    21 days Nepal tour

    Me and friend travelled different parts of Nepal for 21 days. Our journey included - Poon hill trek from Pokhara, Lumbini, Chitwan National Park and Ilam. Our trips included few flights, trekking, road trips and helicopter rides. Himalayan Social Journey organised our trips seamlessly from the planning to the execution. They excelled in every aspect. Our guides Amir for Poon hill trek,Hark Gurung for Chitwan National Park, Rubiska for Ilam and the one guided us in Lumbini, ( sorry forgot his name) were very professionals and guided us very well. Our Porter Sundeep provided the same level of services. Same goes to all staff at Himalayan suite hotel.. Himalayan Social journey is one stop shop. They have every thing that a travel needs such as accomodation, relaxation, restaurant and all kinds of travel arrangements. I will use them again in the future and highly recommend them. Thanks

It is great to know that our team including Amir, Hark Gurung, Rubiska, and your Lumbini guide, along with our dedicated porter Sundeep, made your adventure enjoyable and comfortable. We will be sure to share your kind words with them as they will be thrilled to hear your appreciation.

    Best of Sightseeing in 3 cities: Lumbini, Pokhara & Kathmandu: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.

    How much does Best of Sightseeing in 3 cities: Lumbini, Pokhara & Kathmandu cost?

    +

    Prices start at $750 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Best of Sightseeing in 3 cities: Lumbini, Pokhara & Kathmandu take?

    +

    Plan for about 192 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.

    Is Best of Sightseeing in 3 cities: Lumbini, Pokhara & Kathmandu worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Best of Sightseeing in 3 cities: Lumbini, Pokhara & Kathmandu?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Best of Sightseeing in 3 cities: Lumbini, Pokhara & Kathmandu suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Best of Sightseeing in 3 cities: Lumbini, Pokhara & Kathmandu?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Best of Sightseeing in 3 cities: Lumbini, Pokhara & Kathmandu start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Kathmandu Sightseeing Tour | UNESCO World Heritage sites, Classic Everest Base Camp Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Kathmandu?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
