Day	Place
Day 1	Welcome to Kathmandu; you’ll be greeted upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport and transferred to your hotel by private chauffeur-driven vehicle. Half-day tour: Embark on a visit to Pashupatinath Temple, Nepal’s holiest Hindu pilgrimage site, featuring exquisite pagoda architecture and ancient Shiva lingams along the sacred Bagmati River. Immerse yourself in the serene atmosphere of Boudhanath Stupa, the vibrant heart of Tibetan Buddhism known as "Little Tibet," where you can observe monks and devotees performing traditional rituals.
Day 2	Discover the rich history of the Kathmandu Valley with your private guide. Ascend to Swoyambhunath Stupa, famously known as the "Monkey Temple," which offers panoramic valley views and a unique blend of Buddhist and Hindu shrines. Continue to Kathmandu Durbar Square, a UNESCO World Heritage site that was once the seat of the Malla kings, featuring the historical Kumari Temple, home to the Living Goddess. Conclude your exploration in Bhaktapur City, an architectural showpiece highlighting ancient Newari art and intricate wood carvings.
Day 3	Enjoy a scenic journey in your private chauffeur-driven vehicle as you travel south to Chitwan National Park, leaving the bustling city for Nepal’s lush lowlands. Upon arrival at your luxury jungle lodge, receive a welcome briefing from a private naturalist. Begin your wildlife experience with a tranquil canoe ride on the Rapti River to spot crocodiles and birdlife, or choose an exciting elephant ride for a unique perspective of the jungle.
Day 4	Dedicate the day to immersive jungle activities within Nepal’s premier wildlife sanctuary. Accompanied by your private naturalist, engage in a guided jungle walk to observe smaller fauna, or embark on a deeper exploration of the park during a second elephant safari. Experience an educational elephant briefing or a village visit to learn about the indigenous Tharu people, often concluding with a vibrant traditional cultural dance.
Day 5	Savor the morning wildlife with a final jungle walk and bird watching session in Chitwan. Later, embark on a picturesque drive in your private chauffeur-driven vehicle to Pokhara, an enchanting city nestled beside the serene Phewa Lake. Upon arrival, you are at leisure to explore the lakeside charm, set against the magnificent, fishtailed peak of Machhapuchhre.
Day 6	Rise early for a drive by your private chauffeur-driven vehicle to Sarangkot to witness a spectacular sunrise over the Annapurna range. Discover the peace of Bindhyabasini Temple, one of the oldest in the region, offering stunning Himalayan views. Explore the unique Devi’s Fall, where a waterfall disappears underground, and marvel at the deep, milky waters of the Seti Gandaki Gorge.
Day 7	Enjoy a private chauffeur-driven journey back to the capital, offering another opportunity to witness Nepal’s diverse landscapes. Upon arrival, the rest of your day is at leisure for last-minute souvenir shopping or to revisit your favorite spots in the city.
