Comprehensive Trek Guide

multi line

Nepal is a country brimming with awe-inspiring landscapes, rich culture, and spiritual heritage. The "Nepal Exploration" tour package is a well-crafted itinerary that takes you through the heart of Nepal, from the bustling streets of Kathmandu to the serene lakes and mountains of Pokhara, through the jungles of Chitwan, and finally to the panoramic heights of Nagarkot. This trek offers the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and relaxation, allowing you to discover both the external beauty of Nepal and your inner peace.

 

This 10-day itinerary starts with a cultural exploration of Kathmandu, where you’ll visit UNESCO World Heritage Sites and experience the city’s rich heritage. You’ll then head to Pokhara, where you can enjoy sightseeing, a boat ride on Phewa Lake, and a peaceful trek to the Australian Camp for spectacular mountain views.

 

The adventure continues with thrilling rafting on the Seti River, followed by a wildlife safari in Chitwan National Park, where you’ll have the opportunity to spot endangered animals such as the one-horned rhinoceros and the elusive Bengal tiger. The journey concludes in Nagarkot, where you can relax and enjoy stunning views of the Himalayan range, including a possible glimpse of Mount Everest on a clear day.

 

Throughout the trek, you’ll be surrounded by Nepal's natural beauty, from the tranquil lakes to the lush jungles and snow-capped mountains, while also immersing yourself in the local culture and traditions. With comfortable accommodations, delicious Nepali cuisine, and expert guides, this trip ensures an enriching and smooth experience.

 

The best time to take this trek is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons, when the weather is generally clear and mild. These months offer stunning views of the mountains, comfortable trekking conditions, and pleasant temperatures. The summer monsoon season (June to August) is best avoided due to heavy rainfall, which can make trekking difficult.

 

Nepal offers a variety of delicious food, with influences from both India and Tibet. Traditional meals include dal Bhat (lentil soup with rice), momo (dumplings), and sel roti (a type of fried rice dough). In major cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara, you can also find international cuisines like pizza, pasta, and burgers, as well as vegetarian and vegan-friendly options.

 

Accommodations vary depending on the location. In cities like Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan, you will stay in comfortable hotels with modern amenities. During the trek, you’ll stay in teahouses at Australian Camp and camp by the Seti River. The teahouses provide basic but cosy accommodation, with home-cooked meals and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

 

For this trip, you'll need the following permits:

  • TIMS (Trekkers Information Management System) permit
  • ACAP (Annapurna Conservation Area Permit) for trekking in the Annapurna region
  • Chitwan National Park entry permit for the safari in Chitwan

 

These permits are included in the trip package and can be arranged by Swotah Travel.
