How we would plan Nepal
Day 1: Arrive in Kathmandu
Arrive, meet your driver and check in. Rest of the day: Pashupatinath.

An early start beats the crowds and the midday heat; lunch is on the way. Food tip: indian food is everywhere; Nepali dal bhat is vegetarian friendly.
Day 3: Kathmandu: Bhaktapur Durbar Square + Everest mountain flight
A relaxed pace today, with time for photos and a long lunch. Shopping time: Thamel in Kathmandu for pashmina, singing bowls and trekking gear; Lakeside in Pokhara for handicrafts.
Day 4: Travel to Pokhara
Move to Pokhara by the quickest route. Rest of the day: Phewa Lake boating. For the evening: the evening aarti at Pashupatinath and lakeside cafes with live music in Pokhara.
Day 5: Pokhara: Sarangkot sunrise + Paragliding
A relaxed pace today, with time for photos and a long lunch. Food tip: indian food is everywhere; Nepali dal bhat is vegetarian friendly.
Day 6: Departure
Breakfast, check out and transfer for your flight home.
If you have more or less time: 3 nights: about ₹10,000 to ₹18,000 per person; 7 nights: about ₹20,000 to ₹36,000 per person (land cost, flights extra).
Price of 5 nights in Nepal, worked out

| Family of 4 (2 kids) | ₹48,000 | ₹86,400 | ₹192,000 |
Included in these Nepal figures: stay, sightseeing, meals, local rides. Add about ₹14,500 per person for a return flight from India to Nepal (cheaper when booked 6–8 weeks ahead). In the comfort class a Nepal day splits roughly into hotel ₹2,000, sightseeing ₹1,400, food ₹700 and local travel ₹500 per person. Nepali rupee (NPR); ₹1 equals 1.6 Nepali rupees (fixed rate).
