Description

In spite of its small size, there is enough to see and do in Nepal to fill a lifetime-long itinerary!

Unfortunately, few of us have that long to explore this incredible country. For those on a tight schedule, our 6-day Kathmandu and Pokhara tour may be just the thing!

Perfect for families and small children, this tour takes you on a journey through two of Nepal's most iconic cities, seeing some of their most important sites and visiting other lesser known ones too.

The fun begins after you arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport and transfer to your hotel. The following day, we will head out and explore Kathmandu, the Nepalese capital.

We will see all of the city's UNESCO World Heritage sites and visit a few others as well. (See itinerary below for more details.)

The next day, we will transfer to Pokhara, an enchanting city nestled into a valley at the foot of the Himalayas.

During the dry season, making the six hour drive is the best way to get here, allowing us to see as much of the incredible countryside as we can. In the monsoon season, it is better to make the 25 minute flight, as the highways are frequently in poor conditions.

In Pokhara, we will spend our first day walking on the shores of Fewa Lake.

The following day, we will wake up nice and early in order to see the sunrise over some of the most iconic peaks in the Himalayas, from Sarangkot. We'll spend the rest of the day exploring various other nearby points of interest.

Our trip begins to wind to an end as we return to Kathmandu for one last day before we take you to the airport the following day and we say our goodbyes.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this unforgettable 6-day Kathmandu and Pokhara hiking and sightseeing tour!

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
