To most, Nepal conjures up the image of mighty Mt Everest and other peaks, but its charm, forte, and appeal don’t merely rest on these aspects alone. It spreads to a broader arena – its historical monuments, cultural diversities, charming mid-hills and villages, flora, fauna, gentle people, and more. This revised itinerary of Hilltops and village tour of Nepal, where we smoothen rough edges and added changes evolving with the flow, bring forth these essences of Nepal.
In this swashbuckling trip, which entails a generous dose of leisurely light day walks, affording greater purpose and opportunities to get insights into quaint villages and deeper interaction with the people, we explore landmarks, attractions, and, villages in the constant backdrop of majestic peaks.
The Hilltops and Village tour of Nepal begins with discovering notable sites in Kathmandu Valley, after which the focus shifts readily to the historical renaissance city of Bhaktapur, where every carved wooden structure has its own story to tell. Navigating further, we are closer to the essence of this trip, visiting the least explored villages of Namo Buddha and Pokhara Valley. In Pokhara, we spend two nights on the higher ridge near Sarangkot. From where we can get better views and cooler climes. Our journey continues to the historic Bandipur village, where time seems to stand still, life is unhurried, and people radiate warmth and hospitality.
To give an extra dimension to your experience in the villages, we use a boutique/ village Inn, where traditional ambiance and rural flavor are the order of the day. While in Kathmandu and Pokhara, you stay in modern hotels with a swimming pool.
