5 day tours in Nepal

Five days is a short but rewarding introduction to Nepal. Most 5 day tours either explore the Kathmandu Valley in depth, add Pokhara or Chitwan, or squeeze in a short trek such as Poon Hill for sunrise over the Annapurnas.

With only five days, travel time matters: Pokhara is about 25 minutes by air or six to seven hours by road from Kathmandu, so tours that stay in one or two places feel far more relaxed.
