Explore Nepal on a 7D6N private tour through Kathmandu, Pokhara, Mustang and Chitwan, with Himalayan scenery, sacred sites, local culture and wildlife.
Discover Nepal through its sacred cities, mountain valleys, lakeside landscapes and wildlife-rich southern plains on this seven-day private journey.
Your experience begins in the Kathmandu Valley, where Buddhist stupas, historic royal squares and traditional craft neighbourhoods reveal the country’s layered cultural heritage. From here, travel west to Pokhara, a relaxed lakeside city framed by the Annapurna mountains.
The journey continues into the Mustang region, following the Kali Gandaki Valley towards Jomsom and the sacred pilgrimage site of Muktinath. The scenery changes noticeably along the way, from green hills and river valleys to open, high-altitude landscapes shaped by wind, rock and centuries of Tibetan Buddhist influence.
Your final days take you south to Chitwan National Park, where forest, grassland and Tharu culture offer a complete contrast to the Himalayas. Designed for travellers who want cultural depth, natural beauty and comfortable private travel, the itinerary balances guided discovery with quieter moments to rest and take in the surroundings.
A thoughtfully paced journey through four distinct regions of Nepal, bringing together historic cities, Himalayan scenery, spiritual traditions, local communities and wildlife encounters.
