NEPAL LUXURY ADVENTURE
Kathmandu – Chitwan – Poon Hill Luxury Tour
Discover three sides of Nepal on a ten-day journey combining Kathmandu's cultural heritage, Chitwan's wildlife experiences and a scenic Himalayan trek to Ghorepani and Poon Hill.
This ten-day luxury tour threads together three distinct Nepali landscapes: the Kathmandu Valley's temples and courtyards, the lowland rivers and grasslands of the Chitwan area, and the rhododendron ridges of the Annapurna foothills above Pokhara.
After arrival and a cultural sightseeing day in Kathmandu, you fly to the Chitwan region for lodge nights and wildlife activities on the operator's confirmed programme — without promising specific animals or activities unless they are listed on your quote. A further domestic flight brings you to Pokhara before a road transfer towards Hile and the trek through Ulleri and Ghorepani to Poon Hill.
Luxury here means private coordination, experienced guiding on trek nights, suitable lodge standards and efficient air links where included — not guaranteed wildlife sightings, mountain visibility or a fixed schedule on the demanding Day 8 sequence from Poon Hill back to Pokhara. Flights, jungle activities, walking durations and room categories are confirmed on your signed booking.

What to expect on your Chitwan programme
Wildlife and nature days are shaped by the operator's confirmed package — which may include guided walks, river or jeep activities, lodge briefings or cultural encounters when appropriate and listed on your quote.
We describe the experience accurately without guaranteeing rhino, deer, crocodile, bird species or other sightings. Heat, season and park regulations affect comfort and access.
If you need specific activities (for example canoe, jeep safari or village visit), name them when you enquire so we can match a lodge programme and quote accordingly.
