A brief tour orientation will be arranged to introduce you to the itinerary, explain the upcoming activities, and provide essential information about your journey. Your guide will also answer any questions you may have.
The remainder of the day is free for you to relax or explore Kathmandu at your own pace. Depending on your arrival time and energy level, you may take a walk through the surrounding streets, sample traditional Nepali cuisine, visit nearby shops, or simply enjoy the comfort of your hotel.

Upon arrival, you will check in to your hotel near the Lakeside area. The remainder of the afternoon is available for relaxation and informal exploration. You can enjoy a peaceful walk beside Phewa Lake, observe local boat activity, or explore the lively Lakeside bazaar.
This scenic journey offers a pleasant transition from Kathmandu’s historic environment to Pokhara’s peaceful lakeside setting.
Your fourth day begins early with a drive to Sarangkot Hill, one of Pokhara’s popular viewpoints. From here, you can enjoy the sunrise over the Himalayan mountains, with the first rays of sunlight illuminating the Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Machhapuchhre ranges when visibility is favorable.
