Description

Make the most of your precious vacation days and experience as much of Nepal as you can on the 9-day Chitwan and Pokhara trek!

Starting from Kathmandu, this adventure takes you onto the rushing Trishuli River, into the jungle at Chitwan and on a mini trekking excursion in Pokhara!

The fun begins after you arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport and transfer to the hotel. The night will be spent exploring a local market in Kathmandu.

The next day, we will transfer to Chitwan National Park. On the way, we’ll get our adrenaline pumping and go rafting on the Trishuli River.

Afterwards, we will continue to the national park, where we will get to go out on a safari, seeing some endangered Nepalese wildlife such as elephants and the one-horned rhino. We will then have a cultural experience in the traditional Tharu Village.

After we’ve explored Chitwan National Park, we will continue our tour and head on to Pokhara. In this stunningly scenic mountain town we will get up close to the Hinalayas and enjoy the best views of the entire trip.

On our first full day in Pokhara, we will wake up early and drive to Sarangkot in order to see the sunrise over the Himalayas, which is really quite incredible. The rest of the day will be spent visiting various points of interest.

The following day, we will head out on a mini-trek. After driving up to Dhampus, we will head out through the sublime wilderness and on to Australian camp, spending the night in a traditional tea house.

We will the have one more free day in Pokhara before transferring back to Kathmandu, where we will do some last minute sightseeing before it is time to take you back to the airport.

Thanks to my guide Tanka and porter Chhabi for an awesome trip to the Himalayas! All throughout the trip they ensured that I had everything that I needed and checked in on my comfort level all throughout. The guide took time every day to explain plans for the next day, to take pictures and to point out landmarks. The views of Annapurna I and Machhapuchhare are gorgeous from the Mardi Himal base camp (more so than Mardi Himal itself). Note that you enjoy flexibility during the trip. The camps that you stay at each night are only suggestions - we adjusted from the described plan to time the weather so we could get the best views, and to get off the trail early on Day 5. Much of the trail is improved with steps or stone walkways and it is a popular trail where you will meet other hiking groups. I brought everything suggested by Welcome Nepal Treks for the trip and was well equipped. Communication with Welcome Nepal Treks was entirely through Whatsapp, and I was able to rendezvous with the guide on Day 1 with no problem. I would book a trip with Welcome Nepal Treks again!

We had an amazing Mardi Himal trek. We booked last minute and we were dealt with promptly and professionally. The trek was fully customisable including a stay in a lovely hotel and bus rides to and from Kathmandu. Our guide Amir was awesome and made our trek everything we wanted. Thank you so much!

We hebben echt genoten van onze trekking naar ABC. Jammer genoeg waren er echter overal problemen met de kamer. We hebben dan expres via een agency geboekt en meer betaald, zodat we zeker een kamer overal zouden krijgen. Dit bleek dan een probleem te zijn, omdat er niets op voorhand was geboekt. Ook hebben we last minute (letterlijk 5 min voor de 1e ontmoeting) een bericht van Hari gekregen dat we een andere guide zouden krijgen. Hierbij kregen we geen uitleg. De nieuwe guide had geen EHBO kit mee en wist ook helemaal niet wat allemaal inbegrepen was in onze boeking. Dit was opzich geen probleem, maar het leek plots allemaal niet meer zo goed georganiseerd als het beloofde te zijn. Ondanks dit hebben we echt wel genoten van onze tocht en zijn we blij dat we het gedaan hebben.
