Nepal · 5 Nights / 6 Days
Two nights of heritage in Kathmandu, followed by three nights beside Pokhara's lake, with sunrise views over the Annapurna range if the weather allows.
This itinerary balances the Kathmandu Valley's temples and old towns with the more relaxed setting of Pokhara. It suits travellers who want culture first, then lakeside time and mountain views.
The Kathmandu to Pokhara leg can be flown, usually around half an hour, or driven, which takes roughly six to eight hours. We confirm the best option closer to departure, since flights depend on weather and schedules. If you prefer ridge-top views to a lake, Nagarkot can replace Pokhara for a shorter version.

Arrive at Kathmandu airport and transfer to your hotel. Rest, or take a gentle walk to a nearby neighbourhood or a local cafe.
With a guide, see Kathmandu Durbar Square, Swayambhunath and Boudhanath. Pashupatinath can be viewed from the river bank, subject to access rules.
Travel to Pokhara by morning flight (subject to weather and schedules) or by road, allowing most of the day. Take an easy lakeside walk or boat ride in the late afternoon.
Start early for sunrise at Sarangkot, weather permitting, with views of the Annapurna and Machhapuchhre peaks. After breakfast, visit the World Peace Pagoda and take a slow boat on Phewa Lake.
Explore the old bazaar, Davi's Fall and the International Mountain Museum, or simply rest. An optional short village walk or a visit to Gupteshwor Cave can be added.
Return to Kathmandu by air or road for onward travel, allowing generous time before international departures if you are travelling by road.
Kathmandu-Pokhara flights are short but weather-dependent; the road takes much of a day. We choose based on dates and comfort.
Visibility varies by season and day. Mornings in the cooler months offer the best chance.
Altitude is not a concern on this itinerary.
Allow ample buffer if you have an international connection on the day you return from Pokhara.
