Likewise, the tour also takes you to the biggest stupa in Nepal, Boudhanath, one of the most significant pilgrimage sites in the country. How can we forget the very famous Monkey Temple, aka Swayambhunath Stupa. Located on a hilltop, you must climb numerous staircases to reach the top.
Local markets, the bustling streets of Thamel, Garden of Dreams, and Ason Bazaar are other highlights of Kathmandu. We highly recommend tasting Nepali delicacies whenever you get a chance.
Pokhara: The Tourism Hub of Nepal
Pokhara is the second biggest city in Nepal. This place is known as the city of lakes. You stay around Phewa Lake, a gorgeous lake with views of Mt. Fishtail (6,993 m) and Dhaulagiri (8,167 m). Pokhara is famous for its tranquillity and gateway to the Annapurna region.
Here, you can go boating on Phewa Lake, catch gorgeous sunsets, explore the Lakeside Market, if time allows, visit tourist sites like Davis Falls, Peace Pagoda, Gupteshwor Cave, Mahendra Cave, and Begnas Lake.
Ghandruk Trekking
Ghandruk trekking lasts four days. On the fourth day, you'll drive back to Pokhara. Dhampus and Ghandruk are beautiful villages known for their kind locals and breathtaking mountain views. Walking route is easy, so you can do this trek with your family. The trail ascends and descends through lush rhododendron forests.
Ghandruk hiking, spanning four days, offers a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. As you traverse lush rhododendron forests, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of the Annapurna range, Fishtail, Lamjung Himal, Dhaulagiri, and Nilgiri. The walking is designed to be enjoyable, with the bonus of interacting with the warm and friendly locals.
Chitwan National Park
Chitwan is the final travel destination of the 12-day Nepal Family Adventure. Visit Chitwan National Park means participating in wild activities. You will do a jeep safari and a deep jungle walk. Then, there are activities like canoeing, bird watching, bathing with elephants, and visiting their breeding centers. You can see wildlife such as one-horn rhinos, elephants, deer, the royal Bengal tiger, boars, peacocks, and many different birds.
If you can identify plants, Chitwan National Park is a paradise. The park houses hundreds of species of plants. In Chitwan, we'll also visit an indigenous village of the Tharu community. You will see their stick dance in traditional clothes.
How many days are required for a family trip to Nepal?
The duration of your Nepal trip depends on your plan and the places you want to visit. However, we suggest an 8- to 14-day Nepal Family Trip to have a wholesome and pleasant journey. This allows enough time to visit some cultural sites in Kathmandu, rest by the lakes in Pokhara, take a short and scenic trek in the Himalayas, and have a jungle safari in Chitwan with a relaxed, family-friendly approach.
Our bestselling 12-day Nepal Family Adventure is perfect, as it offers the ideal combination of sightseeing, soft adventure, and leisure time to relax and bond with your family. If you don't have much time, even shorter family tours to specific areas, such as Pokhara or Chitwan, can be tailored to suit your needs. The main thing is that there is no need to rush, and your family will have a chance to experience and truly appreciate the beauty and culture of Nepal.
