Today we take the one hour drive to Bhaktapur. Among the three major cities of the Kathmandu Valley, Bhaktapur remains as close to the living representation of how the entire Kathmandu Valley would have looked like during the medieval periods. The city is celebrated for its glorious architecture; sky-high temples built in pagoda style.We take lunch here before moving up to the Hill station of Nagarkot. Nagarkot (2175m) is known for its glorious sunset and sunrise views over the Himalayas ranges from Dhaulagiri in the west and Mt. Everest in the east.
Soon after Breakfast we leave for the seven hours drive to the Pokhara, city of lakes. Pokhara is a very special place with its natural beauty providing you great photo opportunities. Walk along the shores of the Fewa lake enjoying the greenery surrounding you with a spectacular panoramic view of the high Himalayan peaks of the Annapurna Massif that reflect in the lake. This is time to truly relax at leisure perhaps in a lakeside restaurant or do some boating.
The World Peace stupa is located on a hill just above the famous lake Fewa facing Mount Fishtail.The Stupa offers a great place to see the sun set over Pokhara with beautiful views of Annapurna and Fishtail.We move on to Devis Falls also known as Patale Chhango, this waterfall marks the point where the Pardi Khola stream vanishes underground. When the stream is at its most foremost in October after the monsoon rains, the sound of the water plunging over the falls is deafening.Across the road from Devi’s Falls, this revered cave contains a huge stalagmite worshiped by Hindus as a Shiva lingam. Through a tunnel behind the shrine we emerge in a damp cavern adjacent to the thundering waters of Devi’s Falls.
We start the day off with an incredible view of the Nepal sunrise with a drive to the small hilltop of Sarangkot that contains a breathtaking view of the sunrise over the Annapurna range, and Pokhara. We return to our hotel for breakfast before continuing our journey to Chitwan National Park for Safari. After Checking into our Safari Lodge in the evening there will be a cultural dance program.
Chitwan is situated in the southern region of Nepal, the jungles of Chitwan National Park are ideal for wildlife experiences like no other.
