Overview

Gorkha Kingdom tour

    Our Kathmandu-Muktinath Tour will take you on an exciting 6-day, 5-night adventure into the heart of Nepal. This carefully prepared route takes you from Kathmandu's busy streets to the peaceful heights of Muktinath, providing an ideal balance of cultural immersion and natural beauty. Your adventure begins in Kathmandu, Nepal's vibrant capital. Spend your first day exploring the city's UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the ancient Durbar Square, the sacred Pashupatinath Temple, and the iconic Swayambhunath Stupa, also known as the Monkey Temple. Immerse yourself in the rich Nepalese culture, savoring local cuisine and experiencing the warmth of Kathmandu's inhabitants. On day two, you'll travel to Pokhara, often called the jewel of Nepal. This picturesque city, nestled beside Phewa Lake and surrounded by the majestic Annapurna range, offers breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere. Enjoy a boat ride on the lake, visit the Peace Pagoda, and witness a spectacular sunset over the Himalayas.

The journey continues as you make your way to Muktinath, a sacred place for both Hindus and Buddhists. The drive takes you through diverse landscapes, from lush valleys to arid mountains, showcasing Nepal's geographical diversity. Upon reaching Muktinath, you'll have time to acclimatize and explore the local area, preparing for the highlight of your trip. Day four is dedicated to exploring the Muktinath Temple complex. Located at an altitude of 3,710 meters (12,172 feet), this revered site offers stunning views of the Annapurna range. Visit the Vishnu temple, marvel at the eternal flame that burns on natural gas, and take a dip in the 108 water spouts, believed to wash away sins and bring salvation. As you begin your journey back, stop in Pokhara for another night. This gives you a chance to experience any activities you might have missed earlier, such as paragliding, visiting the International Mountain Museum, or simply relaxing by the lake.

Your tour concludes back in Kathmandu, where you'll have time for last-minute shopping in the colorful bazaars of Thamel or visiting any sites you may have missed at the start of your trip. This final day in the capital allows you to reflect on your journey and bid farewell to the enchanting land of Nepal.
