Trip Overview

Our Short Nepal Luxury Tour has been designed with the concept that little things matter the most. It promises a luxurious experience in the lap of the Himalayas, catering you a first-hand experience within a short time. This tour showcases the cultural richness, ancient heritages, natural landscapes, and warmth of familiarness, featuring two beautiful cities; Kathmandu and Pokhara.

Kathmandu focuses on the cultural aspects whereas Pokhara lets you experience the natural beauties of Nepal. The luxury of this tour is emphasized in the accommodations and personalized services you get throughout the journey. Also, the central location of your stay makes it easy access for you to visit major local markets in your leisure time. There’s also an option for you to engage in the in-house amenities of your hotel if you want to just relax and enjoy the excellent service from the hotel. The amenities such as an onsite spa, a wellness center, a bar, a casino, and a swimming pool can be enjoyed. Most importantly, a short Nepal luxury tour package appreciates the worth of your visit and the satisfaction that follows in a limited time.

Kathmandu Valley, the capital city of Nepal is the major tourist hub of Nepal. It is home to rich ancient heritages, various authentic delicacies to try, vibrant street life, and busy local markets satisfying everyone in different ways. The valley carries the most unique historical stories unfolding differently with the various sites you visit. You will explore ancient landmarks such as Kathmandu durbar square, Patan durbar square, Pashupatinath temple, Swayambhunath temple, Boudhanath Stupa and Chandragiri hills among which most of these are UNESCO-listed world heritage sites. Providing an insight into this rich heritage while you savor the authentic vibes and richness of the country is the main motive of this tour.

Pokhara is a beautiful city highlighting 9 pristine lakes and panoramic mountain peaks amidst the settings of local crowds, cozy cafes, restaurants, shopping areas, and vibrant street life. Some of the major attractions you will visit are Sarangkot hill station, the World peace pagoda, Gupteshwor temple cave, Bindhyabasini temple, and the Tal Barahi temple. In addition to it, lakeside presents a wide range of dining options, city nightlife, and shopping areas. You can get quality time by yourself in the evening strolling around the lakeside area.

Pilgrimage Sightseeing

Every year thousands of devotees visit different pilgrimage sites in Nepal for various religious and spiritual purposes. The major pilgrimage sites you will visit are Pashupatinath, Boudhanath, Swayambhunath, and Bhaleshwar temple in Kathmandu. Likewise, Gupteshwor Cave, Bindhyabasini temple, and Tal Barahi temple in Pokhara.

Pashupatinath, a pagoda-style Hindu temple is surrounded by 492 temples, 15 Shivalayas, and 12 Jyotirlinga. Apart from sightseeing, you can also participate in Bagmati arati (conducted every evening). You will visit Swayambhunath stupa and Boudhanath, the noteworthy Buddhist shrines that add a peaceful and calming vibe to your visit. Gupteshwor cave is a temple cave dedicated to Lord Shiva which will impress you with its rock formation and the Davis waterfall cutting through it. Outside the entrance of the falls, you will find some local shops selling jewelry and handicrafts which you can buy as a souvenir. Another artistic temple you will visit is Bindhyabasini temple, a Shikhar-style temple with a golden gate. As you take a boat to Tal Barahi temple, you will get a spiritual vibe halfway to the temple accompanied by the Phewa lake. Tal Barahi temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Ajima.

Explore the Nature

Nepal is rich in natural aspects due to its diverse geography. On this tour experience the untamed natural beauty of Pokhara displayed by the towering Himalayas from Sarangkot hill, and serene Phewa Lake as you take part in boating. Sarangkot features the luxury of pleasing your eyes with the glorious sunrise and sunset views from your resort. You can witness a wide range of Himalayan ranges such as Mt. Annapurna, Hiuchuli, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchre, and Manaslu. Apart from Sarangkot, The World peace pagoda and Pumdikot shiva statue which are also popular pilgrimage sites serve as a view tower for the Pokhara valley view and mountain ranges such as Mt. Dhaulagiri and Mt. Annapurna. Furthermore, Davi’s fall is one of the other interesting sites which is 150m in height and runs further 30m from ground level cutting through Gupteshwor Cave. What's more mysterious is the rock formations and most of the statues inside the cave are believed to have been made naturally.

Chandragiri hill at an altitude of 2,551 meters, is a bit far away from the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu which serves as a vantage point for Kathmandu valley view and some panoramic mountain views from Annapurna to Everest on clear days. You will reach the top by a 9-minute cable car ride. You can also choose to have lunch at Chandragiri hills resort, 1 KM away from Bhaleshwar temple.

