    Greatly Organized Tour

    We were two couples, both seasoned travellers and visited Nepal after Bhutan. Nepal was quite different than Bhutan and we were to book this trip again, we would have visited Nepal first (we were so inspired with Bhutan) I will rate each of the categories for our five-day tour with Alliance. Airport pickup - Very Good As expected, our guide and driver met us two times upon our arrival in Kathmandu (29.09 and 11.10) and there were no problems finding our name and proceeding to the hotel. The first time, the guide allowed a handicapped man to hold our sign and he helped carry our bag and was tipped by us (our flight was late). This is was a bit unusual (as we did not know initially that this man was not our guide), but okay as it helped this person. Driver - Average We had two drivers, but the main driving was done my Navaraj (spelling). He was a patient and safe driver and did a good job considering the poor road conditions and extreme traffic on the way to Pokhara and in the Kathmandu valley. However, he was not always punctual and on two occasions we had to call Kishor (who always answered his mobile) to find out where the driver was. This happened on the day we returned from Pokhara and also on the day of our departure, we asked him to be at the hotel at 7:15 (our flight time was earlier than originally booked), and he arrived a little before 8. This caused undue stress for us at the airport. With all due respect to the Nepal culture and lifestyle, the German guests are used to being punctual and this was a problem for us. I am guessing there was a misunderstanding between the driver and I or there was more traffic than he planned on. To try to improve communcation, I did write down the pickup time and also asked him for his phone number (which was a wrong number when I dialed it) Hotels - Very Good We loved the Yatri Suites hotel and this was a great recommendation. The rooms were very comfortable, clean and the food was very good at the hotel, as well as the location (close to shopping). We also found the staff to be some of the best we experienced in our vacation. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. (and will leave an excellent review on Tripadvisor.com) The City Inn in Pokhara was not the same standard as the Yatri, but more of a tourist hotel. We were initially give rooms there without a view (and smelling of smoke) but after complaining, the manager Cam provided us to rooms at the top of the hotel with very nice views. The breakfast was fine, but this hotel did not really seem to set up for dinner. We did eat (we were the only customers dining) there but found the Indian food to be quite average (frozen sauces, microwaved etc. but the chicken was tasty). Would probably not eat dinner there again but liked the hotel and the staff there. Guides - Good to Very Good We had a total of three different guides. Sirus (sp?) picked us up and provided the main tour of Kathmandu on morning of Aug. 11. He was a very pleasant fellow, with good English. I found his "depth and breadth" of information he provided was rather limited. He would introduce a building or attraction, provide a very minimal amount of information and then informed us to view it on our own, and we established a rendezvous place and a meeting time. While this provided us some flexibility, I would have rather had a guide which provided more specific information and really made us feel like we were seeing very special places and to enhanced the overall visit. With Sirus, I had the feeling that he was bored, and has done the tour a 100 times before, checked the items off the list, and could not wait for it to be over with. However, to be fair, he did answer my many questions sufficiently and was a great guy to chat with. The guide in Pokhara was Deepak and he was filled with much information, providing an numerous facts and statistics about Nepal and Pokhara . The others in the group found him to be too talkative, but I personally liked him due to his great enthusiasm, carefully explaining our program and pointing out extra things along the way. I had to interrupt him, but did get some questions in. He delegated the boat ride and walk to the Peace Stupa to another guide who was also quite good. Overall Experience - Good Overall, I thought the trip was well organized, provided us a nice overview of Kathmandu and Pokhara and allowed us some flexibility and I would recommend this company. I also feel it was a good value for the money and I appreciated all the email correspondence and communication with Kishor prior to the trip. Had the driver been more professional / on time and the hotel dinner in Pokhara better, I would have rated it an "excellent". We would have also enjoyed an extra day in Pokhara had we had the time.

    Kathmandu Pokhara Tour - 5 Days: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Kathmandu Pokhara Tour - 5 Days cost?

    +

    Prices start at $200 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 Kathmandu Pokhara Tour - 5 Days take?

    +

    Plan for about 120 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 Kathmandu Pokhara Tour - 5 Days worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Kathmandu Pokhara Tour - 5 Days?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Kathmandu Pokhara Tour - 5 Days suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Kathmandu Pokhara Tour - 5 Days?

    +

    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 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Kathmandu Pokhara Tour - 5 Days 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 Kathmandu Sightseeing | UNESCO World Heritage sites Private/Group, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek: Private Group & Discounte Price. 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.

    What is included in Kathmandu Pokhara Tour - 5 Days?

    +

    Included: Sarangkot sunrise excursion in Pokhara; 4-nights' accommodation (2 nights in Kathmandu & 2 nights in Pokhara); Boat ride at Phewa Lake; Professional private Local guide for sightseeing tour in Kathmandu and Pokhara; and Breakfast. Not included: Monument entrance fees in Kathmandu and Pokhara - payable at entry directly. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    +

    Is Kathmandu Pokhara Tour - 5 Days wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Kathmandu Pokhara Tour - 5 Days if the weather is bad?
