This package covers almost all the popular tourist drawcards of Nepal, highlighting those cultural and natural aspects that make Nepal one of the must-visit tourist destinations in the world. This simply is an opportunity to enjoy the best of Nepal in just a single shot.

From the valley, we now move towards the tropical low land, where another world heritage site ‘Chitwan National Park’ protects over 932 sq km of sal forest, water swamps, and elephant grassland is located. It is also one of the leading wildlife-viewing national parks in Asia, where one can spot 50 different species of mammals that include one-horned rhinos, deer, monkeys, royal Bengal Tiger, leopards, and wild elephants, around 450 species of birds, and 67 species of butterflies. An insight into the lifestyle and culture of the Tharu people (one of the largest ethnic groups in Nepal) is an additional benefit of this visit.
Leaving the wildlife of Chitwan, we now head towards a serene subtropical paradise that sits about 400m lower than Kathmandu and presents the masterpieces of mother nature for people looking to bask in the beauty of nature along with the peaceful countryside experience.
With the stunning views of Annapurna massif and Machhapuchhre, this city of lakes exhibits mysterious caves, cascading waterfalls, historical temples, and museums to make the day memorable. Enjoying the sunrise view from Sarangkot, we drive back to Kathmandu ending the 8-day Best of Nepal Tour.
