Day 2 Everest Flight & Guided sightseeing around Bhaktapur, Monkey Temple, and Buddhanath
-
Early morning, you will be transferred to the domestic airport for your Scenic Everest flight. This one-hour flight takes you within camera range of some of the highest peaks in the world, and cruising this close to the awe-inspiring massifs of rock and ice is an out-of-this-world experience. This special mountain flight offers the closest possible aerial views of Mt Everest, Kanchenjunga, including many other mountains, and the Tibetan Plateau.
After returning from the Everest mountain flight, you will be guided by a private vehicle and a professional tour guide around the historical and cultural attractions of Kathmandu Valley. The places we visit are as below:
- Bhaktapur Durbar Square (World Heritage Site)
As you walk in, you will feel a sense of inner harmony. Bhaktapur Durbar Square is a collection of pagoda and shikhara–style temples grouped around a fifty-five-window palace of brick and wood. The attraction of the Bhaktapur Durbar Square is the Lion Gate, the Golden Gate, the Palace of Five Windows, the Art Galleries, and the Statue of King Bhupatindra Malla. It will feel like you have truly stepped back in time. - Buddhanath Stupa (World Heritage Site)
This is the largest stupa and among the most impressive in the Valley. It looms 36 meters high and presents one of the most fascinating specimens of stupa design. Buddhanath is also known as Khasti, or dew drops, after an account that builders had to use dew to mix the mortar as Kathmandu was suffering from a severe drought during its construction. - Swoyambhu Stupa- A Monkey Temple (World Heritage Site)
Watching over the Valley from the top of a hillock on its western side. The huge stupa is one of the holiest Buddhist sites in Nepal, and its establishment is linked to the creation of the Kathmandu Valley out of a primordial lake. The five elements are represented in the stupa's structure: the base symbolises earth, the dome water, the spire fire, the umbrella air, and the pinnacle ether. Swayambhu is also known as Samhengu and Monkey Temple.

Pure, simple, elegant, a place to relax, a place to enjoy, a place to discover. Lounge, laze, stroll, swim, have a massage…take a nap, read a book… drink, eat, and play. For the active days, hire a mountain bike…explore the mountains, natural caves, historical temples, and hilltop palaces…play a round of golf. A 45-minute drive with a 25-minute hike takes us to the top of Sarankot to see the best sunrise & close views of many mountains like Annapurna range, Dhauligiri, Fishtail, including views of the beautiful Pokhara valley & Fewa Lake.
We provide a private vehicle and professional tour guide for the sightseeing in and around Pokhara to visit the following sites:
- Phewa Lake & Barahi Temple
Situated at an altitude of 800 meters above sea level, it is the second largest lake in the kingdom. The Barahi Island Temple in the middle of the lake is the most important religious monument in Pokhara. This two-storied pagoda is dedicated to the boar manifestation of Ajima, the protector’s deity representing the female force Shakti. The reflection of Mt. Machhapuchhare & Annapurna can be seen in its serene water. A thick forest lies on the adjoining southern slopes of the lake. - Seti River Gorges
Carved by Seti-Gandaki is one of the natural wonders of Pokhara. K.I. The Singh bridge at Bagar, Mahendrapool & Prithivi highway Bridge near the bus park, provides a perfect view of the river’s dreadful rush and the deep gorge made by the turbulent flow of white water. - Davi’s fall
Locally known as Patale Chhango in the southern flank of the Pokhara valley is where the stream flowing from Fewa lake collapses and surges down the rock into a deep gorge, leaping through several potholes. - Gupteswar Cave
Gupteswar Cave is a sacred cave, lying 2 km from Pokhara airport. The entrance is right across from Devi’s fall, and the cave is almost 3 km long. It has some big hall-sized rooms and some passages where you have to crawl on all fours. This cave holds special value for Hindus since a phallic symbol of Lord Shiva is preserved here in the condition it was discovered.
- Phewa Lake & Barahi Temple
Day 5 Drive to Chitwan National Park by private car, 6 hrs.
