Your nights, stops & travel days
How to read this route before booking
Read the overnight sequence alongside the day-wise plan. A city appearing in the route may be a visit or transfer stop rather than an additional hotel night. The detailed itinerary explains what is scheduled on each day.
Share your arrival and onward departure times before confirming. Ask which visits remain practical around your connections, where the vehicle drops you and whether local shuttles, guides or activities cost extra.
Package charges by group size
Private fares are quoted for your actual dates and party. The table shows the information needed to price each size; no unverified fare is presented as available.

Your stay & the journey between places
Confirm your rooming, hotel location and vehicle before booking. Your written quotation names the actual arrangements.
Your room & sharing plan
Confirm the property, room category and whether the beds are twin or double. A third adult may use an extra bed or mattress; ask about space and bedding before choosing triple sharing.

What to ask about accommodation before payment
Request hotel names or the agreed selection basis, room category, occupancy, meal count and any extra-bed charge. Check whether early check-in, late checkout, heating or air-conditioning, hot water and Wi-Fi are included where you need them. Facilities vary by property and overnight location.
For a family, list adults and child ages with the rooms you require. For friends, choose twin, double or triple arrangements explicitly. A room photograph alone does not establish the allocated category, view or number of beds.
What to ask about the vehicle and access
Confirm passenger seating, luggage space, the pickup and final drop, operating hours and sightseeing scope. A through vehicle may stop at a parking area rather than a temple entrance, old-city lane or hill viewpoint. Ask whether the last section requires walking, a local shuttle or a different vehicle.
Keep optional outings separate from the base programme. A new stop can add waiting, distance, tickets or an overnight change. Request an updated route and total price rather than relying on a verbal addition to the original itinerary.
Inclusions & exclusions

Tour details & practical planning
01The route and overnight plan
A six-day private Nepal tour starting and ending in Kathmandu: three Kathmandu nights and two in Pokhara, with separate city sightseeing days and two intercity transfer days.
A six-day private Nepal tour starting and ending in Kathmandu: three Kathmandu nights and two in Pokhara, with separate city sightseeing days and two intercity transfer days.
02Plan the quote around your party
Send travel dates, adult and child counts, rooming and your actual arrival details.
Send travel dates, adult and child counts, rooming and your actual arrival details. The written quotation states accommodation, transport, meals, guiding, tickets, taxes and payment conditions.
03Route decisions that matter on this tour
The five nights are Kathmandu 1, Pokhara 2 and Kathmandu 2.
The five nights are Kathmandu 1, Pokhara 2 and Kathmandu 2. Two road days connect the cities, leaving one full sightseeing day in each. The last Kathmandu night separates the intercity return from your departure. There is no Sunauli crossing, Gorakhpur transfer or Chitwan stay in this displayed circuit.
04Make the sightseeing time useful
Use Pokhara’s local circuit for the waterfall, cave, temple and Phewa Lake, and Kathmandu’s own day for the sacred sites.
Use Pokhara’s local circuit for the waterfall, cave, temple and Phewa Lake, and Kathmandu’s own day for the sacred sites. Arrival-day Thamel time is optional. Manakamana is not automatically included in the road transfer; request an assessed cable-car stop with tickets and waiting time if it is important to your party.
05Road days, an air alternative and the airport buffer
Plan each Kathmandu–Pokhara sector as a road day rather than promising a short city transfer.
Plan each Kathmandu–Pokhara sector as a road day rather than promising a short city transfer. The Government of Nepal itinerary reference uses roughly seven to eight hours as a planning example; the actual road journey can take longer with conditions and stops. Keep paid activities off the arrival window.
A flight option changes the airfare, baggage allowance, airport transfers and cancellation exposure. Ask for the complete comparison, including what happens if the flight does not operate. The final night remains in Kathmandu before your departure; share the flight time before approving the last transfer.
06Meals, rooms and optional experiences for this two-city route
Confirm the three Kathmandu nights and two Pokhara nights separately, including room category, occupancy, breakfast and dinner counts.
Confirm the three Kathmandu nights and two Pokhara nights separately, including room category, occupancy, breakfast and dinner counts. A private rooming plan for two couples differs from one for a family with children. The proposal should identify which meals fall on road days and which are served at hotels.
Boating on Phewa Lake, a sunrise outing, a Manakamana stop or a guided heritage extension can be requested. Each needs a workable time window and a clear additional price or inclusion statement. Select the priority before adding an excursion to an already full city sightseeing day.
