A Journey Through Nepal’s Greatest Highlights

This carefully designed itinerary showcases Nepal’s remarkable diversity.

Your adventure begins in Kathmandu, where ancient temples, sacred shrines, colourful markets, and centuries of history reveal Nepal’s rich cultural heritage. Walking through UNESCO World Heritage Sites provides fascinating insight into Hindu and Buddhist traditions that continue to shape daily life.

A short scenic flight then takes you to Pokhara, Nepal’s beautiful lakeside city nestled beneath the Annapurna Himalayas. Here, peaceful lakes, dramatic mountain scenery, caves, waterfalls, and charming cafés create the perfect atmosphere before your trekking adventure begins.

The highlight for many travellers is the five-day journey through the Annapurna foothills. Unlike challenging mountain expeditions that demand weeks of preparation, this soft Himalayan trek allows you to enjoy spectacular scenery while walking manageable distances through forests, traditional villages, terraced farmland, and rhododendron-covered hills.

Each day brings fresh mountain panoramas, friendly local encounters, and comfortable lodge accommodation where you can relax with delicious meals while watching the sunset over the Himalayas.

After returning to Pokhara for leisure and relaxation, your journey continues south to Chitwan National Park, Nepal’s premier wildlife destination. Here you’ll exchange mountain trails for lush jungles, tranquil rivers, and exciting safaris. Canoeing along the Rapti River, exploring the jungle by jeep, and learning about the indigenous Tharu community provide an entirely different perspective on Nepal’s incredible natural diversity.

Finally, you’ll return to Kathmandu with time for shopping, local exploration, and reflecting on a journey that has taken you through ancient cities, Himalayan villages, pristine forests, and wildlife-rich national parks—all within just two unforgettable weeks.

🇦🇺 Travel Tip for Australian Travellers

Flying from Australia: There are no direct flights to Nepal from Australia. Most travellers fly via Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Doha, Dubai, or Delhi. We recommend arriving in Kathmandu during the afternoon or evening to recover from the long journey before beginning sightseeing the following day.

Expert Advice

Why This Tour Works So Well for First-Time Visitors

Many visitors try to include Everest Base Camp or Annapurna Base Camp in a two-week itinerary, making their holiday rushed and physically demanding. This itinerary takes a different approach by combining Nepal’s three greatest experiences—culture, Himalayan scenery, and wildlife—at a relaxed pace with comfortable accommodation. It is ideal for travellers who want to experience Nepal without extreme trekking or high-altitude challenges.

Local Insight

Why We Include Ghandruk

Ghandruk is one of Nepal’s most picturesque Gurung villages. Beyond its spectacular mountain views, it offers a chance to experience traditional Himalayan village life, local architecture, and warm hospitality. Spending a night here provides a much richer cultural experience than simply visiting on a day hike.

Photography Tip

Best Time for Himalayan Photos

Mountain views are usually clearest between 6:00 am and 9:00 am, particularly during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). Early mornings often provide the best visibility before afternoon clouds develop.

Comfort Travel Tip

Soft Trekking Means More Time to Enjoy the Journey

Daily walks average only 3–5 hours, leaving plenty of time to relax at your lodge, enjoy mountain views, chat with local villagers, or simply unwind with a cup of Nepali tea.

Wildlife Tip

Bring Binoculars

While Chitwan National Park is famous for the one-horned rhinoceros and Bengal tiger, you’ll also have opportunities to spot over 500 bird species, crocodiles, deer, monkeys, and many smaller animals. A compact pair of binoculars greatly enhances the experience.

Sustainable Travel Tip

Support Local Communities

By staying in locally operated lodges, hiring licensed guides, and purchasing handmade crafts directly from village artisans, your visit contributes to local livelihoods and helps preserve Nepal’s unique cultural heritage.

Planning Advice

Best Time to Visit Nepal from Australia

Australian spring and autumn holidays align perfectly with Nepal’s best trekking seasons. Travelling between March and May or September and November offers pleasant temperatures, clear mountain views, and ideal conditions for sightseeing and walking.

Along the route, your guide will introduce you to local farming practices, mountain lifestyles, and the traditions of the Gurung people, one of Nepal's most respected ethnic communities with a long history of serving in the legendary Gurkha regiments.

Cross an impressive suspension bridge over the Modi River before beginning a gentle climb towards the traditional village of Landruk.
