6/7 Days in Nepal

Those are more or less the main attractions, and you can do them by yourself also. With extra days you could add Bhaktapur (most original town in KTM valley), Daxinkali temple (sat or tue), Nagarkot for Himalayan views.

Clearest cool weather in Oct-Dec.

I'm curious about how you intend to travel in Nepal with the timings you've given. I lived there for five months and if you are travelling by public transport you're timing are very optimistic. Days 1 & 2 are possible, but you are packing a lot in. I spent two days in Bhaktaupr alone, never mind Patan.

How are you getting from Ktm to Pokhara? If you go by taxi / bus, you can kiss goodbye to seven or eight hours of your day, I would recommend you fly (about $70 USD) and takes about forty minutes.

6/7 Days in Nepal

Hi there,
Thank you plan to visit Nepal own or with guide I don't mine. Day 1st and 2nd is possible. 3rd day full day for drive Kathmandu to Pokhara. And Pokhara to Chitawan also almost full day drive from Pokhara then Chitwan to Kathmandu also more one day almost so Better to go Chitwan 2night three days and then make sightseeing in Kathmandu for this trip. Or you can do short adventure trek in Nepal. It is very good time to make kathmandu- pokhara-Ghorepani, Poonhill-Ghandruk trek and then Kathmandu for 7 Days. I thought you will more enjoy from this programe.
D1 - Arrive KTM - Swyambhunath and KTM Durbar Square

D2 - Drive or flight to Pokhara look around in Pokhara, boating at lake and rest Barahi temple.

D3 - Drive to naya pool from Pokhara, then start to hike for hille over night stay over there.
D4 -Hille to Ghorepani by walk over night stay over there.
D5 - wakeup early 4 o'clock am, to go poon hill to see sun rise with white mountain. Which is very famous view point in Nepal. Back to Ghore pani take break fast and start to walk for Tada pani over night stay over there.
D6-Start to walk for Ghandruk and drive to Pokhara from Naya pool.
D7-Pokhara to Kathmandu Drive or flight.

Thank you all !!!
Cheers,

I think naml has made some good suggestions. I too would leave Chitwan out. You don't need anyone to take you on a tour of Kathmandu, Patan or Bhaktapur. You can get a taxi to all the places you've mentioned on days 1 and 2 and walk to Durbar Square in KTM. I think you should allow a couple of days in KTM because there's a lot to see and it's a great place to chill out in. Add as many extra days as you can because there's no shortage of places to visit in Nepal. I think it's much better to fly to Pokhara. You'll save heaps of time and spare yourself a long rough bus trip.

Thanks all. How about the journey scenery between KTM and Pokhara ? I thought I can save and also see more by road.

#3, So my OP day 3, 4, 5 & 6 places are better replaced by those places you recommended ? All those day 3, 4, 5 hike and walks, how long will each take ? Are they are scenic and different ? Will it be easy ?

How about Mt Everest view ? Where to go for it ?

Is it advisable to take a road trip from KTM to Lhasa ?

You'll have a lot of trouble putting that itinerary together on your own in that amount of time which is one of the advantages of taking a tour when your time is short. Those are some great sights, so if an origanized excursion is going to be able to get you to those places AND allow you some time to enjoy them once you are there, its worth doing. Be aware that a lot of times tours get you places but you only end up with a half hour to actually enjoy the place.

Can you ride a motorcycle? The road between Ktm and Pokhara is amazing, once you get out of the valley the roads are nice and twisty. From Pokhara it's a 4 / 5 hour ride to Chitwan and there is an amazing 1 / 2 day ride back to Ktm via Daman (views of Everest). I did several trips with www.heartsandtears.com (based in Pokhara) and they organised some great tours for me. Check them out.

I'm back in Nepal in December for 5 weeks and can't wait to ride these roads again.
Good luck.
Aidan
