Day 1 – Welcome to Kathmandu, Nepal

After you’ve breezed through immigration and customs, your friendly guide and driver will be waiting to welcome you at the arrival gate. Settle in and enjoy the short 25–30 minute ride to your hotel, your first glimpse of Kathmandu’s vibrant rhythm.

Take a little time to relax in your room before we begin exploring the city. All of Nepal Himalaya in One Adventure starts at the legendary Swayambhunath Stupa, a 2,000‑year‑old sanctuary perched atop an 80‑meter hill. As prayer flags flutter in the breeze and panoramic views stretch across the valley, you’ll feel the deep spiritual heartbeat of Kathmandu.

Next, we wander into the historic Kathmandu Durbar Square, once the royal seat of ancient kings. Here, intricately carved temples and palace courtyards tell stories of centuries past. We’ll step inside the Kumari House, home to Nepal’s Living Goddess, a rare and meaningful cultural encounter. Although the 2015 earthquake left its mark, the square still holds an extraordinary collection of art, architecture, and living heritage.

From there, we stroll through the lively markets of Indrachowk and Ason, where colors, aromas, and local chatter fill the air. Our walk continues into Thamel, Kathmandu’s bustling traveler district, lined with cozy cafés, shops, and guesthouses.

We’ll end this first day with a warm Nepali welcome, an authentic dinner accompanied by traditional folklore music and dancing. It’s the perfect way to ease into the spirit of Nepal and the adventure ahead.

Day 2: Bhaktapur City, Pashupatinath Temple & Boudhanath Stupa

Optional: Everest View Flight, USD 215 (subject to change) If you wish to begin your morning with something truly unforgettable, you may opt for a one‑hour Everest scenic flight. This breathtaking experience takes you above the Himalaya, offering an eye‑level view of towering peaks, including the mighty Mount Everest itself. The flight operates early in the morning and requires advance booking, but it’s a magical way to greet the day.

After breakfast, we continue our exploration of the Kathmandu Valley, diving deeper into its ancient cities, sacred temples, and living traditions.

Our first destination is Bhaktapur, the best‑preserved of the valley’s three medieval kingdoms. Entering through the eastern gate, we stroll along the pottery street where artisans still shape clay by hand, just as their ancestors did. Soon we arrive at Dattatreya Square, home to an ancient temple and monastic complex adorned with exquisite woodcarving. The famed Peacock Window, often called the finest woodwork in Nepal, awaits you here.

Walking along Bhaktapur’s charming brick‑paved lanes, we reach Taumadhi Square, dominated by the majestic five‑tiered Nyatapola Temple, a masterpiece that has withstood two major earthquakes. Finally, we enter Bhaktapur Durbar Square, a treasure trove of palaces, temples, and sculptures. The Golden Gate, shimmering with intricate metalwork, is considered Nepal’s finest example of traditional craftsmanship. We explore the palace museum, its serene courtyard, and the beautifully designed Royal Bath Tank.

Next, we visit Pashupatinath Temple, Nepal’s holiest Hindu shrine. Set along the sacred Bagmati River, a tributary of the Ganges, this temple complex is a powerful place of devotion and ritual. While entry to the main sanctum is reserved for Hindus, you will have an excellent vantage point from across the river to observe the temple’s architecture and the spiritual activities that unfold along the ghats.

We end the day at the serene Boudhanath Stupa, one of the largest Buddhist stupas in Asia and a pilgrimage site revered by Buddhists worldwide. Encircled by monasteries representing different schools of Tibetan Buddhism, the area radiates a peaceful, meditative energy reminiscent of Lhasa’s Barkhor district. As prayer wheels spin and butter lamps flicker, you’ll feel the gentle rhythm of Tibetan culture woven into the heart of Kathmandu.

Overnight: Yak and Yeti Hotel

Day 3: White‑Water Rafting & Transfer to Gorkha

We start the day early with breakfast before heading out on a scenic three‑hour drive to our rafting put‑in point. As the hills open up and the river comes into view, the excitement of the day’s adventure begins to build.

