Journey Through the Heart of Nepal
Scenic Nepal is an eight day passage through one of South Asia's most captivating destinations, blending the spiritual riches of Kathmandu with the raw wilderness of Chitwan National Park and the serene mountain vistas of Pokhara. This carefully paced itinerary takes you from ancient temples and sacred sites to dense jungle trails where endangered rhinoceros roam free.
Begin in Kathmandu, where the air itself seems to carry centuries of prayer and pilgrimage, visiting the sacred Pashupatinath Temple, the golden Boudhanath Stupa and the magnificent Kathmandu Durbar Square. Then descend into the Chitwan lowlands for close encounters with Bengal tigers, one-horned rhinoceros and wild elephants on safari, canoeing and village walks with local naturalists.
The journey culminates in Pokhara, where the mirror-still Phewa Lake reflects the white peaks of the Annapurna range and where you can watch the sunrise paint Sarangkot golden. With handpicked hotels, private transfers, English speaking guides and all park fees included, your only task is to breathe in the Himalayan air and absorb the soul of Nepal.

Best Time to Visit Nepal
October to November and March to May are the ideal seasons to visit Nepal, offering clear mountain views, pleasant temperatures and excellent trekking conditions. October and November bring the clearest skies after the monsoon, while March to May feature blooming rhododendrons and warm valleys. December to February are cool but dry with fewer crowds, perfect for lower elevation areas like Pokhara and Chitwan. Avoid June to August when heavy rains make roads difficult and visibility is poor.
