Kathmandu-Pokhara Sunrise Tour - 7 Days Luxury Tour in Nepal 

Kathmandu-Pokhara Sunrise Tour is the best Luxury tour for beginners or history and cultural lovers who intent to visit the Nepal,  which covers main attractions of Nepal – 2 beautiful cities – Kathmandu and Pokhara which also includes a sightseeing of Patan and Sunset and Sunrise view from Nagarkot. This is the best Nepal Tour package.  The city of Kathmandu is full of historically significant temples and stupas from the medieval era. Travelling in this city, it is hard not to be constantly in awe. From venerable pagoda style temples to the bustling streets and colorful outdoor markets, there is always something to be fascinated by. We begin our tour from Kathmandu sightseeing and then to Patan and Nagarkot and at last Pokhara respectively.

Kathmandu-Pokhara Sunrise Tour in Kathmandu include: Swayambhunath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, Pashupatinath Temple, and Kathmandu Durbar Square. All the monumental sites are culturally significant and thousands of devotees pay their homage each year during pilgrimage tours. Swayambunath Temple is full of rich symbolism and is one of the oldest religious sites in Nepal. The temple offers an incredible view of the city of Kathmandu. Boudhanath Stupa is one of the largest Buddhist shrines in the world. Here we can see monks and devotees circumnavigating the stupa. Pasupatinath Temple is the most famous Hindu temple in the country, located on the banks of the Bagmati River. You can see sadhus (holy men) meditating, pilgrims bathing, and sometimes funeral pyres burning. Kathmandu Durbar Square is an old palace of the former Kathmandu Kingdom. It is one of three Durbar Squares in the Kathmandu Valley.

Kathmandu-Pokhara Sunrise Tour In Pokhara, we will see Barahi Temple, Davis Falls, Seti Gorge, and Mahendra Cave. The Barahi Temple is a beautiful temple. Devotees can be seen, especially on Saturdays, carrying male goats and fowls here to be sacrificed to the gods. Seti Gorge flows right through the city. The boisterous river runs completely underground at many places. Amazingly, at certain points the river appears hardly two meters wide, even though its depth is over 20 meters! Davis Falls, locally known as Patale Chhango, is a lovely waterfall along the Siddhartha Highway. Mahendra Cave is a huge limestone cave north of the Pokhara valley. After seeing the sights, we head back to Kathmandu. If there is something else in the tour you would like to see, or something you’d prefer to skip, let us know and we can tailor the package more toward your interests!
