The Tiri Village: Mustang

You will be met at the airport and be taken to the hotel. You may relax or explore until the group meets at dinner. We will discuss about the whole trip today and make necessary preparations.

After breakfast, you venture out for the full day sightseeing (6-7 hours) in a fascinating medieval city, its streets, bazaars, temples, shrines and Buddhist stupas are crowded with peoples of every creed, color and race. Rickshaws, taxis and hooting motorists add to the din and create that special atmosphere that Kathmandu is so famous for. You visit the Swayambhunath Temple (also known as the Monkey Temple) and the Durbar Square in the heart of the city. This is where the Kumari is. Many of Kathmandu’s most historic and important temples are located here. Next you will drive to Patan, once a beautiful city in its own right which rivaled Kathmandu in terms of the splendor of its temples and squares. You cross a bridge over the Bagmati River that links Kathmandu with the city of Patan, its neighbor to the south. Patan has more excellent architecture and has long been a centre of Newari craftsmanship. There will also be time to purchase any last minute supplies for the mountains.

After breakfast, we will drive to the airport for flight to Pokhara. The flight will take around 25 minutes. The flight to Pokhara is a scenic flight that offers the tourists with the views of the Manaslu, Annapurna and Langtang mountains. As we reach Pokhara, you will be transferred to your hotel.

Since, the flight takes no long time; there still remains a whole day for the tourists to explore the beautiful valley. Pokhara is a perfect place to spend some spare time. Whether it is with chilling, shopping or experiencing some adventure, Pokhara is the best destination. You can visit the most famous site in Pokhara: the Phewa Lake. The beautiful lake serves the tourists with the boats to make a tour around the trek. The 4.43 km2 Lake beautifully reflects the Machhapuchhare mountain on the surface of the crystal water.

Similarly, the lake side market in Pokhara is a perfect place to roam in the evening. The lakeside is so lively in the evening where you can enjoy the local foods and culture as well as many restaurants and cafes serving foods you want. You can also enjoy the beautiful view of the sunset from the Phewa Lake.
