This Kathmandu Pokhara Tour package ensures a comfortable schedule, allowing you to savour diverse cuisine, interact with friendly locals, and appreciate the region’s art and architecture. Experience a perfect balance of cultural richness and scenic splendour in just a few unforgettable days.
Begin your Kathmandu Pokhara Tour in Nepal’s vibrant capital city. This initial part of the Kathmandu Tour focuses on exploring three ancient cities with immense cultural and historical significance. Start with Bhaktapur Durbar Square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Admire wood and stone carvings that reflect centuries of craftsmanship. Stroll through its narrow streets lined with pagoda-style temples and palaces. Each structure showcases intricate designs and a rich architectural heritage.
After experiencing Bhaktapur, continue the Kathmandu Tour by visiting other UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Pashupatinath, Boudhanath Stupa, and Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple). These landmarks highlight Nepal’s religious diversity, bringing Hindu and Buddhist traditions together. Observe how faiths coexist harmoniously in these sacred spaces. Take time to appreciate the spectacular architecture that blends beauty and spirituality. Each site offers unique photo opportunities and memorable insights into local culture.
This initial phase sets the stage for a balanced itinerary. Once you complete your Kathmandu Tour, you can look forward to the Pokhara Tour, where natural wonders await. By first exploring Kathmandu’s historic landmarks, you gain a better understanding of Nepal’s cultural roots before heading towards the serene landscapes that define the rest of the Kathmandu Pokhara Tour.
Consider adding a Kathmandu Pokhara Tour to your Nepal itinerary if you seek a blend of cultural richness and natural beauty. Starting with a Kathmandu Tour, explore historic temples and vibrant markets. Afterwards, move on to the Pokhara Tour, where quieter streets and a smaller population create a calm environment.
To reach Pokhara from Kathmandu, you can take a road trip that lasts about eight hours. The drive passes through rolling hills and green valleys. If you prefer a faster option, pay an additional fee for a brief flight. Arriving sooner gives you more time to appreciate Pokhara’s serene lakes and stunning mountain panoramas. The city is famous for its views of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail).
In Pokhara, start your day with a sunrise visit to Sarangkot. Watch the morning light reveal the Himalayan peaks in delicate colours. Later, go boating at Phewa Lake, stroll around Devi’s Falls, and explore Gupteshwor Cave. For a different perspective, visit the Tibetan Refugee Camp, Peace Stupa, and Pumdikot. Adventure seekers can try paragliding, bungee jumping, zip-lining, mountain biking, or rafting.
In the evening, relax at lakeside restaurants and bars. If you want to add more variety, extend your trip by including a Chitwan Tour Package for a couple of extra days. The Kathmandu Pokhara Tour provides a well-rounded experience that balances urban culture with natural attractions.
A representative from Peregrine will meet you at the airport, holding a name card with your details. They will guide you to a comfortable vehicle and drive you directly to your hotel. Settle in, relax, and adjust to the local environment before the adventure begins.
In the evening, attend a short orientation about the Kathmandu Pokhara Tour. This session helps you understand the schedule, highlights, and activities planned. You will learn practical tips and advice, ensuring a smooth experience during your stay in Nepal. The discussion also includes essential details about the Kathmandu and Pokhara Tour, ensuring you know what to expect.
Explore historic temples, vibrant markets, and cultural landmarks during the Kathmandu segment. The Kathmandu Tour focuses on local traditions, ancient architecture, and tasty cuisine. Listen carefully as your guide shares insights about monuments, hidden corners, and interesting stories.
Later, prepare for the Pokhara Tour, where scenic lakes, mountain views, and peaceful surroundings await. Your guide will discuss the best viewpoints, boating opportunities, and local villages. Take notes and ask questions so you feel confident and excited.
After the orientation, rest well. You start your Kathmandu Pokhara Tour with a clear plan and a calm mind.

The road is hilly, and several sections may be under construction, so be prepared for a slow but scenic ride. This option costs no extra fee but leaves less time for exploration upon arrival.
On the other hand, you can choose a flight for a quicker 35-minute trip. This option costs an additional USD 120. By flying, you save hours and can spend the remaining part of the day enjoying a short Pokhara Tour. Explore the calm ambiance of Phewa Lake and consider a relaxing boating experience. Enjoy the reflection of the Annapurna range in the lake’s clear waters. If you opt for the bus route, you will arrive later, leaving little to no time for leisure activities that day.

