6 Days Kathmandu & Pokhara Honeymoon Tour

Overview

Short on time but big on romance, the 6 Days Kathmandu & Pokhara Honeymoon Tour (5 nights / 6 days) combines the temples and heritage squares of the Kathmandu Valley with the lakes and Himalayan sunrises of Pokhara – three nights in Kathmandu and two by the lake. It is ideal for newly-wed couples from India looking for an easy first trip together: no visa is needed, the flight from Delhi is under two hours, and vegetarian food is everywhere. Hotels of your chosen standard (3-, 4- or 5-star), daily breakfast, private car, a Hindi- or English-speaking guide, entrance fees and honeymoon touches – a cake, a flower-decorated bed and a candle-light dinner – are included.

In Kathmandu you take darshan at Pashupatinath, circle the great stupa of Boudhanath, explore Kathmandu Durbar Square and watch sunset from Swayambhunath. The scenic drive to Pokhara can include the Manakamana cable car and temple, where couples traditionally pray for a happy married life.

In Pokhara you rise early for sunrise over the Annapurnas from Sarangkot, visit the World Peace Pagoda, Davis Falls and Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave, and row across Phewa Lake to the island temple of Tal Barahi. A short flight back to Kathmandu leaves time for medieval Bhaktapur and its famous king curd before your farewell evening.

Pigeon Travel is easily one of the best travel companies I have dealt with! I don’t know how busy Mr Min Katri is, but i think he has many clients on the go, but he made me feel like I was his only customer. He was so conscientious. The guides he organised for my travels in Nepal: Pokhara, Kathmandu, and the Everest flight, Lumbini and then in India at Kushinara for a few days, was well organised with excellent guides, good drivers and cars and a good choice of hotels. They accommodated me with the places I wanted to visit and were very flexible and everything went smoothly, including navigating across the Sunoli border to India, which is chaos at another level. These guys are really excellent. Totally recommend Pigeon Travel. 👍👍

Amal Karunaratna

We spent 4 days in Nepal, visiting different places with the Pingeon Travel Agency, Mr. Min Khatri was very friendly, helpful and was attentive to us at all times, with 24-hour service. for anything we needed and was attentive to us via WhatsApp every day. We booked everything from Spain, they picked us up at the airport and at the end they took us, including a driver, guide in Spanish, visits and hotels, and we had no problem, they complied with everything agreed and we were able to visit everything. The driver (Mr. Pawan) is a very good driver, friendly and kind, and the guide (Mr. Giri) is friendly and helpful. Punctual, helpful and attentive. We were in 2 different hotels, and both were very good, highlighting the one in Kathmandu, Hotel Hyatt Place Kathmandu, a new hotel, excellent service and very friendly. The Pingeon Travel agency is highly recommended and they have everything from tours to complete packages. We were happy with the services.

Pigeon Travel has been an exceptional ressource for me in both travel support to and from Nepal, India, and Bhutan. Min Katri is simply always there onnecway or another, checking fright and other arrangements, hotel schedules and in Bhutan excellent ( required) tour guides. As well, he and Pigeon Travel are exceptional in meeting last minute changes to my plans and really are “there” 24/7. I thinking now about next trips and highly recommend Min and Pigeon travel for your trips— as in planning my next trip to India and Nepal and am using Pigeon Travel the whole way. Highly recommend!

I contacted them via Facebook messenger and asked them for a price estimate for two people to Dubai. The representative told me I will receive the quote tomorrow and it’s been three days I haven’t heard from him yet. I will remove my one star rating once I hear back.
