Or if you are not one of those “lay back” types, you can take a stroll around the vicinity of your hotel and get the feel of this hyperactive capital city of Nepal. On the streets, people seem to be on sheer rush, barely noticing one another, but if you utter “Namaste”, they will definitely reciprocate with a smile; well that’s Nepal’s culture. We will stay overnight at the hotel in Kathmandu.
Includes: Bed & Breakfast
Day 02: Kathmandu city sightseeing (1400m)
A short stroll in the evening yesterday might not have acquainted you with Kathmandu. So we want to make sure that you know this city as you know yourself. Once done with your breakfast, let’s hop in to our reserved vehicle and then on for a comfy ride with one of our experienced city guides. You will be visiting the most renowned historical/cultural landmarks in Kathmandu. Our guide will take you to the Pashupatinath Temple (the most revered Hindu shrine), Swayambhunath (the Monkey Temple) and Kathmandu (Basantapur) Durbar Square. All these sites are enlisted in the UNESCO world’s heritage list. After this informative and interesting tour, we drive back through the busy and noisy streets of Kathmandu to the serene premises of your hotel. We will stay overnight at the hotel in Kathmandu.
Includes: Bed & Breakfast
Day 03: Drive from Kathmandu to Charaudi & raft from Charaudi to Kurintar
After a succulent breakfast at the hotel, we head on for approx. 4 Hrs drive to Charaudi, our “raft put-in point”. We attend a short briefing from a river expert and then gear up for the real action. Abiding by the instructions of our river guide, we venture into the Trishuli River, portraying ourselves mettlesome enough to surmount any menacing rapid we encounter ahead. The day’s trip wraps up at Kurintar. We set up a camp at one of the finest locations, on the bank of the roaring Trishuli. We will stay overnight at Tent in Kurintar.
Includes: Bed, Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day 04: Raft from Kurintar to Simaltar
On this last day of our short rafting trip, we consistently battle the challenging rapids like- Twin Rock, Ladies Delight and Scout Upset, until we finally arrive at Simaltar, where this pulsating water fiesta concludes. We set up a camp by the side of the river and take a short stroll witnessing the fascinating environment. In the evening, we all gather up for a bonfire and then let ourselves into some singing and dancing, just to celebrate the successful accomplishment of our trip. Roaring River, ecstatic teammates, and a bonfire under the canopy of a night sky dotted with twinkling gems. All make our celebration utterly special. We will stay overnight at Tent in Simaltar.
Includes: Bed, Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day 05: Drive from Simaltar to Kathmandu
After early breakfast in the pristine riverside milieu, we set off for a drive back to Kathmandu. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to your designated hotel, where you can freshen up and relax for some time. You would probably want to remain time shopping for souvenirs. Thamel is the place which is literally crammed with the souvenir stores. Pick something for your loved ones because they would certainly expect a bit more than just interesting trip anecdotes when you get back home.
The fun is not yet over; we have saved the best for the last, in the evening, Swagat Holiday Treks & Expedition will host a full-fledged Nepal style farewell dinner. Enjoy the mouthwatering range of traditional Nepali cuisines, simultaneously relishing an enticing cultural show, being performed live, right in front of you. Enjoy to the fullest and sleep tight.
