Overview
One of the top short trips in Nepal is the Kathmandu Pokhara tour, which takes travelers through two stunning valleys and offers breathtaking views of the mountains. While Kathmandu is renowned for its rich culture and historical sites, Pokhara is famous for its picturesque natural scenery.
Kathmandu, a city in Nepal, was once the country's royal capital and is now a hub for Nepalese aristocratic palaces, mansions, and gardens. It is known for its rich historical, artistic, cultural, and economic significance. The city has a diverse population with a significant number of Hindus and Buddhists, and religious and cultural celebrations are an important part of its residents' lives. Kathmandu is a major tourist destination, serving as the gateway to the Himalayas and home to several World Heritage Sites, including Durbar Square, Swyambhunath, Boudhanath, Pasupatinath, and other sacred sites. It also boasts several of Nepal's major world heritage sites.
Pokhara is a city in central Nepal that serves as the starting point for the Annapurna Circuit, a popular Himalayan trek. Tal Barahi Temple is a two-story pagoda on a lake island. Yoga studios and restaurants can be found in the Lakeside district on the east coast. To the south of the city, the International Mountain Museum has exhibits on mountaineering history and the Himalayan people.
The magnificent views of the Annapurna range make this a great weekend getaway or longer relaxing vacation destination. Many travel writers are inspired by the gentle beauty of Pokhara. The clean air, spectacular backdrop of snow-capped mountains, blue lakes, and lush greenery make it a "jewel of the Himalayas." a place of stunning natural beauty. Pokhara is the ideal place for relaxation, with three major lakes, Pewa, Rupa, and Begnas Lakes, set against the magnificent Annapurna Mountains. The Pokhara Valley, the gateway to the Annapurna region, where many trekkers discover this fantasy land, is at the top of Nepal's must-see list.

Excellent Service
I find this company via internet. Surya is a great contact person. He is very knowledgeable, pro-active and helpful. He always reply my questions. We, 6 people, arrive in Kathmandu on the 22nd December 2018. Surya, the driver and his big car are already waiting for us. He manages our trip so well. We go to 4 cities, Kathmandu, Nagarkot, Pokhara and Sarangkot for 12 days. In addition, we do many things happily, Helicopter tour, zip flyer, ultra light flight, single person plane and hiking. We are so happy. Every thing is prepared and executed well. The price of this company’s services is very reasonable. Most important in this trip, he and his staff are very friendly, good English communication, helpful, understanding and cooperative. It is certainly one of our best trip in our life. Nepal is a great country to visit.
