Classical Nepal Tours

Classical Nepal Tours are short Nepal tour packages of 6 to 10 days that bring together the best known places in Nepal, from the heritage sites of Kathmandu Valley to Pokhara, Chitwan and Lumbini. They are a perfect introduction to the country’s rich culture, breathtaking landscapes, and world famous heritage sites. You arrive and depart through Kathmandu, and you get private vehicle transfers, comfortable hotels, and experienced guides for a smooth and enjoyable holiday. From your first enquiry you get clear advice and honest information, so there are no surprises.

These Nepal holiday packages suit first time visitors and anyone who wants a cultural tour in Nepal. You visit the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Kathmandu Valley and watch sunrise over the Himalayas from Nagarkot or Sarangkot. Depending on the trip, you can also go boating on Phewa Lake, stay in Bandipur, a hill town with no cars, raft the Trishuli River, visit Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha, or join a Chitwan National Park jeep safari to look for one horned rhinos. Choose the 6 day Kathmandu Valley heritage tour, the 7 day Nepal Golden Triangle tour by flights, the 8 day Classic Nepal land only tour, or the 10 day Nepal Highlights tour. Our team works on these routes and seasons every day, so we know the places and the people, and we plan trips that go beyond the highlights.

You do not need trekking experience. The walks are easy, and the longest is the full day Shivapuri Peak hike on the 6 day tour, about 6 hours. The other trips stay at about 2,100 m or lower. Autumn (September to November) and spring (March to May) are the best times to travel, with the clearest mountain views. Our prices are clear, so you know what is included, and you have a person you can rely on from arrival to departure. For longer trips, see our Premium Round Trips, and for short village holidays, see Glimpses of Nepal.
