The Complete Nepal Tour by Hikers Haven is a once-in-a-lifetime journey that showcases the essence of Nepal — from the cultural treasures of the Kathmandu Valley to the serene lakes of Pokhara, and from the lush jungles of Chitwan to the towering peaks of the Annapurna Himalayas.

Unlike the more strenuous treks Nepal is known for, this trip offers a relaxing yet adventurous experience, combining gentle hikes, cultural exploration, wildlife encounters, and river rafting — all at an attractive price.

Your adventure begins in Kathmandu, where ancient temples, bustling markets, and rich heritage welcome you. You’ll explore UNESCO World Heritage Sites before heading to Nagarkot, a serene hill station renowned for its panoramic Himalayan sunrise and sunset views.

Next, embark on an exciting rafting experience on the Trishuli River, followed by a scenic drive to Pokhara, Nepal’s natural jewel. Enjoy the tranquil beauty of Phewa Lake and the breathtaking views of the Annapurna range before setting off on a short, fully-guided trek to Poon Hill – one of the most stunning Himalayan viewpoints.

After your mountain adventure, journey to Chitwan National Park, Nepal’s first and most famous wildlife reserve, where you’ll experience jungle safaris, canoe rides, and cultural shows. Finally, your trip concludes with a visit to the historic city of Bhaktapur, a living museum of art and architecture, before returning to Kathmandu for your departure.

This itinerary is a perfect balance of culture, nature, and soft adventure, offering a complete Nepal experience — truly a journey you’ll never forget.
