Nepal Golden Triangle Tour

Trip overview

Nepal Golden Triangle Tour is an 8-day trip that will take you through Nepal’s varying landscapes, diverse culture, and rich cultural and natural heritage. Starting with a brief excursion of Kathmandu city, guiding you through a few UNESCO world heritage sites, the trip will then continue to two major tourist spots, Pokhara and Chitwan, before finally leading you back to Kathmandu.

While in Kathmandu Valley, you can visit the historical sites, including the three Durbar Squares of Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur. For a more cultural experience, an evening or early morning visit to Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Temple, and Swayambhunath Temple is more suited. You can also shop for souvenirs in the local market and street vendors near these heritage sites.

As you arrive in Pokhara, you will be greeted by the breathtaking view of Machhapuchre and Annapurna mountains leading you to the serene lake views. You will be overwhelmed by the morning view of these peaks along the bustling street of Lakeside. Pokhara also offers you an opportunity to dig into adventurous activities such as paragliding, ultra-flight, mountain biking, bungee jumping, and much more.

Lastly, you will be led to the flat terrains of Chitwan on a scenic drive through rivers and hills. Here, you will receive the warmest hospitality at Tharu Cultural Homestays (an ethnic group of the Terai region) and also get that once-in-a-lifetime chance to sink into a unique cultural experience. You can also go for a beautiful canoe ride in the Rapti River to get a view of gharial, crocodiles, and other wild animals of Chitwan National Park.
