Trek Overview
Do you want a journey to a land that originated from a magical lotus, but in complete luxury? Yes, then Prime Holidays Travels and Tours is pleased to present you with its Kathmandu Pokhara luxury tour. It is a tour of four nights and five days, where we have literally made luxury affordable.
With the lavishness of five-star hotels and the flights between cities instead of lengthy, exhausting drives or treks, our Kathmandu Pokhara luxury tour will surely become a nostalgic jewel in your memory bank.
In this tour, we will take you to two prime cities of Nepal: Kathmandu, the former capital, and the gateway to all mountain expeditions in the country. Then, Pokhara, the tourist capital of Nepal, and the first mountain city that most tourists get acquainted with.
In addition, our Kathmandu Pokhara luxury tour will also get you closer to Nepali people, who are honored around the world for their bravery and kindness.
The tour begins in Kathmandu, where you will visit the spectacular 36 m tall Boudhanath Stupa, one of the largest in the world, and then Pashupatinath, where the bizarre spectacle of an open cremation ceremony will bewilder you.
Then a splendid flight will take you to Pokhara, where Lake Phewa awaits, shimmering with the glorious reflection of Fishtail Mountain. You will then perhaps experience the most beautiful morning of your life in our Kathmandu Pokhara luxury tour.
As we will be taking you to a 1600 m high green lookout hill of Sarangkot that will show you the dancing spectacle of the high edges of the snowy Himalayas of Annapurna I, II, III, IV, South, Hiunchuli, Lamjung, and Fishtail.
In Pokhara, we have thoughtfully planned a one-hour boat ride on Lake Phewa for you, followed by the intriguing visits to Davis Falls, Gupteshwore cave, Mahendra Cave, and Seti River Gorge.
The Davis Falls will amaze you with its cascading waters flowing deep underground, while the sparkling limestones, stalagmites, and stalactites of the caves will leave you in awe. The 45 m deep Seti Gorge will just enchant and baffle you at the same time.
Our Kathmandu Pokhara luxury tour will then fly you back to Kathmandu, where you will once again venture forth to see the 1400 m tall Swayambhunath temple, a self-originated Buddhist temple with all-seeing eyes of Buddha, and then the exquisite Newari treasures of Patan Durbar Square.
A classic Nepal tour will be incomplete without tasting the authentic Nepali meal, so we have organized a cultural dinner for you in the magnetic charm of the original Nepali Chulo restaurant in the heart of Kathmandu.
Overall, our Kathmandu Pokhara luxury tour is truly an extraordinary journey filled with Nepali culture, art, customs, and above all, the high Himalayas and mysticism. We have made this journey for everybody at any time of the year.

Trip Information
Best Season
Kathmandu and Pokhara offer their unique appeal in every season in Nepal. Therefore, any time of the year is perfect for the Kathmandu Pokhara luxury tour.
However, Kathmandu and Pokhara will show their literal beauty in the autumn season (September to November). The mild weather, the brilliant azure sky, the rarity of rain, and the transparent Himalayan views are some of the excellent conditions of this season.
Spring of March to May is the second-best time for our Kathmandu Pokhara luxury tour. The crimson hills, the sweet scented air, and the fresh, thin snow on Sarangkot add to the charm.
In winter (December-February), the mornings and nights can be a bit cold, but once the sun shines through, the days will be amazingly warm. July to August is the wettest and hottest season when you may have to face occasional flight delays, misty mornings, and overshadowed days and evenings.
