Description

In spite of its small size, you could spend an entire lifetime exploring Nepal and still not discover all that this marvelous little country has to offer! To that end, we offer you our Kathmandu, Chitwan and Pokhara hiking tour.

Over the course of eight days, this tour serves as a perfect sampling of the country, taking visitors from the UNESCO World Heritage sites in the capital, to the Nepalese jungle and, of course, into some of the country’s most iconic Himalayan wilderness.

The adventure begins shortly after you arrive in Tribhuvan International Airport. After transferring to the three-star hotel, we will spend the evening exploring the nearby tourist market in Themel.

The following day, we will have a proper tour, visiting all of the most iconic spots in the city, including its various UNESCO World Heritage sites. (For a detailed itinerary, see below.)

Once we’ve had our fill of Nepal’s capital, we will move on to the Royal Chitwan National Park. Here, we will get the chance to see some of Nepal’s rare and endangered wildlife, including the one-horned rhino and elephants.

While we’re here, we’ll get the chance to explore the park from all angles, hiking in the thick jungle as well as canoeing on one of the park’s rivers.

After exploring the jungle, it is time for the highlight of the trip. We will drive from Chitwan National Park on to Pokhara. Along the way, we’ll get simply stunning views of the Annapurna massif and get the chance to explore a temple, waterfall, cave, museum and gorge. Talk about an eclectic experience!

Perhaps the climax of the trip is the following day, when we get up early and drive to Sarankot, in order to see a sunrise over the iconic Himalayan mountains. It’s really an unforgettable experience.

Our trip winds down with a day of exploring Pokhara before returning to Kathmandu and saying our goodbyes.

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.
