Summary

Adventure begins with a scenic drive from Raxaul, winding through the lush landscapes of the Trishuli River valley. A highlight of the ascent is the visit to Manakamna Temple, reached by a stunning cable car ride that offers panoramic views of the verdant hills.

      ​Once in Kathmandu, the itinerary dives deep into Nepal's religious tapestry. You will explore five UNESCO World Heritage and sacred sites: ​Pashupatinath Temple, Swayambhunath, Budhanilkantha and Durbar Square.

    Journey transitions from the urban spiritual center to the tranquil lakeside charm of Pokhara. Known as the gateway to the Annapurnas, Pokhara serves as a launchpad for an authentic mountain experience. 

     Highlight of the mid-trip is a venture into Ghandruk Village. This traditional Gurung settlement provides a front-row seat to some of the world’s most spectacular peaks, including Annapurna South, Hiunchuli and the iconic Machhapuchhre (Fishtail). Walking through the village and visiting Old Gurung Museum offers a rare glimpse into resilient lifestyle and rich traditions of mountain people.

     As the loop returns toward Pokhara, focus shifts to raw power of nature. You will witness thunderous Davis Falls and experience legendary golden hour at Sarangkot, where sunset paints the Himalayan range in hues of orange and pink. The trip concludes with a reflective morning at Phewa Lake before descent back to Raxaul, leaving travelers with a profound sense of peace and a camera full of memories.
