Central Nepal Tour overview

The Central Nepal Tour is a perfectly paced 7-day journey that highlights the cultural, natural, and wildlife wonders of Nepal’s central region. Designed for travelers seeking a rich experience within a short timeframe, this tour seamlessly combines heritage sightseeing, Himalayan panoramas, jungle safaris, and lakeside relaxation into one well-balanced itinerary.

Beginning in the historic Kathmandu Valley, you’ll explore UNESCO World Heritage Sites, ancient royal squares, and sacred Hindu and Buddhist temples that reflect Nepal’s deep spiritual roots. The journey continues to the peaceful hill station of Nagarkot, renowned for its breathtaking sunrise and sunset views over the Himalayan range. From there, the adventure moves south to Chitwan National Park, where dense jungles and river systems provide a thrilling wildlife experience through jeep safaris, canoe rides, and guided nature walks.

The tour concludes in the scenic lakeside city of Pokhara, nestled beneath the Annapurna and Machhapuchhre ranges. Here, tranquil moments on Phewa Lake, spectacular sunrise views from Sarangkot, and visits to natural landmarks such as waterfalls, caves, and river gorges create a memorable finale. Ideal for first-time visitors, families, couples, and small groups, the Central Nepal Tour offers a complete snapshot of Nepal’s culture, nature, and adventure—all in just one unforgettable week.
