Kathmandu Pokhara Chitwan-Golden Triangle Nepal Introduction

Kathmandu Pokhara Chitwan-Golden Triangle Nepal

Kathmandu Pokhara Chitwan Tour, or simply referred to as Nepal’s Golden Triangle, is Nepal’s gem and Nepal’s most diversified tour package.

This is the most favorable tour package for all those visitors who desire to witness the nature, culture, and wildlife of Nepal in a single tour. In this blog, we are discussing a 7-day tour package, all the attractions and activities of these three locations, and why these three locations are interdependent and can be combined and organized to create a thrilling tour in Nepal.

Kathmandu Pokhara Chitwan Tour is Nepal’s traditional back journey and presents the travelers with three completely different faces of Nepal. Each one generates its own individuality — city life and culture of Kathmandu, hill and scenery of Pokhara, and jungle and wildlife safari of Chitwan. The three combined offer the essence of a back journey.

Part 1: Kathmandu Tour– Nepal’s Cultural Capital

Kathmandu Valley is the cultural and spiritual heart of Nepal. For more than 2,000 years, Kathmandu Valley is center of politics, culture, and religion has only grown with time. Smitten by the majestic Himalayas, it has turned into a melting pot of Hinduism, Buddhism, and indigenous practices.Located in the center of Nepal, the spectacular Kathmandu Valley takes tourist through a cultural past through temples and the royalty’s palaces.

Top Attractions in Kathmandu:

1. Kathmandu Durbar Square

The palace square, temples, and the courtyards are all located at the heart of the old city and were constructed by Malla kings. Don’t forget to visit Kumari Ghar, where the living goddess Kumari is housed.

2. Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple)

Swayambhunath Stupa, or Monkey Temple, is Kathmandu Valley’s most visited tourist spot. The stupa sits on a hill and offers the best view of the entire Kathmandu valley. It is more than 2000 years old,

3. Pashupatinath Temple

Pashupatinath Temple is Nepal’s most sacred Hindu temple, which is dedicated to Lord Shiva in the guise of Pashupati: The animal protector.

It looms over the Bagmati River, a holy river and center of which is a gigantic temple, ashram, and ghat complex. Pashupatinath is also renowned for its street cremation pyramids; Hindu death rites are performed daily on the Bagmati ghats.

4. Boudhanath Stupa

Boudhanath Stupa is one of the largest and most stunning of the stupas, as well as a Nepalese Buddhist pilgrimage, you visit in the world.

The stupa itself is an enormous white monolithic dome topped by an enormous golden spire surmounted by the enlightened eyes of the Buddha, symbolizing loving kindness and wisdom.

5. Thamel

Thamel is the most popular tourist destination in Kathmandu and has everything anyone might ever want.

It is never quiet and boasts vibrant streets lined with restaurants, shops, guesthouses, plenty of trekking shops, art galleries, music shops, and boutiques.

Part 2. Pokhara

Pokhara is a laid-back lakeside resort town surrounded by massive Annapurna (Himalaya) mountains, and where not only is it possible to leave the madness of Kathmandu far, far behind you, it’s actually quite literally an option. It is renowned in itself for its own natural beauty, and it has the stunning Phewa Lake, which guests visiting tourists boat across as they just sit and look up in awe at the white snow-capped Machapuchare (Fishtail) mountain.

Top Attraction in Pokhara

1. Phewa Lake

Pokhara’s gem, Phewa Lake, is the place to unwind. Paddle a boat along its shore, take a boat ride to Tal Barahi Temple on an island in Phewa, or just hang around for a sunset stroll along Lakeside Road, lined with boutiques and cafes.

That’s why we’ve reached Nepal’s subtropical jungle!

5. Rapti River Sunrise.

River Rapti is precisely such a lovely spot to unwind at nightfall after a day of trekking in the forest. It would be about dusk time, and hence the river would be bath in golden sunlight as it winds its way out towards bathing pachyderms and birds descending to roost.
