Everest Panorama Tour.
The Everest Panorama Trek, located in the lower valleys of Everest, offers stunning views of the Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Mount Everest. The Everest View trek allows you to immerse yourself in the culture of the local Sherpa people, as it passes through well-known villages such as Lukla, Phakding, Namche, Khumjung, and Khunde. Heavily influenced by Buddhism, each village in the region features fascinating ancient monasteries along with several Mani Walls, Chortens, Stupas, and colorful prayer flags adorning the trail.

The Everest Panorama Trek offers breathtaking views and the excitement of trekking in the Himalayas. This trek allows participants to enjoy panoramic vistas of several Khumbu peaks, including Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world. It is designed for those who may not have prior experience in mountain trekking but wish to explore the remarkable culture and stunning landscapes of the famous Khumbu region.

Chitwan National Park,
Chitwan National Park is located in southwestern Nepal and spans an area of 932 square kilometers. It is renowned as Nepal's first national park, well-known for wildlife safaris. Visitors can observe various wildlife, including wild elephants, white-footed gaur (the world's largest wild cattle), leopards, wild boars, sloth bears, and several species of deer, such as spotted, barking, sambar, and hog deer.

Chitwan National Park is home to the one-horned rhinoceros and boasts one of the largest populations of the exclusive and rare Royal Bengal tigers. Its swampy areas and numerous oxbow lakes provide an ideal habitat for marsh crocodiles. The park is also a haven for birdwatchers, hosting 450 different species of birds. Additionally, the Tharu people, known for their unique cultural traditions, inhabit the region surrounding the park.

Bandipur Village,
Bandipur village is situated between Kathmandu and Pokhara, above the Dumre highway. This charming Newar town boasts a rich history, unique architecture, stunning views, exciting caves, and untouched landscapes, all at an altitude of 1030 meters.

Bandipur offers breathtaking views of the Annapurna range along with Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, and Langtang peaks, all overlooking the Marsyangdi valley. Bandipur was once a prosperous trading center, as its charming buildings with their neoclassical and shuttered windows will attest. Originally a simple Magar village, Newars from Bhaktapur settled here in the early nineteenth century, taking advantage of its malaria–free location to develop it into an important stop on the India–Tibet Trade route.

Pokhara,
Pokhara is located at an altitude of 827 meters above sea level, approximately 200 kilometers west of the Kathmandu Valley. The Prithvi Raj Marga highway connects Pokhara to Bhairahawa via the Siddhartha Raj Marga near the Sunauli border. The region features a stunning combination of world-famous snow-clad peaks, emerald lakes, turbulent rivers with deep gorges, and picturesque villages inhabited by the Magar, Gurung, and Thakali communities.

Pokhara offers breathtaking views of Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Machhapuchhare, and the five peaks of the Annapurna Himalayas, among others. The city is home to several lakes, known as "Tal" in Nepal. The famous Phewa, Begnas, and Rupa lakes are particularly well-known in Pokhara. Additionally, the city is recognized as a hub for adventure, serving as the starting point for many popular trekking and rafting destinations. The tranquility of Phewa Lake, combined with the stunning backdrop of Machhapuchhare (6,977 m) rising behind it, creates an atmosphere of peace and enchantment.

When is the best time to travel to Nepal?
October, November, and December are considered the best months for a visit to Nepal. The main festivals of Dashain and Tihar (two important Hindu festivals) are being celebrated during these months. The skies remain clear for great views, and the temperature is pleasant for trekking and touring.

March, April, and May are the best times to travel in the Spring season, as the rhododendrons are then in full bloom on the hills. December to mid-February is suited for travels well below the tree line and for die-hard adventurists, looking for extreme situations higher up!

Sightseeing in Patan & Bhaktapur, Stay overnight in Bhaktapur, Patan Durbar Square.

If the Hanuman Dhoka Durbar Square has a unique combination of Malla and Shaha period architecture, Patan Durbar Square, on the other hand, reflects singular Malla architecture. In comparison to Hanuman Dhoka Durbar Square, it is smaller in size, but it comprises a number of unique architectural styles. Mahga Haiti, the sunken stone water spout, and the magnificent Krishna Temple, a Shikhara-style temple built of stone, are but a few examples of its opulence. Monuments, each a masterpiece, are clustered in a small area measuring roughly 160 by 70 meters.

King Siddhi Narasimha Malla built this temple in 1636. It features 21 gilded pinnacles- the highest number ever built in the valley. Another unique feature of this temple is the bas-relief carvings on the walls and ceilings, depicting major scenes from the great Hindu epics, the Ramayana and Mahabharata. The Krishna Temple of Patan Durbar Square is undoubtedly one of the finest stone structures in the Kathmandu Valley and is, thus, of considerable national importance.

Bhaktapur Durbar Square.
Among the three Squares, the Bhaktapur Durbar Square is by far the most elegant with its large open space facing south. The Golden Gate and the Palace of 55Carved Windows have added splendor to this palace square, which consists of buildings dating from the 13th century to the 18th century. Bhaktapur’s landmark is the world-famous five-tiered Nyatapola, or five-storeyed temple, built in 1702 at Taumadhi Square. Bhaktapur is a living museum of arts and architecture. Every piece of art speaks of the city’s history.

Bhaktapur is a medieval city located east of Bhaktapur 3rd, the largest city around Kathmandu valley; this old city was once the capital of Nepal during the great Malla Kingdom from the 12th to 15th centuries.