Upon arrival, your rafting guide will give a friendly and thorough briefing, covering the river’s character, paddling techniques, and essential safety procedures. All equipment is provided, including life vests, helmets, dry bags, spray suits, and booties, so you can simply relax and enjoy the experience.

Depending on the season and water level, we’ll spend about two and a half to three hours on the river. With rapids ranging from Class II to III, the journey is perfect for both first‑timers and seasoned rafters, fun, refreshing, and just the right amount of thrill. Midway through, we pause for a peaceful riverside picnic lunch, giving you time to soak in the natural beauty around you.

At the rafting end point, our vehicle will be waiting to take us onward to Gorkha, the historic hill town from which Nepal’s Shah dynasty once rose to unify the nation. After checking into your hotel and enjoying a bit of rest, we head out to explore Gorkha’s iconic palace and temples, places steeped in history, legend, and breathtaking views.

There will be plenty of moments to pause, exchange smiles, and enjoy friendly conversations, an intimate glimpse into rural Nepali life.

We return to the hotel by late morning and begin our journey toward Pokhara, a beautiful lakeside city nestled beneath the Annapurna range. Upon arrival, check into your hotel and take the rest of the afternoon at a relaxed pace. A leisurely stroll along the lakeside, lined with cafés, shops, and serene views of Phewa Lake, offers the perfect way to unwind as the sun dips behind the mountains.

Day 5: Sunrise at Sarangkot & Full-Day Pokhara Exploration

We begin early this morning with a serene drive up to Sarangkot, one of Pokhara’s most beloved viewpoints. As the first light touches the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, the mountains glow in soft hues of gold and rose, an unforgettable Himalayan sunrise. On our way back, we stop at the Bindhyabasini Temple, a peaceful hilltop shrine dedicated to Goddess Bhagwati, where locals come for morning prayers and blessings.

After breakfast, we set out to explore the charms of Pokhara. We start with a gentle boat ride on Phewa Lake, gliding across its calm waters toward the small island that houses the Tal Barahi Temple, a sacred site beautifully framed by the surrounding hills. Following a relaxing lunch break, we continue to the impressive Pumdikot Shiva Statue, a towering landmark offering sweeping views of the valley.

Our final visit of the day is the World Peace Pagoda, a gleaming white stupa perched high above the lake. The panoramic vistas from here, mountains, lake, and city, create a perfect moment of quiet reflection.

The evening is yours to enjoy at leisure. Take a stroll through Pokhara’s lakeside district, browse local shops, or unwind at a café as the city settles into its laid‑back nighttime rhythm.

Day 6: Drive to Nayapul & Begin Trek to Birethanti Lodge

The Connoisseur’s Gateway to the Annapurnas

This alternative entry route skips the dusty valley roads of Nayapul, launching your trek from the high-altitude ridge line of Lumle. Enjoy panoramic Himalayan views from Chandrakot village, descend through a lush subtropical forest, and spend a relaxed afternoon exploring riverside Gurung culture.

Key Day Metrics:

Total Driving Time: 1 hour 15 minutes (~32 km / 20 miles)Total Trekking Time: 2 to 2.5 hoursTrekking Distance: 5.5 km / 3.4 milesDifficulty: Easy to Moderate (Primarily downhill descent)

Your day begins with a private pickup from your hotel in Pokhara, leaving the peaceful lakeside behind as you travel northwest along the winding Baglung Highway. The drive to Lumle covers about 28 miles and takes roughly 1.5 hours, gradually climbing out of the Pokhara Valley. As the road rises, the morning light reveals stunning views of Mt. Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), standing proudly at 22,943 ft, along with the magnificent Annapurna range.

Upon reaching the mountain village of Lumle, situated at around 5,840 ft, your trekking crew organizes the bags while you step onto the trail. A steady climb up a beautifully crafted stone staircase leads you to the ridge‑top hamlet of Chandrakot at 1,755 meters (5,758 ft). From this perch, the Annapurna South face appears almost at eye level, offering one of the most breathtaking panoramas of the region.

