Where Does the Trip Begin and End?

The tours begin in the historical and cultural hub of Nepal. Discover UNESCO world heritage sites, i.e., Kathmandu Durbar SquarePatan Durbar SquarePashupatinath TempleBouddhanath Stupa, and Swyambhunath.

Our trip continues to Nagarkot. We’ll enjoy a full day of hiking in Nagarkot, where you can experience trekking in Nepal. It is a very popular hilltop near Kathmandu, which is mainly known for the sunrise view of mountains such as Dhaulagiri in the west and Kanchenjunga in the east, including Mt. Everest. The other ranges you will see are the Langtang, Dorje Lakpa, and Gaurishankar Ranges. After the hike, we drive to Pokhara, a paradise of lakes, temples, and mountain views.

We will explore the famous Phewa Lake, caves, falls, and many other sacred temples and stupas. Again, we’ll drive from Pokhara to Chitwan National Park through the scenic countryside, the first national park in Nepal. It was established in 1973 and granted the status of a world heritage site in 1984. Chitwan National Park is famous for its diverse natural environment and the wide variety of animals and birds, such as the bangle tiger and one-horn rhino, which are the only real animals in the world. Elephant safari, jungle walk, elephant breeding center, and canoeing ridge are the major activities in Chitwan that make your holiday more exciting.

What is the Best Time for family tour in Nepal?

The best time to take a mountain flight or visit Chitwan and Pokhara in Nepal depends on the season and weather conditions. Here are the recommended times for each activity:

  • Mountain Flight: The best time for a mountain flight in Nepal is during the dry season, which typically spans from October to April. During this period, the skies are generally clear, providing the best visibility of the majestic Himalayan Mountain ranges, including Mount Everest. However, it's essential to check weather conditions before booking the flight, as weather can be unpredictable even during the dry season.
  • Chitwan Tour: Chitwan National Park is a popular destination for wildlife enthusiasts. The ideal time to visit Chitwan is during the winter months (December to February) and the spring months (March to May). During this time, the weather is pleasant, and the chances of spotting wildlife, including one-horned rhinos, elephants, and various bird species, are higher. The monsoon season (June to September) should be avoided as heavy rainfall can lead to flooding and make wildlife spotting difficult.
  • Pokhara Tour: Pokhara is a beautiful city known for its stunning lakes and views of the Annapurna Mountain Range. The best time to visit Pokhara is during the autumn months (September to November) and the spring months (March to May). These seasons offer clear skies, mild temperatures, and great visibility of the mountains and lakes. If you want to go trekking in the Annapurna Region, this is also the best time to do so. During the monsoon season (June to September), Pokhara experiences heavy rainfall, so it's not an ideal time for outdoor activities.
