| Details | | Intrepid Travel | | | | Day | Destination | Description | | Days 1-2 | Kathmandu | With monkey temples, living goddesses and markets of every kind, Kathmandu is a legendary city. Climb up to Swayambhunath for fantastic views. | | Days 3-5 | Kathmandu Valley | Enjoy a taste of the Nepalese countryside. Hike in Kathmandu Valley, through sub-tropical forests and across a softly undulating landscape to Nagarkot's spectacular lookout point. Descend across terraced farmlands to the quaint Nepali town of Bhaktapur. | | Day 6 | Trisuli River | See Nepal from water-level along the Trisuli River, camping overnight on a river beach. | | Day 7 | Bandipur | The hilltop village of Bandipur has been largely untouched by tourism and is an excellent opportunity to experience Newari village life. | | Day 8 | Pokhara | Once part of the trade route between India and Tibet, Pokhara lies in the shadow of the Annapurnas. Prepare for the trek ahead with a morning walk to Sarangkot or a bike ride through the rural landscape. | | Days 9-12 | Siklis Trek | Head along the road less travelled and enjoy a taste of remote Nepal on trek through the Siklis area. Travel along the Mardi Khola River through the land of the friendly Gurung people before climbing through terraced fields and alpine forests to Tara Top for spectacular views of the ranges. Enjoy a shady descent through rhododendron forests filled with orchids, lichen and moss on the return to Pokhara Valley. | | Day 13 | Pokhara | Unwind in one of the many cafes, take a boat ride across the lake or pick up some Nepali or Tibetan trinkets in the Old Bazaar. | | Days 14-15 | Kathmandu | An incredible adventure comes to an end back in Nepal's exciting capital. |
