Marvel Adventure offers a tour of the three most beautiful cities of Nepal, viz. Kathmandu, Chitwan, and Pokhara. A guided tour of these cities provides a wonderful opportunity to savor all sorts of cultural and natural splendor that Nepal has to offer in a short span of time.

Kathmandu, the beating heart of Nepal, is the gateway to tourism in the beautiful nation of the Himalayas. Situated in a bowl-shaped valley in central Nepal, the medieval city of Kathmandu is renowned as a treasure trove of Nepalese culture. Kathmandu Durbar Square, Pashupatinath, Bouddhanath, and Swayambhunath, all of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, are the major attractions of this historic city.  A guided sightseeing tour of these historical sites presents you with a golden opportunity to observe the exquisite monuments, artistic temples, divine art and sculptures, and several other architectural marvels. Furthermore, you can also visit the temple of Kumari, the Living Goddess of Nepal.

After a glorious tour of Kathmandu Valley, the wildlife of Chitwan awaits you. A scenic drive of around 5 hours from Kathmandu takes you to the beautiful city of Chitwan. Chitwan literally means "Heart of the Jungle". A full-day visit to Chitwan National Park, the first-ever national park of Nepal, established in 1973, makes this tour more fascinating. Various rare flora and fauna including the one-horned rhinoceros and the Bengal tiger, can be spotted in the national park. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a glorious venue for bird watchers as well, since more than 250 species of birds can be seen in the national park. Jungle safari, elephant riding, river boating, and canoeing are the exciting activities that you could relish during the Chitwan tour.

Pokhara, the city of lakes, is the most attractive tourist destination where you can rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul amidst scenery that is simply breathtaking. The reflection of the majestic snow-capped mountains of the Annapurna range and Mt. Fishtail on the surface water of Phewa Lake creates a miraculous outlook that you would love to capture on your camera. Exploring around the beautiful venues such as Sarangkot, World Peace Pagoda, Davis Falls, Bindabasini Temple, and Mahendra Cave is the premier highlight of the Pokhara tour. Moreover, you can also enjoy adventure sports such as paragliding, boating, ultra-light flights, and zip-line flying in Pokhara.

Trip Highlights

  • Sightseeing of historical sites in Kathmandu
  • Jungle safari in Chitwan National Park
