Overview
The Nepal Luxury Tour 7 Days is the most comfortable way to see the country's three main destinations - Kathmandu, Pokhara and Chitwan - in a single week. The itinerary uses domestic flights between every stop (no long road journeys), the best 4-5 star resorts in each location, and adds the famous mountain flight to Everest, a spa treatment in Kathmandu and a sunrise cable car at Sarangkot.
It is the right pick for honeymooners, anniversary travellers, families wanting comfort, and visitors who would rather see Nepal from a quality resort than a teahouse.
