritage sites with those unmistakable Himalayan views, while still leaving enough breathing room in the itinerary. Many trips link the Kathmandu Valley with time in Pokhara, and some add Chitwan National Park for a different pace and landscape. If you prefer more active days, selected departures include a short trek, blending mountain panoramas with village life and quieter trails. You can choose between group and private tours, and the guiding can be fully guided or partly guided depending on how independent you want to be. A few itineraries also connect with Bhutan or India, although the Nepal portion typically stays centerd on the Himalayas, major heritage highlights, and everyday life across the valley.

I was surprised by the amount of wild life that was to be seen; my preconceptions about Nepal mainly centred around Buddhist temples, cultural sites and mountains. The hotel used was also great. Cancellation of our flight from Bharatpur to Pokhara/unpredictability of flights in general due to weather. Condition of the roads was poor and trips overland therefore tiring. Poor condition of toilets when on road. Guides that 'parrot'/use a script (KTM in particular) are annoying.

Our guide Anil swapped it to the last day due to bad weather, which worked perfectly. Otherwise, too many similar squares in one day! The sunrise trek in Pokhara was equally unforgettable. Stay at Mount Kailash Hotel was stressful. After flight cancel, rooms were not ready and were dirty with poor amenities. Manager, Deep, kindly upgraded us, but the reception staff were rude. No hot water unless we complained. Guide Soni ignored how unwell we felt and overloaded us with info on tour

The local guide provided, Anunga, was absolutely superb. I couldn't rate him highly enough. The mountain scenes from Pokhara were awe-inspiring. The monasteries were also a great peaceful contrast to the bustle of Kathmandu. There is quite a lot of pollution in Kathmandu. It may be a good idea to warn visitors. People are sleeping on the streets in Kathmandu, also. It is not surprising, but shocking none the less.

This really enhanced our experience. Also, in Chitwan, it was important to him that we see the rhinos, he encouraged the guides to take a different route, which worked. The accommodation in Kathmandu and Chitwan was excellent. However the accommodation in Pokara was very outdated, badly needing updating. The bed was rock hard, and the place felt worn and unclean.

Amazing group and very professional and friendly guides and drivers. Overall very satisfy with the tour and would suggest only a small change in the management of the tips to make the trip even more hassle free for the participants.
Treasures of Nepal - 9 daysPRIVATE TOUR: Explore ancient cities, temples and palaces as well as breathtaking mountain ranges. Go wild in Chitwan National Park and immerse yourself in local life and culture. Get in touch the real Nepal! Private Tours9The tour and guides were excellent. For the private tour I would recommend flying to Chitwan rather than driving 7 hours - as we were there during the recent floods in Kathmandu we ended up flying as the roads were closed by landslides and I feel that this should be the option on the private tour.
