Kathmandu is like no other city, so get lost in the hustle and bustle of Thamel and explore the Temples that are symbolic for Nepal’s Hindu community.
Paragliding and Hiking in Nepal with Omar Samra
Paraglide over Pokhara in Nepal and take in some breathtaking views and hike up to Sarangkot for some mountain backdrop. Take a little taste of everything Nepal has to offer on this short adventure getaway.
Jump off a hill and soar above Nepal’s second highest city - Pokhara - with amazing views of the Annapurna range and Machapuchare peak, as well as the city down below you
Take a short hike up Sarangkot hill and spend the night in a traditional Nepali mountain tea house. Wake up early the next day and watch the sunrise in the beautiful mountain range backdrop.
Today we arrive in Kathmandu City – the urban core of the Kathmandu Valley in the Himalayas – and check in at a cozy hotel located right at the centre of all the action. Afterward, we’ll be visiting Swayambhunath (a.k.a. the Monkey Temple) where we get to interact with the monkeys!
After an early breakfast, we will then drive for 6 to 7 hours to the city of Pokhara to get the chance to view the natural beauty of this area. In the afternoon, we head to have a sightseeing tour of Bindhyabasini Temple known for its fabulous view of the city and mountain ranges. Catch a glimpse of the unique waterfall, Davis Fall, home to the legend of the Devi's fall (to add a little mystery to your adventure, make sure you ask about the legend when you're there). We'll then head to the illustrious Gorkha Museum that embodies the spirit of the mountains, people, and the natural environment of the area.
After a hearty breakfast, we’ll head out to an adrenaline-pumping paragliding session as we fly over some breathtaking scenery. We will then start our hike to Sarangkot hill in the afternoon. This hike is known for its spectacular mountain scenery and panoramic views of the surrounding mountain skyline, home to 3 of the highest mountains in the world! It is the ultimate chance to view the natural beauty of Pokhara Valley and sleep at a lodge on top of the hill with some views to die for.
Today, we're taking a short hike up the hill to watch the magnificent sunrise over the Himalayas before breakfast. After that, we have the option to either walk or drive back to Pokhara. Once we reach Pokhara, we'll take a one-hour boating trip and then spend the afternoon enjoying the town's natural beauty and shopping for some Nepali souvenirs!
After breakfast we’ll drive back to Kathmandu and visit the stunning architectural beauty that is Pashupatinath Temple, where many pilgrims from all over the world come to pay homage, as well as the Boudhanath Temple. We’ll then head back to the hotel for our final overnight stay.
Today we’re being transferred to the airport to catch our flights back home.
