Nepal · 8 Nights / 9 Days
A slower Nepal with hill-village stays: Kathmandu, Nagarkot or Bandipur, Pokhara and Chitwan, with gentle walks and few rushed transfers.
This plan adds a night in the hills before Pokhara, such as Bandipur, a small preserved bazaar town, for a quieter pace and a walk with long views. It suits travellers who prefer a smaller number of bigger places and time to wander.
Bandipur and Nagarkot are optional alternatives depending on your direction of travel and the season. See the six-night route for a shorter plan.