From Chandrakot, the trail dips into a cool subtropical forest. Stone steps wind beneath a canopy of orchids, ferns, and trickling streams. This lush river canyon is alive with Himalayan birdlife and butterflies, adding color and movement to your descent into the Modi Khola Valley.

As the forest opens, the path levels out into fertile farmland where the Modi Khola and Bhurungdi Khola meet. Terraced fields guide you toward the welcoming gates of the Mountain Lodges of Nepal – Birethanti (formerly Sanctuary Lodge), set at 1,025 meters (3,363 ft). The lodge offers en‑suite comfort and soothing views of the rushing river just outside your room.

A fresh, organic lunch awaits in the lodge’s manicured garden, served al fresco with the sound of the Modi Khola flowing beside you. Later in the afternoon, your guide leads you into Birethanti village, where stone‑paved lanes, suspension bridges, and the daily rhythms of the Gurung community create a lively and authentic atmosphere. You’ll also visit the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) center to register your trekking permits and explore exhibits on local wildlife, flora, and culture.

Returning to the lodge, you’re welcomed with high tea. The rest of the afternoon is yours to enjoy, perhaps relaxing on the river deck, indulging in an optional Ayurvedic massage, or sipping a sundowner as the last light fades behind the silhouette of Fishtail Mountain.

Trekker’s Note: While this day is highly scenic and mostly downhill, the descent from Chandrakot involves thousands of stone steps. We highly recommend using trekking poles to reduce impact on your knees and joints.

Property Note: Tonight's accommodation, Mountain Lodges of Nepal - Birethanti, perfectly balances rustic mountain charm with luxury, featuring hot running water, electric blankets, and premium hospitality before you head deeper into the wilderness.

Day 7: Trek to Gurung Lodge, Majgaon

Ascending the Eastern Flank of the Modi Khola Valley

Day 7 marks a beautiful transition as you leave the low-lying rivers of Birethanti and climb onto the high terraced ridge lines of the Gurung heartland. Walking past cascading waterfalls, vibrant farmlands, and old trading trails, you will arrive at the tribal-style Majgaon Lodge in time for a fresh lunch and an afternoon immersion into traditional local culture.

Key Day Metrics:

Total Trekking Time: 4 hoursTrekking Distance: 10 km / 6.2 milesDifficulty: Moderate (Steady uphill sections balanced by valley contours) 

Your morning begins in the peaceful riverside gardens of the Mountain Lodges of Nepal – Birethanti, where a hot, multi‑course breakfast is served outdoors. Fresh coffee, organic eggs, and the gentle warmth of the early sun create a perfect start to the day. As you eat, the summit of Mt. Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) glows softly down the canyon, hinting at the beauty that awaits on the trail.

With your daypack on your shoulder, you set off from Birethanti, following the lively banks of the Modi Khola. The river roars beside you as you cross a series of steel suspension bridges swaying gently above the water. Small riverside hamlets come to life as you pass, places like Lamakhet, where schoolchildren gather in uniform and villagers begin their morning routines. The walk feels vibrant and full of local color.

Gradually, the valley floor falls behind and the trail begins a steady climb. Stone staircases lead you upward through lush subtropical forest, where orchids cling to mossy trunks and ferns spill over the path. Soon the forest opens into beautifully sculpted rice terraces, emerald green and geometric, tended by farmers guiding water buffalo with traditional tools. The rhythm of rural life surrounds you as you ascend.

By midday, the stone trail levels out and the quiet village of Majgaon comes into view at around 1,400 meters. Passing through its entrance, you arrive at the Mountain Lodges of Nepal – Majgaon, a charming property designed in the style of traditional Gurung homes. Eleven slate‑roofed stone cottages encircle a beautifully landscaped garden, creating a serene and welcoming retreat.

