The Nepal Highlight Tour by Kamana International Tours and Travels is a meticulously crafted itinerary that allows travelers to explore the best of Nepal in just 10 days. Starting from the bustling capital of Kathmandu, the tour encompasses cultural, historical, and natural highlights including panoramic mountain views, serene lakes, traditional hill towns, and vibrant wildlife. The journey begins with your arrival in Kathmandu, where you will experience the rich heritage of the Kathmandu Valley, including UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Pashupatinath, Boudhanath, and Patan Durbar Square.
Following the city exploration, the tour continues to Nagarkot for spectacular sunrise views of the Himalayas, and then to Pokhara, the gateway to the Annapurna region. Here, travelers can enjoy the scenic beauty of Phewa Lake, Devi’s Fall, and the iconic Sarangkot viewpoint. The itinerary also includes Bandipur, a charming hill town known for its preserved culture, and finally Chitwan National Park, offering thrilling jungle safaris to spot rhinos, elephants, and exotic bird species. This combination of city tours, hill stations, and wildlife adventures provides a comprehensive and immersive experience of Nepal.
The Nepal Highlight Tour can be enjoyed year-round, but the best time to visit is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons. These months offer clear skies, moderate temperatures, and excellent views of the Himalayan peaks. Spring brings blooming rhododendrons and lush landscapes, while autumn provides crisp air, vibrant festivals, and ideal trekking conditions.
Traveling in the monsoon season (June to August) is less favorable due to heavy rains that can disrupt transportation and limit mountain views. Winter (December to February) is cooler but offers a quieter experience with fewer crowds, though mornings can be chilly. Travelers can choose the season depending on whether they prefer optimal views, cultural festivities, or a quieter travel experience.
