Kathmandu to Nagarkot to Pokhara

About this trip

Five nights in Nepal: Kathmandu’s old squares, a Himalayan sunrise and the lake at Pokhara. Four UNESCO sites in the Kathmandu Valley and a day in Bhaktapur, a night at Nagarkot, then Phewa Lake and Sarangkot.

One of our Nepal tour packages from Kerala. Flights quoted from your city.

Going from Kerala

From Kochi you change once, usually in Delhi, for Kathmandu. Pokhara is a short flight or a scenic drive from there.

The Christmas break is cold but clear, with the best mountain views. The April–May summer break is warm, with rhododendrons in bloom and more haze over the peaks. The Onam break falls late in the monsoon, green but often cloudy.

    We recently traveled to Thailand with Ethan Holidays and had the most amazing experience! Every detail was taken care of, from airport pickups to hotel check-ins, island tours, transfers, and even local recommendations. They customized the itinerary based on our needs, and everything ran like clockwork. What really stood out was their attention to detail and how quickly they handled last-minute changes.

    We booked our Vietnam trip with Ethan Holidays and it was an absolute delight! From the smooth visa process to peaceful transfers and friendly guides. Our stays were super cute, many with pools and jacuzzis. And the sweetest part? They arranged a surprise birthday celebration for my friend on the cruise!
