Luxury Nepal Tour with Everest Helicopter tour

Touchdown: land at Tribhuvan International Airport, Nepal's oldest airport, where a Relax Getaways representative greets you and whisks you to your hotel in a private luxury vehicle.

Settle in: check in to your 5-star hotel, rest and freshen up. At 1,400 metres, take it slow and let your body adjust.

Pre-trip meeting: meet your guide and fellow travellers for a briefing on the itinerary and safety essentials.

An early start takes you to Kathmandu’s airport for your helicopter adventure. As the city falls behind, watch the landscape change from terraced hillsides to deep valleys and snow-covered peaks. Flying into the Everest region brings a remarkable perspective on the mountains, glaciers and trails below—with your pilot pointing out landmarks along the way.

Enjoy views of the Everest Base Camp area and surrounding Himalayan giants as you follow your confirmed flight route. Any scheduled landing will depend on your booked package, operating permissions, weather and the pilot’s assessment. If a stop is possible, take your time, keep your camera ready and follow the crew’s instructions throughout.

Return to Kathmandu and transfer to your hotel, leaving the afternoon free to unwind. Later, head out for a relaxed dinner or settle in for a quiet evening after an extraordinary morning in the mountains.

Estimated tour duration: Approximately 4–5 hours, depending on the route, stops and conditions.
Please note:

• Landing at Kalapatthar is optional add on tour.

After breakfast, head out with your guide to explore four of the valley’s heritage sites. At hilltop Swayambhunath, prayer flags frame views across the city. Around Boudhanath’s great white dome, follow the clockwise flow of worshippers and listen to the turning prayer wheels.

Visit Pashupatinath’s riverside precinct, where your guide explains the Hindu traditions practiced here. This is an active place of worship and cremation, best approached quietly and respectfully. Then explore Patan Durbar Square, taking a closer look at its temples, palace courtyards and intricate craftsmanship.

Pause for lunch along the way, with recommendations from your guide. Return to your hotel after a full day of exploring; the evening is free.

Overnight: Kathmandu · Meals: Breakfast
Included: Guided sightseeing, private sightseeing vehicle and listed entrance fees.
Allow: Approximately six hours; visiting order may vary.

Leave the capital after breakfast and travel toward Chitwan. Watch the scenery change from hillsides and riverside settlements to the flatter landscapes of the Terai. This is a travel day, with plenty to see through the window as you pass farms, small towns and roadside markets.

On arrival, settle into your accommodation and meet the team who will introduce your jungle activity program. They’ll explain what to expect, what to bring and how to explore with care.

Depending on arrival time, enjoy a little downtime or ask about an optional Tharu cultural performance. Dinner is included, followed by a restful evening before tomorrow’s wildlife adventures.

Included: Road transfer and lodge briefing.
Optional: Tharu cultural performance, subject to availability and confirmation.

Today is all about looking a little closer. Join your naturalist for the lodge’s scheduled safari activities, watching for rhinos, deer, monkeys and birdlife among Chitwan’s forests and grasslands. Your guide will help you notice tracks, calls and movements you might otherwise miss.

Return for lunch and a break before the afternoon program. Depending on your confirmed arrangements and local conditions, activities may include a canoe outing, a guided nature walk or an introduction to Tharu village life. Each offers a different perspective on the area, from quiet riverbanks to the communities living nearby.

Over dinner, compare your favorite moments from the day. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, and that sense of anticipation is part of the experience.

Included: Jungle activities according to your confirmed lodge program.
Bring: Closed shoes, neutral-colored clothing, insect repellent and sun protection.

After breakfast, continue toward Pokhara, passing river valleys, farmland and roadside towns as the route returns to the hills. Settle in and enjoy seeing the everyday life between Nepal’s better-known destinations.

Check into your hotel on arrival, then spend the remaining afternoon at your own pace. Lakeside is a lovely place to start: browse the shops, find a café or walk beside Phewa Lake while the boats drift past. Clear skies may reveal mountain views beyond the surrounding hills.

There’s no rush to fit everything in today. Tomorrow brings the main sightseeing, so enjoy a relaxed dinner and an easy evening.

Included: Road transfer.
Free time: Independent Lakeside exploration; lunch and dinner at your own expense.

An early start takes you to Sarangkot as daylight reaches the mountains. On a clear morning, watch the Annapurna peaks brighten above the valley before returning to your hotel for breakfast.

Continue with your guide to Bindhyabasini Temple, Devi’s Fall and nearby Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave. After a break for lunch, enjoy a boat ride on Phewa Lake with a visit to Tal Barahi Temple on its small island.

Then head to the World Peace Pagoda for another view over the lake and surrounding hills. If time allows, explore the Old Bazaar before returning to Lakeside. Your final evening in Pokhara is free for a stroll or dinner at a restaurant of your choice.

Planned activities: Sarangkot, guided sightseeing, Phewa Lake boating and World Peace Pagoda.
Good to know: Mountain visibility depends on weather; lunch and dinner are at your own expense.

Enjoy breakfast before beginning the road journey back to Kathmandu. River valleys and hillside settlements accompany you along the way, with a stop for lunch at your own expense.

After checking into your hotel, take time to rest. Depending on arrival time, you might fit in a final wander through Thamel for tea, handicrafts or a souvenir to take home.

Tonight, join your included farewell dinner at a traditional Nepali restaurant with a cultural performance. Share your favorite moments over a meal and enjoy one final evening before tomorrow’s departure.

Included: Road transfer and farewell dinner with cultural performance.

Enjoy breakfast and any remaining free time before your airport transfer. Depending on your flight schedule, there may be time for one last cup of Nepali tea or a short walk near your hotel.

Your Relax Getaways representative will coordinate the transfer around traffic and your airline’s check-in requirements. From Kathmandu’s courtyards to Chitwan’s wildlife and Pokhara’s lake, you’ve experienced three distinct sides of Nepal. Thank you for exploring with us, and safe travels onward!