Cultural and Historical Heritages

Going through the cultural and historical lane of Nepal, Kathmandu valley alone serves as a pillar for Nepalese culture and history. The major cultural heritages of Nepal include the three durbar squares such as Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur durbar squares, out of which you will visit Kathmandu and Patan. Kathmandu and Patan durbar squares will let you get close to the artistic talent of Nepal featuring palaces, courtyards, museums, monuments, Hitis (stone taps), local alleys and corners that used to be the palace of the Late Malla kings. Inside the durbar squares, you can witness beautiful architecture such as the Kumari Ghar (house of Goddess Kumari), Taleju temple, and Jagannath temple which is one of the architecturally beautiful temples. Similarly, Patan durbar square is home to cultural heritages such as Manga Hiti, Patan Museum, and Krishna Mandir (1st specimen of Shikhar style architecture in Nepal). Most of these heritages are Newari architectures with different woodcarvings and metalworks.

Adventure Activities

During your short Nepal luxury tour, you can get involved in adventure activities in Pokhara that provide you with exciting and thrilling experiences. The activities are zip flying, paragliding, and ultralight flights. All of these activities can be completed within a time frame of 1 and a half hours. Besides these, another activity you can add to your list is the Everest Mountain flight conducted from Kathmandu. It is a 1-hour mountain flight that takes you to witness the majestic view of mountains above 8,000m such as Mt. Everest (8,848m), Cho-Oyu (8,201m), Lhotse (8,516m), Shisapangma (8,013m), Kanchenjunga (8,586m), Makalu (8,463m).

Travel Guide and Tips

To help you plan an unforgettable journey from India to Nepal, this travel guide and tips section covers all the necessary things you need to take into consideration, from essential money/currency tips to the most favorable times to visit, required travel documents, and much more.

Trip Booking Process

At Holidays to Nepal, we make booking your trip easy with a straightforward process designed to best suit your travel needs. Listed below are our five simple and easy to follow steps that you can use to book your next ultimate adventure!

STEP 1: Share Your Travel Requirements.

In order to book a travel package with Holidays to Nepal, you have to first send us your travel requirements, which include sharing details like your desired destination(s), preferred travel dates and duration, number of travelers, hotel category, arrival/departure date, and your contact information. 

For this, you can simply reach out to us through our WhatsApp number: +977-9851166779 or Email us at [email protected]. After this, we’ll send you a basic travel package, which is made on the basis of your travel requirements and will include your itinerary details, inclusions/exclusions, sightseeing destinations, total cost, and other necessary information. 

STEP 2: Review and Customize Your Package.

You can then review this package and make any changes (if required). If there are any modifications that are to be made, we’ll then work on all those aspects, customize it to your needs, and resend you the final revised quotation. 

After making the final changes, we’ll then reserve your hotels and update you with an invoice for the advance payment.

STEP 3: Make the Payment.

To move forward, we require an advance payment of INR 10,000 per person to proceed with the booking. After our team receives the advance payment, we’ll then confirm the reserved hotels and make all the other needed arrangements and communicate these essential aspects with you.

STEP 4: Receive the Revised Invoice.

After this, we’ll then share with you all the hotel booking vouchers, required flight tickets, and the revised invoice via WhatsApp or email.

Depending on your package, these may include the finalized quotation, hotel booking details, flight tickets, transportation details, and other essential details. We recommend you check all this information carefully, and if you notice any discrepancies, please inform our team, and we’ll be sure to make these needed changes. 

STEP 5: Settle Your Balance.

The remaining payment of the tour must be paid on the first day of arrival, and the company won’t be liable for any service disturbance due to the partial payment from the client’s end. 

Important Trip Note: Further, the clients or agent will be responsible for the unavailability of hotels and flights due to the late confirmation and advance booking payment. We recommend confirming your travel arrangements as early as possible, especially during peak travel seasons and public holidays.

Required Travel Documents for Visiting Nepal

Indian citizens do not require a visa when traveling from India to Nepal due to the Indo Nepal Treaty of Peace and Friendship signed in 1950. This allows citizens of both these nations to move freely between India and Nepal without requiring a visa. 

However, visa exemption does not mean that travelers can enter without appropriate identification. If you’re planning to visit Nepal, make sure that you carry these documents listed down below:

Adults (If you’re above 18)

Original Passport or Voter Card

Children and minors (If you’re under 18)

Passport or Birth Certificate/Adhar Card 

Money and Currency Tips

Setting a budget for any international destination can be a tricky situation, especially if you’re visiting a destination for the first time. While traveling to Nepal from India, it is necessary for travelers to plan their finances carefully. This includes understanding Nepal’s local currency, payment options, necessary travel costs, and money management strategies. 

Understanding Nepal’s Local Currency

Nepal’s official currency is the Nepalese Rupee (NPR), and although the Indian Rupee is accepted in many places (though restrictions related to denominations apply), Nepalese Rupee still remains the preferred currency for most daily transactions. 

Bringing Cash to Nepal

Indian and other foreign nationalities can bring USD 5000 in cash (or its equivalent in Indian currency or other foreign currencies) to Nepal without any custom declaration. An amount exceeding this requires a formal customs declaration and certification.