Lunch is served outdoors in the garden, where hearty Nepali and international dishes are paired with sweeping views of Annapurna South and the deep valleys stretching below. It’s the kind of setting that invites you to linger, breathe deeply, and simply enjoy the moment.

Later in the afternoon, your guide leads you on a gentle walk through Majgaon village. Narrow alleys lined with traditional Gurung homes reveal carved wooden details and stories passed down through generations. You may visit a local homestead to learn about the heritage of the Gurung people, renowned as the historic community of the legendary Gurkha soldiers. If school is in session, you might stop by the community school for a brief, friendly interaction with students and teachers.

As evening settles over the hills, the lodge’s communal lounge becomes a cozy gathering place. A crackling stone fireplace warms the room while trekkers share stories over complimentary sundowner drinks and local appetizers. Often, the guides and lodge staff bring out traditional instruments, filling the space with Nepalese folk music and creating a memorable, heartwarming end to the day.

Trekker’s Note: Today features minor, undulating elevation changes. It acts as a highly scenic, rhythm-building hike that is perfectly suited for cultural photography. Keep your camera accessible for the terraced farm vistas.

Property Note: Majgaon Lodge masterfully mimics an old tea plantation layout. Despite its remote, rustic aesthetic, every private room includes modern luxuries like solar-heated attached bathrooms, down comforters, and pristine hospitality.

Day 8: Trek to Basant Lodge, Dhampus

Key Day Metrics

Total Trekking Time: 4 to 5 hoursTrekking Distance: 9.5 km / 5.9 milesDifficulty: Moderate (Gradual forest incline followed by a scenic downhill ridge walk)

The Scenic Ridgeline Traverse to the Grand Finale Vista Day 8 serves as the majestic crescendo of your trek. You will traverse the high ridges of the lower Annapurnas, walking through dense forests and the traditional Tibetan trading outpost of Pothana. Your final destination is the intimate, 8-room Basanta Lodge in Dhampus, which boasts arguably the most dramatic, unobstructed panoramic vistas of the entire Annapurna range.

Your final morning at the Mountain Lodges of Nepal – Majgaon begins quietly in the central courtyard, where a hot, chef‑prepared breakfast awaits. As you sip your coffee, the first rays of sunlight sweep across the glaciers of Annapurna South, turning the mountain a soft gold. It’s a moment worth pausing for, one last chance to capture the magic of Majgaon before stepping back onto the trail.

Leaving the lodge, the path immediately leads you into a dense subtropical forest. The air is cool and fragrant beneath the towering rhododendrons, magnolias, and orchid‑draped maples. For the next couple of hours, you settle into a steady uphill rhythm on old stone pathways, climbing deeper into the protected woodland. The forest feels ancient and alive, its canopy filtering the morning light into soft green hues.

Eventually, the trees thin and the trail crests at the mountain village of Pothana, perched at 1,890 meters / 6, 199 ft. Once an important stop along historic Himalayan trade routes, Pothana still carries the spirit of its past. Tibetan traders display handmade crafts, and a small teahouse offers a welcoming place to rest. From here, Mt. Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) rises sharply into the northern sky, its dramatic profile impossible to ignore.

After a short break, the trail turns south and begins a gentle descent along the ridge. The forest opens into sweeping views of the Phedi and Mardi Valleys, dropping thousands of feet below in wide, dramatic folds. You pass through the quiet hamlet of Patlekhet, where mustard fields glow yellow and traditional slate‑roofed homes sit peacefully along the hillside. The walk feels serene, with each step bringing you closer to Dhampus.

By early afternoon, you reach the outskirts of Dhampus village and step onto the immaculate grounds of the Mountain Lodges of Nepal – Dhampus, historically known as Basanta Lodge. Set at 1,525 meters, this secluded retreat features just eight bright stone cottages inspired by local architecture, each one angled perfectly toward the high snow peaks.

Lunch is served outdoors on the terrace lawn, where the lodge sits right at the edge of the ridge. As you dine, the entire Annapurna panorama unfolds before you, Annapurna I, II, III, IV, Annapurna South, and Machhapuchhre stretching across the horizon in a breathtaking sweep of white summits.

