Nepal is not only for mountaineers. A well-designed ten-day package lets you see eight of the world's highest peaks at sunrise, walk through medieval temple squares, spot rhinos from a jeep and relax by a lake, with no more hiking than you choose.

Why Nepal for your vacation

Nowhere else puts the Himalaya so close to a city. From Kathmandu, a short drive reaches ridgetop villages such as Nagarkot with dawn views of a snow-capped horizon, and an hour's flight lands you in Pokhara beneath the Annapurna range. Kathmandu itself is a living museum: the stupas of Boudhanath and Swayambhunath, the cremation ghats of Pashupatinath and the carved wooden palaces of Durbar Squares in Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur. Chitwan National Park in the lowlands offers rhinos, crocodiles and, with luck, tigers. Lumbini is the birthplace of the Buddha. Nepali hospitality is warm and English is widely used, and the country pairs naturally with India or Bhutan for a longer journey.

What's included in a Nepal package

Every Nepal package is customized to your fitness level and interests. A typical itinerary includes:

  • Round-trip flights on major airlines from your US gateway to Kathmandu with one connection, plus a domestic flight to Pokhara.
  • Hotels with breakfast included, from well-known international brands and independent hotels in Kathmandu to lakeside lodges in Pokhara and mountain-view resorts in Nagarkot or Dhulikhel.
  • Private vehicle, driver and licensed English-speaking guide for the Kathmandu Valley's UNESCO sites.
  • Optional add-ons: an Everest scenic mountain flight, a two- or three-night Chitwan jungle lodge with safaris, the Poon Hill or Ghandruk short trek with a guide and porter, or a Lumbini visit.
  • Extensions to India's Golden Triangle or Bhutan.

Call for current pricing on your dates, and tell us whether you want a sightseeing trip, a gentle trek or a mix of both.

Best time to visit Nepal

The post-monsoon season from October to November is the finest time in Nepal: skies are washed clean, mountain views are at their sharpest, days are warm and the Dashain and Tihar festivals fill the valley with celebration. Spring, from March to April, is the second-best window, with rhododendron forests in bloom and warm trekking weather, though haze can soften distant views. The monsoon, from June to September, brings daily rain, leeches on trails and clouded peaks, and is best avoided unless you are heading to the rain-shadow regions of Mustang. Winter, from December to February, is cold at altitude but clear and dry in Kathmandu and Pokhara, making it excellent for sightseeing and low-elevation treks with fewer visitors.

Where to stay: areas and resort styles

In Kathmandu, the Thamel district is the traditional travelers' hub with guesthouses, restaurants and trekking shops, while Lazimpat and the Durbar Marg area hold the city's grander heritage and international hotels. Patan and Bhaktapur have restored Newari townhouses turned boutique inns, wonderful for quiet evenings in the old squares. Nagarkot and Dhulikhel, on the valley rim, offer resort-style hotels built for sunrise Himalayan views. Pokhara's Lakeside neighborhood lines Phewa Lake with hotels of every level, and hillside resorts above the lake give panoramic Annapurna vistas. Chitwan has jungle lodges ranging from simple to luxurious, and trekking routes are served by teahouses and, on some trails, comfortable lodges. We work with well-known resort brands and independent hotels across all of these.

Things to do in Nepal

  • Circle the great stupa of Boudhanath at dusk with pilgrims and climb to Swayambhunath, the monkey temple.
  • Explore the medieval Durbar Squares of Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur and their craft workshops.
  • Watch sunrise over Everest and the Himalaya from Nagarkot, or fly along the range on a mountain flight.
  • Paddle Phewa Lake in Pokhara, ride to Sarangkot for dawn over the Annapurnas and try paragliding.
  • Trek two to five days to Poon Hill or Ghandruk through Gurung villages and rhododendron forest.
  • Take jeep and canoe safaris for rhinos, deer and crocodiles in Chitwan National Park.
  • Visit the sacred birthplace of the Buddha at Lumbini.
  • Learn to cook dal bhat and momos, or join a morning yoga session in Pokhara.

Getting there from the US

There are no nonstop flights from the US to Nepal. Most travelers connect once in the Middle East, India or East Asia to Kathmandu, with total journey times of roughly 20 to 24 hours from East Coast gateways and roughly 22 to 27 hours from the West Coast. US passport holders need a visa for Nepal, available on arrival at Kathmandu airport or online in advance, and a passport valid for at least six months — verify current requirements before travel. The currency is the Nepalese rupee, Nepali is the national language with English widely spoken in tourism, and the time zone is an unusual UTC+5:45, nine hours and forty-five minutes ahead of Eastern Time during US daylight saving. Build in a rest day on arrival to absorb the time change before any trek.

Who this package suits

Couples and honeymooners love sunrise views from a hilltop resort and a lakeside stay in Pokhara. Families enjoy Chitwan safaris, short village walks and the color of Kathmandu's squares. Seniors do very well on sightseeing-focused itineraries with private vehicles and no trekking; see our senior travel reservation service. Trekking groups, pilgrimage groups and school trips can use our group travel flights desk, and for the long journey many travelers book business class or first class. Solo travelers find Nepal welcoming, with guided treks providing company and safety.

Nepal Vacation Packages: frequently asked questions

October and November are the best months, with clear post-monsoon skies, sharp mountain views and pleasant temperatures. March and April are the runner-up, with rhododendron blooms and warm trekking weather. December to February is clear but cold at altitude, and June to September is monsoon season.

There are no nonstop flights. With one connection in the Middle East, India or East Asia, total travel time to Kathmandu is roughly 20 to 24 hours from the East Coast and 22 to 27 hours from the West Coast. Our experts choose routings with comfortable layovers.

Yes. US passport holders need a tourist visa, which is available on arrival at Kathmandu's international airport or online in advance, with a passport valid for at least six months. Fees and procedures change, so verify with official sources before travel; we will remind you what to prepare.

City hotels are usually room with breakfast, with plenty of restaurants nearby in Kathmandu and Pokhara. Chitwan jungle lodges typically include all meals and safari activities, and guided treks include lodging, meals, guide and porter. Tell your expert your preference and we will structure the trip.

Yes, for families who enjoy the outdoors. Children love the monkeys at Swayambhunath, rhino safaris in Chitwan, boating on Phewa Lake and short village walks. We avoid high-altitude trekking for young children and keep driving days short, since mountain roads can be slow.

Absolutely, on a sightseeing-focused itinerary. Private vehicles, guides and comfortable hotels make the Kathmandu Valley, Pokhara and Chitwan very accessible, and mountain views come from hotel terraces or a scenic flight rather than a trail. Tell us about mobility needs and we will plan accordingly.

Nepal is generally safe, with low crime and a long tradition of hospitality. The main risks are road conditions, altitude on treks and weather delays on mountain flights, which we build into the schedule. Use licensed guides, carry travel insurance and register with the State Department's STEP program.

Nepal uses the Nepalese rupee. ATMs are common in Kathmandu and Pokhara but scarce elsewhere, so carry cash for villages. Tipping is customary: gratuities for guides, porters and drivers, plus small tips in restaurants without a service charge. Your expert will suggest amounts.

Three to six months ahead is ideal for October to November, when the best hotels, jungle lodges and trekking guides fill quickly. Two to three months usually suffices for spring travel. Earlier booking also helps secure seats on the popular Everest mountain flight.
