About Nepal
This 8-day itinerary covers Nepal’s capital Kathmandu, the peaceful hill town of Bandipur, and the scenic lake city of Pokhara. From UNESCO World Heritage temples and Buddhist stupas to serene Himalayan vistas and adventure experiences, Nepal captivates with authenticity. With heritage hotels, spiritual walks, wellness breaks, and vegetarian-friendly dining, the trip is a perfect blend of mindful travel and exploration.
My Experience
We arrived in Kathmandu and checked into the stunning Dwarika’s Hotel, where the ambiance felt like a step back into royal Newari heritage. Day 2 was filled with powerful spiritual moments at Pashupatinath and Boudhanath, ending in the vibrant streets of Thamel. Driving to Bandipur on Day 3 was scenic, and the town’s peaceful vibe offered a refreshing break. Pokhara impressed us with lakeside views, adventure options, and yoga-style calmness. Every meal, from mountaintop cafés to urban vegan spots, was delicious and mindful. The itinerary concluded with a return to Kathmandu, revisiting the grandeur of Bhaktapur and ending with a farewell meal under the stars.