Later in the afternoon, your guide leads you through the traditional upper sections of Dhampus village. Stone-walled alleys wind between homes, and friendly residents welcome you with sweet Nepali chiya (milk tea). You may see weaving demonstrations or glimpses of daily agricultural life, simple, authentic moments that reveal the heart of the community.

Back at the lodge, the kitchen team invites you inside for a private momo-making class. With warm smiles and practiced hands, they teach you the art of stuffing and folding Nepal’s beloved dumplings, a skill passed down through generations.

As the sun begins to set, the terrace becomes the perfect gathering place. The Himalayan peaks glow crimson in the fading light while trekkers enjoy complimentary sundowner drinks. The lodge offers soothing foot massages on the lawn, easing the week’s trekking from your legs. When evening settles in, you move to the cozy stone‑clad dining room, where a roaring fireplace and a celebratory dinner made from premium organic mountain ingredients bring the day to a perfect close.

Trekker’s Note: Keep your camera fully charged and accessible for the afternoon. While other lodges on this loop look up through mountain valleys, Dhampus Lodge sits on an exposed ridge, giving you a completely unobstructed wall-to-wall view of the entire mountain range. Property Note: Dhampus Lodge (Basanta) is deliberately kept small and intimate with only 8 rooms. Each room is adorned with premium Nepalese carpets, down comforters, and individual heating options to offset the crisp, high-altitude mountain air.

The Final Descent & Homecoming to Lakeside LuxuryDay 9 brings your incredible Himalayan journey full circle. After witnessing a final, unforgettable sunrise over the Annapurna range from your ridge-top sanctuary, you will descend through lush terraced hillsides to the valley floor at Phedi.

A hearty breakfast follows on the terrace, where you enjoy your last meal at the lodge surrounded by familiar faces. The staff, who have cared for you with such warmth throughout your stay, offer kind smiles and well‑wishes as you prepare to continue your journey.

When it’s time to leave, you shoulder your daypack and walk through the gates of the lodge, beginning the grand descent toward Phedi. The trail drops steadily down the southern face of the ridge, following a classic Nepalese stone staircase. Old‑growth forest surrounds you at first, towering rhododendrons, magnolias, and maples draped with orchids, before the landscape opens into wide, emerald terraces of rice and millet. Small farming hamlets appear along the way, where water buffalo plow the fields and villagers wave as you pass. It’s a gentle, beautiful walk that feels like a final embrace from the Annapurna foothills.

Eventually, the stone steps lead you to the valley floor and into the settlement of Phedi. Here, your trek officially comes to an end. You celebrate with your guiding team and porters, sharing gratitude and goodbyes before loading your luggage into a waiting private vehicle. The drive back to Pokhara is smooth and scenic, giving you time to reflect on the journey you’ve just completed.

Day 10: Travel to Chitwan National Park

After breakfast, we leave for Chitwan National Park. It's a scenic road trip for about 5 hours or a little more.

The landscape shifts as you travel, fields open wide, forests thicken, and the air grows warm and humid, hinting at the jungle world waiting ahead.

Your arrival at Barahi Jungle Lodge feels like stepping into a serene pocket of the wild. You are welcomed with a chilled drink that instantly refreshes you in the warm Terai air. A gentle orientation follows, where your naturalist introduces you to the rhythms of the jungle, how wildlife moves, what sounds to listen for, and how your stay will unfold. Soon you’re settling into your luxurious thatched cottage, a peaceful retreat tucked beneath the shade of ancient trees.

Lunch is served at the Banyan Café or out on the poolside deck, where the breeze carries the scent of the river and the soft rustle of leaves. The meal is fresh, organic, and beautifully prepared, your first taste of the lodge’s warm hospitality.