While exploring the rich cultural landscapes on your Kathmandu Pokhara Tour, it’s important to know that Nepal accepts a variety of major international currencies. You can easily exchange the US Dollar, Great Britain Pound, Euro, Australian Dollar, Singapore Dollar, Indian Rupee, Swiss Franc, Canadian Dollar, Japanese Yen, Chinese Yuan, Saudi Arabian Riyal, Qatari Riyal, Thai Baht, UAE Dirham, Malaysian Ringgit, South Korean Won, Swedish Krona, Danish Krone, Hong Kong Dollar, Kuwaiti Dinar, and Bahraini Dinar into Nepalese Rupees (NPR).
Carrying Nepalese Rupees is advisable for small purchases, local markets, and tipping. Currency exchange services are widely available at airports, banks, and authorized exchange counters in both Kathmandu and Pokhara, making it convenient to obtain local currency as needed during your Pokhara Tour.
Keeping your electronic devices charged is essential as you explore the sights and sounds of Kathmandu and Pokhara. Nepal uses power plugs and sockets of types C, D, and M. The standard voltage is 230 V, and the frequency is 50 Hz. Bringing a universal travel adapter compatible with these plug types ensures that you can charge your phones, cameras, and other devices without any issues. Most hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara provide electrical outlets suitable for these plugs, so staying connected during your Kathmandu Pokhara Tour is hassle-free.
No specific vaccinations are required to enter Nepal, simplifying your preparation for the Pokhara Tour. Consult your doctor before traveling. They may suggest routine vaccinations or offer advice based on your personal health history and the duration of your stay. Taking this step ensures that you remain healthy and can fully enjoy all the experiences Kathmandu and Pokhara offer.
Securing the appropriate visa is crucial to planning your Kathmandu Pokhara Tour. Nepal provides an On-Arrival Visa service at its international airports and land border crossings, making it convenient for most travelers. Upon arrival, you can obtain a tourist visa by filling out a simple application form and paying the visa fee. The fees are as follows:
Having exact changes in US Dollars can expedite the process. It’s important to note that travelers from Nigeria, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Cameroon, Somalia, Liberia, Ethiopia, Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan, and Syria must obtain a visa in advance from their nearest Nepalese embassy or consulate. Ensuring all travel documents are in order before starting your Pokhara Tour helps avoid any inconveniences upon arrival.
Reliable internet access enhances your experience during the Kathmandu Pokhara Tour, allowing you to stay connected with loved ones and access important information. We recommend you to buy local SIM Card. The two main providers in Nepal are Nepal Telecom (NTC), which is government-owned, and NCELL, a private company. Both offer competitive data plans suitable for tourists.
You can buy a SIM card at the airport, where staff will assist you with activation and selecting a data package that fits your needs. Having a local SIM card not only provides internet access but also makes it easier to contact us and locate our airport representative upon your arrival in Kathmandu.
One of the conveniences you’ll enjoy during your Pokhara Tour is the availability of electricity. All hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara offer 24/7 electricity, allowing you to charge your devices and use electrical appliances anytime. This uninterrupted power supply ensures that your cameras, phones, and other gadgets are always ready to capture the unforgettable moments of your trip. The modern amenities provided by city hotels contribute to a comfortable and pleasant stay as you explore the urban landscapes and cultural sites.
Packing wisely enhances your comfort and enjoyment throughout the Kathmandu Pokhara Tour. Consider bringing light, comfortable clothing suitable for city exploration, such as breathable shirts, trousers, and comfortable walking shoes. Pack a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings. Don’t forget essentials like sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat for sun protection, and any personal medications you may need.
A small backpack is handy for carrying items during day trips, and a reusable water bottle helps you stay hydrated while reducing plastic waste. For your electronics, remember to bring chargers, a power bank, and the necessary adapters for Nepal’s electrical outlets.
Please email us for a detailed packing list tailored to the season and specific activities planned during your Pokhara Tour. We’ll provide personalized recommendations to ensure you’re fully prepared and comfortable throughout your stay.

Alternatively, start a tour through the wilds and wonders of Nepal with the Kathmandu Pokhara and Chitwan tour, also known as the Golden Triangle Tour.

Enjoy glimpses of exotic wildlife, including the one-horned rhino and the mighty Bengal Tiger. When you reach the lake city of Pokhara, you’ll be mesmerized by the stunning lake-side views and have the chance to take a boat ride and paraglide over the city.
Or, if you’re looking for some extra adventure, why not stay an additional day in Pokhara? You will find plenty of thrilling yet fun activities to pass the time. From kayaking on the pristine waters of Phewa Lake, exploring the mesmerizing Annapurna Range, hiking up to World Peace Stupa, or trying white-water rafting along the Seti River and exploring the caves of Mahendra Gupha, there are a ton of things to do.

To avoid complications, consider hiring a professional driver or using reputable transportation services during your Kathmandu Pokhara Tour.
