7 Days Nepal Honeymoon Tour: Kathmandu, Pokhara & Ghandruk

Overview

Lakes, mountains and a night in a real Himalayan village – the 7 Days Nepal Honeymoon Tour: Kathmandu, Pokhara & Ghandruk (6 nights / 7 days) is made for couples who want both culture and mountain romance in one week. You spend three nights in Kathmandu, two by the lake in Pokhara and one in the Gurung village of Ghandruk, reached by private jeep from Pokhara and back. Hotels of your chosen standard (3-, 4- or 5-star), daily breakfast, dinner in Ghandruk, private car and jeep, a Hindi- or English-speaking guide for sightseeing, entrance fees and honeymoon touches – a cake, a flower-decorated bed and a candle-light dinner – are included. It is planned with Indian couples in mind: no visa is needed, and vegetarian food and Indian restaurants are easy to find everywhere.

Your first full day in Kathmandu takes you to Pashupatinath for darshan of Lord Shiva, the great stupa of Boudhanath, the royal palaces of Kathmandu Durbar Square and sunset at Swayambhunath. Then you drive west through the hills to Pokhara for an evening boat ride on Phewa Lake to the island temple of Tal Barahi.

A private jeep takes you up to Ghandruk (1,940 m), where stone houses and terraced fields face Annapurna South and the sacred peak of Machhapuchhre – a magical place to watch sunset and sunrise together. Back in Pokhara you visit Davis Falls, Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave and the World Peace Pagoda, and on the last morning watch sunrise from Sarangkot before flying back to Kathmandu for Patan Durbar Square and an evening of shopping.

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.