In the late afternoon, you board a traditional dug-out boat and drift down the Rapti River. The water glides quietly beneath you as your naturalist points out marsh mugger crocodiles basking on sandy banks, the rare gharial slicing through the shallows, and a colorful parade of migrating birds. The river widens as you approach the confluence of the Rapti and Narayani, where the boat pauses for a magical sundowner. With drinks and snacks in hand, you watch the sky turn gold, then rose, then deep purple as the sun sinks behind the jungle.

Back at the lodge, the evening comes alive with a vibrant Tharu cultural performance. Indigenous Tharu or Kumal villagers showcase traditional music, rhythmic dances, and the energetic stick dance that has been part of their heritage for generations. Their artistry and spirit offer a beautiful glimpse into the cultural heart of the Terai.

Dinner follows in the main dining area, a relaxed, elegant meal featuring both Nepali specialties and continental favorites. Lantern light flickers softly as you dine, and the sounds of the jungle settle into a gentle nighttime chorus.

Day 11: Jungle safari excursions

Your second day in Chitwan begins in the soft half‑light of dawn. A gentle knock at your cottage door brings a tray of warm tea or coffee, which you enjoy on your veranda as the jungle slowly wakes around you. Birds call from the treetops, mist drifts above the river, and the air carries that unmistakable freshness that only morning in the wild can offer.

Soon you cross the Rapti River by boat, the water calm and glassy beneath the rising sun. On the opposite bank, the Bhimle Army Post marks the gateway to the core of Chitwan National Park. Here, you climb into an open 4x4 safari vehicle and begin a deep journey into the heart of the jungle. For the next several hours, you follow narrow forest tracks and wide grassland corridors, scanning the landscape for movement. Greater one‑horned rhinos graze in the tall grasses, deer flicker through the trees, monkeys leap overhead, and if fortune favors you, a sloth bear or even a Royal Bengal Tiger may appear in the distance.

Midway through the morning, your naturalists set up a fresh picnic breakfast in a safe clearing, a simple yet unforgettable meal enjoyed in the middle of untouched wilderness. The forest feels ancient and alive, and every sound seems to carry a story.

By late morning, you return to the lodge, where the pace shifts to gentle relaxation. You might stretch out beside the outdoor pool, browse the quiet library, or indulge in a therapeutic massage at the spa. The stillness of midday in the jungle is soothing, and the lodge offers every comfort to help you unwind.

Lunch is served at the property, fresh and flavorful, before the afternoon brings a choice of exploration. You may join a guided nature walk in the park’s buffer zone, where your naturalist helps you track footprints, identify plants, and understand the subtle signs of wildlife. Or you might opt for a bullock cart ride through a nearby Tharu village, passing traditional mud‑and‑clay homes, ancestral farmlands, and scenes of daily life that have changed little over generations.

As evening settles over Meghauli, lanterns glow softly around the lodge’s bush terrace. Dinner is served under the stars, a final feast that blends Nepali flavors with continental favorites. The night air is warm, the sky wide and clear, and the jungle hums quietly in the background, an enchanting end to a full day of discovery.

Day 12: Flight back to Kathmandu

Your final morning in Chitwan begins gently, with soft light filtering through the trees and the jungle already humming with life. After breakfast, you join your naturalist for a leisurely birdwatching walk around the lodge’s expansive 12‑hectare forested grounds. Chitwan is home to more than 500 species of birds, and the early hours are when they are most active. Hornbills glide between branches with heavy wingbeats, kingfishers flash brilliant blue over the water, and parakeets chatter brightly from the canopy. It’s a peaceful, grounding way to say goodbye to the jungle.

After the walk, you gather for a relaxed farewell breakfast overlooking the river. The Rapti flows quietly past the lodge, carrying with it the sounds and stories of the forest. As you sip your coffee, it’s easy to reflect on the wildlife encounters, the sunsets, and the gentle rhythm of life in Meghauli.

Late in the morning, you complete your check‑out and load your bags into the vehicle for the transfer to Bharatpur Airport. If the weather is clear, your plane arrives on schedule and carries you back to Kathmandu on a short, scenic 20‑minute flight. Should the skies be less cooperative, the flights are likely to be delayed.
