Trip Overview

Welcome to Nepal! A country where ancient traditions overflow in the urban settlement, a country where towering peaks stand proud and tall, and a country where adventure activities are accompanied by powerful nature. Our Short Nepal Tour Package invites you to immerse yourself in the cultural richness and natural splendour of this captivating country. This tour deals with two major tourist cities in Nepal. Among the two cities, Kathmandu is the first, which is also known as the city of temples. Pokhara, the second city, is known for nature and adventure. With an itinerary crafted to showcase the major highlights of these two cities and ensure your journey is filled with comfort and unique experiences, our tour promises a well rounded exploration of Nepal’s rich cultural heritage and astonishing beauty. Discover further in our Short Nepal Tour package to utilise your short yet precious time here in Nepal. 

Cultural and Religious Heritage Sites

Nepal is a land brimming with cultural and religious treasures. The cities here boast magnificent temples, giant stupas, monuments, and ancient Durbar squares bustling with religious practices. For your sightseeing in Kathmandu, you will visit the mighty Hindu Temple, Pashupatinath Temple, marvel at the majestic Boudhanath Stupa, delve into the spiritual ambience of Swayambhunath Stupa, and witness the historic charm of Kathmandu Durbar Square. In addition, several festival occasions and Jatra’s make this city a living heritage. Newari culture is one of the key attractions of Kathmandu. If your visit matches the festival time, you will be lucky to have the opportunity to witness festivals such as Indra Jatra, Bisket Jatra, Gai Jatra, and Rato Machindranath Jatra, which are noticeable Jatras (festivals) of Newari communities.

Similarly, when transitioning to Pokhara, Pokhara is a natural paradise; however, it houses several prominent religious heritage sites such as Bindhyabasini Temple, Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave, and Taal Barahi Temple, which you will be visiting during your sightseeing. These religious heritages present a spiritual essence seamlessly blending with the natural wonders of Pokhara. From the chaotic streets of Kathmandu to the serene landscape of Pokhara, Nepal’s cultural and religious diversity can be explored through this tour. 

Natural Attractions

This exciting tour will let you immerse yourself in the varied natural beauty of Nepal, letting you experience the difference as you transfer from one destination to another. Kathmandu and Pokhara, the cities you will be visiting, are major tourist hubs with an abundance of natural wonders. However, this short tour focuses on the natural wonders of Pokhara, located amidst the lap of the Himalayas, which is a chaotic yet serene destination. The scenic ride from Kathmandu to Pokhara itself offers you a changing landscape with green hills and rushing rivers alongside the drive. Here in Pokhara, you’ll encounter a variety of awe-inspiring natural attractions, including the cascading wonders of Davis Falls, the serenity of Phewa Lake with its majestic Himalayan reflections, and the breathtaking panoramic views from Sarangkot. 

While Pokhara is the main highlight for natural attractions, Kathmandu’s outskirts, such as Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park, Chandragiri Hills, and Nagarkot, are the scenic destinations surrounding the valley, offering a range of outdoor options such as hiking, cycling, and jungle exploration to let the visitors get the best from nature. If you want to visit these areas or be involved in any of these activities, you can change your sightseeing destinations. We can personalise your experience to include the activities that best suit your desires. 

What to expect from this tour?

Our 6 Days Short Nepal Tour Package lets you taste Nepal’s diverse wonders, offering condensed yet enriching cultural, natural, and historical highlights. You’ll visit UNESCO listed World Heritage sites in Kathmandu and explore the picturesque city of Pokhara. Of course, the included exploration in Kathmandu and sightseeing in Pokhara can be expected, but there’s more waiting for you.

Starting with the arrival city bursting with ancient heritages, you’ll find yourself in between the tranquil lake of Pokhara, enjoying a serene boat ride with a perfect backdrop of green hills and the panoramic Himalayan range. Along the way, you’ll be treated to scenic drives through lush valleys, terraced fields, and stunning landscape roads, allowing you to soak in the natural beauty of this Himalayan nation. The streets of Kathmandu and Pokhara let you experience the unique shopping options in the vibrant bazaars, such as Thamel in Kathmandu and Lakeside in Pokhara.

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.