-
After breakfast, we take a scenic drive through High Valleys, displaying a very tranquil side of Nepal. Upon reaching the Chitwan National Park resort, you would be briefed by our Guest Relations Officer. After lunch, you will go on a Village tour. Meanwhile, the dinner would be ready by the time you return to the resort.
The village tour is famous for close and personal observation of the Tharu culture. Tourists like to take a village tour to witness the daily lifestyle and activities of the Tharu community. The Tharu community resides along the entire length of the Terai plains of Nepal, but Chitwan is especially popular for their traditional culture. There is a choice between a foot or a trolley ride for the village tour.
During tours, you can experience the uniquely placed culture of the Tharu people and relish what their culture is like in the Tharu Village Museum in the heart of Sauraha Bachhauli. For centuries, the Tharu have lived very close to this protected area, and hence their tradition reflects their intimate relationship with the natural world.
Duration: 4 hoursOvernight at the Resort.
Day 6 Guided activities in Chitwan National Park.
-
An elephant ride is also the safest way to enter the jungle, while one can observe wild animals and birds from up close. You can enter the dense forest of Sauraha and view the wildlife from proximity during the elephant ride. It feels very exciting and novel to move along through the quiet forest listening to the sound of wild birds singing from on top of the elephant's back. There is also a slogan, "Visit Chitwan, Ride Elephant," popularized for the promotion of tourism in Sauraha. Four people can ride an elephant at one time.
Seated high on the back of a trained elephant, exploring the grassland and core area of the park, you became an integral part of the life of the national park. The elephant safari, not the most comfortable ride, is an amazing experience. And it doesn't take too long to spot at least a rhino in the forest.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutesElephant bathing is also an exciting entertainment activity available to tourists in Sauraha. The tourist can play with the elephants and dive into the river from the back of an elephant while it is bathing. The sight of an elephant bathing and playing with humans is equally entertaining. It is even enjoyable to only view the elephant baths. There is a virtual competition between the tourists to take photographs of the bathing elephant. The elephants, at times, throw off the riders into water as per the instructions is exciting to the limit. The elephant bath is one of the major attractions of Sauraha.
Just chill out beside the tranquility of the Rapti River and watch the appealing elephant taking a bath, or if it's too tempting, join them while taking a dip down the river.
Duration: 1 hourJungle walk is one of the adventurous and entertaining activities of Chitwan National Park. One can walk through a dense forest around the natural habitat of the wild animals during the jungle walk. The majority of these encounters involve wild elephants and rhinos. Thus, maximum caution should be exercised during the walk that provides an opportunity to observe the wildlife from up close. Walk out and stretch your legs into the forest accompanied by a professional as they share their extensive knowledge with you on your way to prime spots in quest of rare and endemic species. Be on the lookout for the great one-horned rhinoceros, wild boar, sloth bear, bison, Gangetic dolphins, gharial crocodile, and Royal Bengal Tiger.
Duration: 3 hoursYou can embark on a canoe ride along the Rapti River inside the Chitwan National Park and take a close view of crocodiles and other wild animals. Tourist are excited to look at the crocodiles taking sunbath on the river banks and take their photographs. The crocodiles basked motionlessly under the sun with their snouts wide. The chance to flow along with the river, taking a close look at the crocodiles and jungle on the river bank, attracts the tourists to a canoe ride. It is also possible to reach Jagatpur, another tourist spot of Chitwan, by canoe some 18 km downstream from Sauraha.
A journey down the Rapti river in a traditional ‘dug out canoe offers you the chance to quietly observe the exotic species of birds and animals that come to sip at the water's edge. In the Canoeing ride on the Rapt River, you see the popular Marsha Mugger and Ghariyal Crocodiles in their' natural habitat. You can see proximity to them from your canoe boat, and the naturalist guide you on their proper way. During Canoeing, you can see the rare species of birds, reptiles, and more in the wetland.
Duration: 50 minutes
