Explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site on elephant-back safari, spotting exotic wildlife such as rhinos, tigers, and elephants in their natural habitat. Take a canoe ride down the Rapti River, keeping an eye out for rare bird species and crocodiles basking in the sun along the riverbanks.
Finally, return to Kathmandu, where your journey comes full circle. Reflect on your adventures as you wander through the narrow streets of the city's medieval core, savoring the sights, sounds, and smells of this vibrant cultural melting pot. Whether you're marveling at ancient temples, sampling delicious Nepalese cuisine, or simply soaking in the atmosphere of this enchanting city, your trip to Kathmandu, Pokhara, Ghandruk, and Chitwan will leave you with memories to last a lifetime.
