About Best Nepal Tour

The Best of Nepal Tour Package is an opportunity to experience all the highlighted tourism activities of Nepal. It includes a short and easy mountain trekking, one-day river rafting, the UNESCO World Heritage sites visit, and a jungle safari trip at the same time to the visitors. We designed this tour for those who love to explore the most popular attractions in a short period of Nepal Travel.

Our 12-day Best Nepal Tour is perfect for all adventurous and non-adventurous travelers. If you have two weeks in Nepal and are interested in exploring as much as possible, such as climbing the high mountains, seeing unblocking sunrises, whitewater rafting, wildlife tours, and visiting culture and historical monuments, this package is the best for you.

Why is it the best tour in Nepal?

Frolic Adventure's Best Tour Package of Nepal covers all famous attractions and activities, so we call this the best trip. It is a combo excursion of nature, culture, and Adventure, making your Nepal visit a memorable and lifetime experience. You can explore four cultural and one natural UNESCO World Heritage site out of ten available in Nepal, one of the most famous short mountain treks, and a wildlife safari with adventure river rafting while on this Best of Nepal Tour Package with us. Traveling somewhere is not just to see nature but also to learn about that place's culture and history so that you can learn a lot about ancient Nepalese history, culture, religion, art, architecture, different lifestyles, and more from this tour in Nepal.

Best of Nepal Tour Activities

Our Best of Nepal Tour activities begin the second day after you arrive in Nepal. You will have a full-day Kathmandu Tour and visit four cultural World Heritage Sites of UNESCO (Kathmandu Durbar Square, Swayambhynath, Pashupatinath, and Boudhanath) and learn about the history of ancient Nepal, culture, art, architecture, religion, and more from these historical and religious sites.

You will have one day of river rafting on the third day while you drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara (the second biggest city in Nepal). We provide a tourist bus to the rafting starting point and public transport to Pokhara after the river adventure. Driving in public vehicles can be uncomfortable so that we can arrange a private car/van/bus on your request at extra cost for this journey.

After a night's stay in Pokhara, you go for the mountain adventure. This Best of Nepal Tour Package includes Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek for four nights and five days. You can see a close view of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna Himalayas with unclocked sunrise from Poon Hill. Experiencing a rural lifestyle and being in virgin nature can be an extreme experience from this short walking trip.

After the trek, you will have a Pokhara City Tour. After Lunch, you will visit Bindhyawasini Temple, Seti River Gorge, Gupteshwor Cave, Davi's Fall (Patale Chhango), and World Peace Pagoda (a Buddhist Stupa on a hill station).

The next and final activity of Nepal's Best Tour that we offer is the jungle safari. In the morning, you drive from Pokhara to Chitwan (Sauraha) on a tourist coach and reach for Lunch. Today, you will have a Tharu village walk and see the sunset from the Rapti Riverbank. After dinner, you will enjoy the Tharu cultural program in the evening.

The second day of Chitwan is a complete safari activity. You will have a jungle walk and jeep safari inside the national park, a canoe ride, birdwatching, and a visit to the elephant breeding center. After a great nature experience from the Chitwan Safari, you will drive back to Kathmandu the following day.

Best Time for the Best Nepal Tour

You can book our Best Nepal Tour Package all year; however, we recommend October to December in autumn and March to May in Spring.

October to December offers the most transparent weather conditions. Still, the temperature can be cold in the mountains and during river rafting. If you are not interested in going in the water, you can skip water adventures in these months. However, trekking and Chitwan jungle activities are the best experiences in autumn.

Spring is the second famous season for this Best of Nepal Tour. The temperature in the Himalayas will be warmer, but it will be dry time, and there will be many forest fires in Nepal. The air quality will be poor, and there will be lots of haze. The haze blocks mountains and hills sometimes this time, but you can still see white peaks and sunrise when you go higher and closer to the snow-capped peaks. You feel fun on the river in spring because of the warm temperature. The forest will be colorful this season with beautifully blooming rhododendrons.

Winter is also lovely for this tour, but you may only enjoy less in summer. However, the environment during the monsoon looks brighter, but mountains are inside the clouds most of the day. You can still see magnificent natural attractions and massive waterfalls while on this summer trip.

Book the Nepal's Best Tour with Best Travel Company

Everyone looks for the best travel company wherever they plan to visit for safety and a reliable budget. Frolic Adventure is a legal and government-authorized agency in Nepal that operates the Best of Nepal Tour and Adventure mountain treks at affordable cost.

Useful Info

Things to Pack for Nepal's Best Tour Package

Nepal's Best Tour Package covers many activities, so you need to pack different equipment before you go on this trip. You need shorts and water sandals for rafting and regular clothing according to the weather and temperatures of the cities. You must wear dark-colored clothes for safari activities in Chitwan, and remember to pack trekking equipment.

Tour Difficulties

Our Nepal's Best Tour Package is more like a luxury trip; however, the four-day mountain trek is challenging for unusual hikers. Part of walking to Ghorepani Poon Hill, visiting heritage sites in Kathmandu, Pokhara city tour, and Chitwan Safari Tour are comfort activities. River Rafting is an adventure activity that can be scary in summer and cold in winter.

We suggest hiking practice at least once a week with a few kilos of weight on your back, running, cardio, and thigh exercise before you go on this tour for a few months.

You Can Customize This Tour

Suppose you do not have enough time for all the activities included in this Best of Nepal Tour Package or are not interested in some activities. In that case, you can customize and pick the things that you love to do. If you are planning on just doing the luxury part and skipping trekking but also love to see mountains from a close distance, you can add one day for an Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour or Scenic Everest Mountain Flight.

We Recommend Private Transport from Kathmandu to Pokhara

Take a tourist bus and stop for rafting in between. You must use public transportation afterward, which may not be comfortable. The highway from Kathmandu to Pokhara is under construction. It takes an extra 2-3 hours more than the regular hours, so we recommend taking private transport for this day.

There is also a Flight Option from Chitwan to Kathmandu

After a few drives on the highway during this Nepal's Best Tour Package, you would wonder if there is a flight option back to Kathmandu from Chitwan. Yes, you can also fly from Bharatpur to Kathmandu at the end of the trip and skip a long bus journey.

Be Ready to Face Hot and Cold Temperatures

The water will be cold from October to February for rafting, the mountain will be freezing from November to February, and Chitwan will be very humid and hot from March to August. So, please be ready to face these things, but you will enjoy the activities apart from the few difficulties with this Best of Nepal Tour.
