Snowy Himalayan peaks mirrored in Phewa Lake, Pokhara

Nepal · 4 nights, 5 days

Kathmandu & Pokhara Short Break

Kathmandu to Patan to Pokhara to Sarangkot

About this trip

Four nights in Nepal for a long weekend: two in Kathmandu for Pashupatinath and the old squares, two in Pokhara for the lake and a Himalayan sunrise. Flights between the two, so no day is lost on the road.

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

Who this version is for

For families, friends and older parents with a few days off, such as the Pooja break. We fly between Kathmandu and Pokhara (about 25 minutes): the highway is slow and was cut by landslides in 2026. October to April has the clearest mountain views. On the last day we fly back to Kathmandu in the morning, so book a flight home from the afternoon on.

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.

From our travellers

  • Rated 5 out of 5

    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!
