Kathmandu & Chitwan Travel & Cultural Tour
Leisure & Soft Adventure – 10 Days in Nepal
Perfect for families, couples, solo travelers & small groups
Welcome to Kathmandu – The Cultural Soul of Nepal
Nestled in the heart of the Himalayas, Kathmandu Valley is a vibrant cultural hub that surprises you at every turn. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a honeymooning couple, or a family on vacation, Kathmandu offers an unforgettable experience with its ancient temples, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, charming tea shops, colorful local life, and rooftop cafes.
This small yet richly diverse valley offers something for everyone:
- Visit Pashupatinath, Boudhanath, and Swayambhunath
- Take part in cultural cooking classes, day hikes, or heritage walks
- Explore the local food scene—from authentic Nepalese thalis to Chinese, Indian, Mexican, and Middle Eastern flavors
- Enjoy interactive experiences with local artisans and families
Kathmandu is not just a gateway for Everest Base Camp trek, Annapurna Circuit, or Upper Mustang trek—it’s also a standalone destination for a short, affordable, and meaningful holiday.
Chitwan National Park – Jungle Safari & Local Culture
A 6-hour scenic drive or short flight from Kathmandu brings you to Chitwan National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site and Nepal’s top wildlife destination. It’s ideal for families, nature lovers, and photographers alike.
Highlights include:
- Elephant or Jeep Safari in the park
- Tharu community homestay and cultural dance experience
