Embark on a transformative 10-day journey through Nepal that artfully blends cultural discovery, natural beauty, and community-based travel. Starting in Kathmandu, you’ll dive deep into the historic heart of Nepal, wandering through the ancient alleys of Bhaktapur and visiting serene rural villages near Kathmandu like Bajrabarahi and Chapagaon.
The adventure continues as you travel west to Pokhara, the city of lakes and mountains. You’ll explore iconic sights — waterfalls, cave temples, riverside gorges, hilltop temples — and enjoy a peaceful boat ride on Phewa Lake, framed by majestic Himalayan peaks.
From Pokhara, you venture into the tranquil hills to Sirubari, a model Gurung village known for its pioneering homestay tourism. Here, you’ll be welcomed into local homes, experience traditional blessings, and participate in the simple joys of rural life. A sunrise hike to Thumro viewpoint offers spectacular Himalayan panoramas, and back in the village you’ll visit the school, gompa, and local sites, followed by a heartwarming cultural evening.
After living like a local in Sirubari, you’ll return to Pokhara for a night before heading back to Kathmandu. The final full day in the capital is yours to explore freely — whether you choose to discover its world-famous stupas, Durbar Squares, or hidden neighborhoods, all under the shadow of the surrounding hills. On your final day, we’ll make sure you get to the airport smoothly for your departure.
This trip is designed to be more than a sightseeing tour — it’s a meaningful journey into Nepal’s cultural soul, combining city heritage, lake-side serenity, hilltop views, and authentic village life.
