Known as a backpacker’s paradise this tourist area is filled with hotels, restaurants, and souvenir shops! For your first evening, Trekking Planner invites you to a welcome dinner in a traditional Nepalese restaurant with a live cultural show. The next day we go sightseeing around the Kathmandu Valley’s most famous landmarks. First up is the legendary Swayambunath Stupa, resting on a jungle hill on the edge of Kathmandu city. Second, up is a visit and exploration tour around Kathmandu’s Durbar Square. This palace square is filled with cobbling alleys, markets, and ancient buildings! In the afternoon we visit the Boudhanath Stupa and the Pashupatinath Temple. For your second day in Nepal, we travel to Pokhara. Located just southeast of the Annapurna Himalayas, this city comes just out of a painting. Resting peacefully at the shores of Phewa Lake, Pokhara is also known as Nepal’s favorite touristic spot! We’ll spend time boating on Phewa Lake and visit the Tal Barahi Temple and the World Peace Shanti Stupa. On land, we can choose to see an amazing sunrise view from Sarangkot or go directly sightseeing at Davi’s Falls and the Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave running below it! We spend the last day in Nepal traveling back to Kathmandu and enjoying Nepal for the last time. As we make way for Tibet and the last part of the incredible Bhutan, Nepal, and Tibet sightseeing tour of 12 days!
Tibet, and Lhasa:
When you think of Tibet, you most definitely imagine secluded Himalayan Buddhist Monasteries and Buddhist monks! Well, you are not incorrect! Arriving at Lhasa makes you realize that. To end the Bhutan, Nepal, and Tibet sightseeing tour of 12 days we plan sightseeing in Tibet’s capital city Lhasa. The city is incredibly clean and your eyes quickly catch a glimpse of the incredible big Potala Palace, which we’ll visit. It will take most of the day to travel to Tibet from Nepal and we can take an afternoon walk around Lhasa before turning in for the night. The next day we’ll visit the most famous place in Lhasa; the Potala Palace. The Jokhang Temple and Barkhor Street. At Barkhor Street, you can do a round walking tour, as a sort of ritual to cleanse yourself of negative thoughts. The next day we plan a visit to two of the great Gelug Monasteries, the Drepung and Sera Monasteries. We’ll also plan a visit to the Buddhist Sculpture Carving Workshop!
