This temple is a must-visit destination for whoever visits the city. We will return to this temple in the evening as well for the Sandhya Aarati.

Then, we move our steps to Boudhhanath Stupa, a very ancient stupa with a great cultural point of Kathmandu. The stupa carries some Tibetan Influence. You can choose between Boudhhanath Stupa and Swoyambhunath Stupa. Due to time constraints, we will only be able to visit either of the stupas.

After the stupa, we visit two durbar squares in the valley out of the three. Again, due to time constraints, we will only be able to visit two durbar squares in two different cities.

Before you book

The realities of this route, told straight, so nothing surprises you later.

Practical Info before your Nepal Tours

  • Visa: most nationalities need a visa, available on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport or online in advance. Check current requirements on the Nepal Tourism Board site before you fly to Nepal Tours.
  • Heritage site entry fees: Kathmandu’s UNESCO sites charge their own small entry tickets for foreign visitors, generally in the NPR 200 to 1,000 range per site depending on which temples and durbar squares you visit. These aren’t bundled into international tour pricing industry-wide, so budget roughly $15 to $25 total across the sites you see on Day 2.
  • Chitwan National Park entry: foreign visitors pay a park entry fee, currently around NPR 2,000 (about $15) per person per day. This is included in your package price, so you won’t need to pay it separately at the gate.

  • Route reference: you can preview the general road and flight route between places like Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan in your Nepal Tours on OpenStreetMap.
  • Travel insurance: not required to join Nepal Tours (necessary for treks), but strongly recommended, especially if you’re adding paragliding, bungee jumping, or kayaking, none of which are covered under the package.

Useful Info

Best time to go on Nepal Tours: our honest take

Autumn (September to November) is the safe pick for Nepal Tours. Skies stay clear, mountain views from Pokhara and Sarangkot are at their sharpest, and Chitwan’s wildlife is easiest to spot as animals move around more in the cooler weather.

Spring (March to May) is genuinely lovely too for Nepal Tours; rhododendron forests bloom red and pink on the drive to Pokhara, and Chitwan’s forests come alive as animals emerge from winter. If you can, avoid booking right in the peak weeks of October to December, since that’s when hotels and flights in Kathmandu and Pokhara fill up fastest and prices climb.

Winter (December to February) works fine for Nepal Tours specifically, since you’re never above 1,592m. Chitwan actually stays warmer than the hills, and you’ll deal with cold mornings but clear days.

We’d steer you away from monsoon season (June to August), though: Pokhara gets properly wet, trails turn muddy, leeches show up on jungle walks, and wildlife in Chitwan tends to stay hidden.

Check live conditions before you fly between cities on Windy.com, and see DHM Nepal for official forecasts if your dates fall near a season change.

What is the best time of year to take Nepal Tours? 

The best time or the ideal seasons for Nepal Tours are:

Spring Season: The time from March to May has clean and tranquil weather; the weather remains stable most of this season. With forests blooming with the best flowers available in the region you visit. Animals come out of hibernation or just from the habitat in Chitwan National Park. Mountains are very visible.

 

Autumn Season: The months from September to November do have clear blue skies; the weather conditions remain stable with the best visibility of animals, fall scenes of flora, and the whole scenery looks so majestic. Mountains are very visible.

 

Winter season: You can travel this season as well. The time of December to February, the weather remains extremely cold, with cool temperatures every day. Still, Chitwan is warmer. The destinations are also popular this season, but less if we compare.

 

Monsoon season: You can travel this season as well. From June to August, Pokhara remains very rainy most of the time; the forest paths are very slippery and muddy. Leeches trouble your walking as well. The animals hide in their habitat and do not come out of their shelters.
