Linger Longer in Nepal

From Kathmandu, take a quick flight to Pokhara, a central city in Nepal known as a gateway to the Annapurna Circuit — a popular trail in the Himalayas. Spend the day visiting the 2-story pagoda, Tal Bahari, which sits on an island in the middle of a lake. Later, visit Davis Falls, an underground waterfall that has created a tunnel through the ground and pools at the bottom of a cave.

In the evening, visit a local restaurant to dine on divine, authentic cuisine. Enjoy your first of many plates of Dal-Bhat, a popular Nepalese dish including rice, lentil soup, and a variety of prepared vegetables. Return to the hotel to unwind and prepare for the next day.

Awake early in the morning to visit a lakeside yoga center for meditation and yoga. After, you’ll catch a flight back to Kathmandu for a full day of temple exploration and indulgence.

Upon arrival in Kathmandu, visit the Boudhanath Stupa in the northeastern outskirts of the city. The stupa’s massive mandala makes it one of the largest spherical stupas in Nepal. Learn about the various mythologies as to how and why the stupa was constructed and bathe in the positive energy that’s said to flow there.

Gather for dinner at a popular local restaurant to indulge in traditional momos or a hearty bowl of Thukpa soup.

Enjoy an early breakfast to begin your final day in Kathmandu. Spend your free time exploring the city’s vast attractions like the colorful & narrow alleys of Thamel or visiting the serene Garden of Dreams before you head to the airport for your departure and journey onward.