Additionally, in relation to Indian rupee transactions, Indian rupee notes of new denominations 200 and 500 can be brought, taken, and exchanged by Nepali or Indian citizens up to a limit of Indian rupees of 25,000 per person. Travelers can also bring Indian rupee notes of new denominations of 100 up to a limit of 5000 INR.

Likewise, Indian rupee notes of denominations 500 and 1000, which were used before, cannot be transacted. 

Note: Before traveling, we suggest you check the latest requirements listed on the official websites published by Nepal Rastra Bank if you plan to carry a substantial amount of cash. 

Your overall budget depends upon your desired destination, travel style, accommodation, shopping plans, and many other factors, so we recommend you set aside a suitable amount for your daily travel expenses when traveling in Nepal. 

Make Digital Payments using UPI in Nepal

For travelers who want to make online payments, Indian visitors can also make UPI (Unified Payments Interface) payments in Nepal in stores by scanning compatible Fonepay merchant QR codes. 

But please keep in consideration that this service is only applicable to participating merchant QR codes, so every QR code in Nepal will not work with an Indian UPI app. 

UPI apps like PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm, and BHIM can pay in Nepal by enabling the “international payments” option in the app itself. 

Using ATMS and Bank Cards in Nepal

Indian travelers are also able to withdraw Nepalese rupees from ATMs in Nepal, but this depends upon the bank, card network, and ATM operator. 

Before your travel days, we suggest you check whether the card that you’re planning to use is applicable for international withdrawals. Additionally, credit and debit cards are accepted at many hotels, restaurants, and shopping malls, while smaller establishments and local vendors may prefer cash.

For convenience, Indian visitors can carry a combination of cash, a card, and an UPI app rather than just relying on one method of payment. 

Paying Instructions via NEFT: Step by Step Guide 

To complete the booking payment, you may use the NEFT (National Electronics Fund Transfer) facility through your Indian bank’s net banking services. Kindly, follow the instructions below to ensure that your payment is processed correctly. 

  • STEP 1: Log in to your Indian bank's net banking and initiate an NEFT transfer using the details above.
    ⚠️ Critical: The beneficiary name must match exactly (listed below) — any mismatch will cause the transaction to fail.
  • STEP 2: Save the payment receipt and share with us to verify. We will inform you within the next 24/48 hours.

Best Time to Visit Nepal for Indian Travellers

Nepal is a year round destination for Indian travellers, as this nation experiences five distinct seasons - spring, summer, monsoon, autumn, and winter. Among these, spring and autumn are generally the best seasons to visit this nation due to the pleasant climate, moderate temperatures, and favorable weather conditions. 

Whether you’re someone planning a short getaway trip to Kathmandu or seeking a relaxing holiday in Pokhara or perhaps looking to go on epic wildlife experiences in Chitwan, the best time to visit Nepal depends upon your own travel preferences, weather conditions, and planned activities.

Spring Season

Months: March to June 

Best For: Family holidays, couples, nature lovers, and short multicity tours. 

It’s true that Nepal comes the most alive during spring time (which begins from March to June), as the winter starts to fade, temperatures slowly start to rise, trees become vibrant green, and the air feels fresher. 

The pleasant day time weather creates the perfect atmosphere for visiting heritage sites, historic temples, monasteries, and local markets. Travelers planning to visit Kathmandu can also go on a combined trip to Pokhara and Chitwan to enjoy the seasonal beauty that spring brings to Nepal.

Autumn Season

Months: October to December

Best For: Cultural enthusiasts, adventure lovers, families, and friend groups.

Another recommended season to visit Nepal is autumn, which starts from October and lasts till December. Following the monsoon season, the weather becomes more stable, with less rainfall and clearer skies.

Due to the clear weather, these months are also good for hiking, trekking, and photography. Travelers can choose to explore historical, cultural, and spiritual attractions during these months. This season also generally coincides with major Nepali festivals like Dashain and Tihar, although exact dates may vary. 

Food and Dining Tips

Kathmandu offers a variety of Nepali, Himalayan-Tibetan, and local Newari dishes along with international dining options. A few popular dishes that you can try during your tour days in this city can include:

  • Dal Bhat: Consists of rice, lentil soup, mixed vegetables, pickles, and meat. Truly healthy and nutritious, this is a perfect way for travelers to learn about Nepali cuisine.
  • Momo: Juicy dumplings filled with either meat or veggies and served with a dipping sauce.
  • Thukpa: Noodles served in a savory broth, which is especially comforting to eat during colder months.
  • Samay Baji Set: An assortment of Newari dishes paired with chiura (beaten rice).
  • Sel Roti: Crispy fried bread made out of rice, especially prepared during festivals.
  • Laphing: Cold slippery noodles served with soy sauce and chili sauce.
  • Keema Noodles: Noodles served with meat and vegetables.
