Trip Overview

This Kathmandu Pokhara Ghandruk Chitwan Luxury Tour lets you experience Nepal’s culture, Himalayan landscapes, traditional mountain life, and wildlife while enjoying a comfortable, carefully arranged journey. From luxury city hotels to premium mountain stays and a refined jungle experience in Chitwan, every part of the itinerary is designed for comfort and convenience.

Your journey begins in Kathmandu, where you’ll discover Nepal’s rich cultural and religious heritage through its ancient temples, Buddhist stupas, historic squares, and traditional architecture. With a private vehicle and guide, you can explore the Kathmandu Valley at a relaxed pace while enjoying personalized attention throughout the day.

From Kathmandu, you’ll fly to Pokhara, giving you more time to enjoy this beautiful lakeside city rather than spending a full day on the road. Surrounded by green hills and Himalayan scenery, Pokhara offers a wonderful combination of sightseeing and relaxation. You’ll visit Phewa Lake, Tal Barahi Temple, Davis Falls, Gupteshwor Cave, the International Mountain Museum, and the World Peace Pagoda.

Your journey then continues into the Annapurna foothills to Ghandruk, a traditional Gurung village known for its stone-paved paths, traditional houses, local culture, and spectacular mountain surroundings. Staying in a carefully selected mountain lodge allows you to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and Himalayan scenery in greater comfort.

From Ghandruk, you’ll travel down toward Chitwan National Park, experiencing the dramatic change from the cool mountain environment to the warm subtropical Terai. Here, you’ll stay at a premium jungle resort and enjoy a private wildlife experience with an experienced naturalist. A jungle safari lets you explore the park’s forests, grasslands, and wetlands while looking for wildlife such as one-horned rhinoceros, deer, monkeys, crocodiles, and a variety of birds.

Finally, you’ll fly back to Kathmandu for your final evening in Nepal. With time for last-minute shopping, a relaxing spa treatment, or a final dinner, you can end your journey at your own pace before departing the following day.

Overall, this 9-day tour offers a balanced introduction to Nepal without requiring a long trek. It is a well-suited journey for first-time visitors to Nepal, couples, families, and travelers who want to combine sightseeing and nature without spending their entire holiday trekking. The itinerary also offers a good mix of active days and slower moments, so there is time to explore while still enjoying the journey between destinations.

 Verified Unforgettable Trekking Experience & Warmest Hospitality with Silvermoon Adventure Silvermoon Adventure and Tours provides comprehensive, reliable, and top-tier service, treating every guest with genuine warmth and care. They truly make Nepal feel like a second home, and trekking with them means you won't need to worry about a single detail from start to finish. Why I Chose Silvermoon Adventure and Tours I learned about the team through Deepak. Once he knew my flight details and preferred trek, he immediately customized a detailed itinerary for me. While I consulted other travel agencies in Nepal, Deepak and the Silvermoon team provided the most thorough plan and transparent information, giving me complete confidence to book with them. The Trekking Experience My guide, Basanta, took exceptional care of me throughout the entire journey. Along the trail, he constantly checked in on how I was feeling, offered breaks, and even offered to carry my backpack to ensure I was comfortable. Every time we arrived at a tea house, he made sure I had food and drinks ready—even reminding me to order meals when I was too exhausted to think about it. On the day we reached Annapurna Base Camp (ABC), I developed a mild headache. Basanta immediately arranged garlic soup to help relieve the altitude sickness and provided medicine to soothe the pain. His attentive care made all the difference in completing the trek safely. Beyond his attentiveness, Basanta is an expert guide who always navigated the easiest paths at trail junctions. Even after we returned to Pokhara for dinner, he ensured I got back to my hotel safely. Deepak also checked in via message every single day during the trek to ensure everything was running smoothly. After the Trek The team's hospitality didn't end on the trail. Back in Kathmandu, the founder, Bishal, gave me a warm welcome, helped me retrieve my luggage from the hotel, showed me around the city, and personally arranged my airport drop-off. Thank you to Basanta, Bishal, and Deepak for an unforgettable experience. I will definitely return to Nepal and trek with Silvermoon Adventure and Tours again. Highly recommended!

 Verified Excellent guide and wonderful experience My husband and I had the most amazing experience trekking in the Himalayas to Poonhill with Bishal. We were very well looked after and felt extremely safe with him at all times. He made us laugh when the hike got a little trickier and always made sure we had hot drinks and food as soon as we got to the huts. We would highly recommend him as a wonderful and trustworthy guide and will definitely contact him again when we have plans to come back!

 Verified ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable solo trek! As a solo traveler, I couldn't have asked for a better experience on the 5-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Silver Moon Adventure. From day one, I felt completely safe, welcomed, and well taken care of. My guide was incredible—friendly, professional, and full of knowledge about the mountains, local villages, and trail. The itinerary was perfectly paced, taking us through beautiful forests and culture-rich Gurung villages before that breathtaking sunrise at Base Camp. Meals, tea houses, and logistics were handled seamlessly every step of the way, making the entire journey completely stress-free. If you’re planning to trek in Nepal—especially solo—I can't recommend Silver Moon Adventure enough. Thank you for such a memorable adventure, I’d trek with you again in a heartbeat! 🏔️✨

Exploring the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kathmandu was an amazing experience, with each place showcasing Nepal's rich history, culture, and architectural beauty. One of the highlights of the trip was visiting the monasteries in Pharping. The peaceful atmosphere and meditation experience were deeply spiritual and left me feeling calm and inspired.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mohare Danda & Poon Hill Combined Trek Silvermoon provides good service pre & post and during trekking, which makes the clients feel special and well taken care of. Highly recommended for anyone who does not know which trekking agent to go to. I will go back to Silvermoon for my future trekking in Nepal!
