The Nepal Excursion Tour is designed for people who want to experience Nepal luxuriously. The tour blends cultural, natural, and wildlife elements with the majestic view of the Himalayas. The tour's concept caters to senior citizens worldwide. Nepal is not only the home for adventure tourism but also a destination for relaxing tours with family or for senior citizens to get refreshed with the natural, cultural vibes.

Best time for Nepal Excursion Tour

Nepal offers various experiences year-round; however, fall and spring are often considered the best seasons to visit. Following the monsoon, autumn presents clear skies and excellent visibility, while spring showcases a vibrant display of flowers. Autumn temperatures are typically pleasant—not too cold or too warm—averaging between 20 and 28 degrees Celsius. In contrast, spring temperatures are generally higher, ranging from 27 to 32 degrees Celsius. Winter, however, brings cooler weather, with temperatures ranging from +8 to 17°C. Depending on your travel plans, you can choose to visit in spring, fall, or winter.

Attractions of the Nepal Excursion Tour

The Nepal Excursion Tour will take you to UNESCO World Heritage Site-listed historical places in Kathmandu. The two days of sightseeing in Kathmandu will provide a vivid representation of Nepal's historical and cultural heritage. Afterwards, you are going to spend a night at Nagarkot, where you can see the lovely sunrise over Langtang Himalaya and Mt. Everest in the distance.

You will experience the natural attractions once you are in Nagarkot and Pokhara. Due to their proximity, you can easily explore the scenic Himalayas of Nepal. Pokhara is one of the best places to travel in Nepal with children, senior citizens, or just couples. The Annapurna Himalayan range and Phewa Lake create the best resting vibes while you are in Pokhara. The sunrise from Sarangkot is one of the most stunning parts of the journey. Sarangkot—the hill station located at an altitude of 1600 meters above sea level—is a paradise for all domestic and international tourists that offers gorgeous views of Mt. Dhaulagiri (8167 m), Annapurna I (8091 m), and Mt. Manaslu (8163 m)—which are over eight thousand meters high. Pokhara offers stunning views of numerous snow-capped peaks and breathtaking landscapes.

The Chitwan Wildlife Safari Tour is another attraction of the Nepal Excursion Tour. Chitwan is a must-see in Nepal if you like wildlife. We plan the activities on our Nepal Excursion Tour to ensure your holiday time is comfortable and valuable. In Chitwan, you'll see Tharu culture and traditions, which is another trip highlight.

The culmination of this program is a mountain flight, which will truly enhance your trip! The Nepal Excursion Tour package includes an hour of scenic mountain flight, which will allow you to experience the Himalayas and the landscape of Nepal. All travelers recommend the mountain flight. For those without financial constraints, we can arrange a helicopter flight to the Everest region, a costly yet unforgettable adventure experience.
