Description

In spite of its small size, you could spend an entire lifetime exploring Nepal and still not discover all that this marvelous little country has to offer! To that end, we offer you our Kathmandu, Chitwan and Pokhara hiking tour.

Over the course of eight days, this tour serves as a perfect sampling of the country, taking visitors from the UNESCO World Heritage sites in the capital, to the Nepalese jungle and, of course, into some of the country’s most iconic Himalayan wilderness.

The adventure begins shortly after you arrive in Tribhuvan International Airport. After transferring to the three-star hotel, we will spend the evening exploring the nearby tourist market in Themel.

The following day, we will have a proper tour, visiting all of the most iconic spots in the city, including its various UNESCO World Heritage sites. (For a detailed itinerary, see below.)

Once we’ve had our fill of Nepal’s capital, we will move on to the Royal Chitwan National Park. Here, we will get the chance to see some of Nepal’s rare and endangered wildlife, including the one-horned rhino and elephants.

While we’re here, we’ll get the chance to explore the park from all angles, hiking in the thick jungle as well as canoeing on one of the park’s rivers.

After exploring the jungle, it is time for the highlight of the trip. We will drive from Chitwan National Park on to Pokhara. Along the way, we’ll get simply stunning views of the Annapurna massif and get the chance to explore a temple, waterfall, cave, museum and gorge. Talk about an eclectic experience!

Perhaps the climax of the trip is the following day, when we get up early and drive to Sarankot, in order to see a sunrise over the iconic Himalayan mountains. It’s really an unforgettable experience.

Our trip winds down with a day of exploring Pokhara before returning to Kathmandu and saying our goodbyes.

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.
