Nepal is one of the best international destinations for Indian group travelers — and for good reason. It offers a powerful mix of ancient temples, stunning Himalayan scenery, vibrant local culture, and thrilling adventure activities, all at a price that won’t break the bank.
Your Nepal group adventure begins the moment you land at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. Your Travassa guide and private vehicle will be waiting to receive you and transfer you to your hotel. After freshening up, get ready to dive straight into Kathmandu’s spiritual side.
Boudhanath Stupa
Your first stop is the iconic Boudhanath Stupa — one of the largest Buddhist stupas in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk around the stupa’s circular base (called ‘kora’), spin the prayer wheels, and soak in the incredibly peaceful atmosphere. The stupa is surrounded by colorful Tibetan monasteries, souvenir shops, and cozy cafés — perfect for your first group photo in Nepal!
Pashupatinath Temple — Evening Aarti
As the sun begins to set, head to Pashupatinath Temple — one of the most sacred Hindu temples in the world, dedicated to Lord Shiva. Situated on the banks of the holy Bagmati River, the evening Aarti ceremony here is a deeply moving experience. Watch priests offer prayers with fire lamps as smoke and chanting fill the air. It’s a spiritual start to your trip that your group won’t forget.
After breakfast, today is all about the journey — and what a journey it is. You’ll drive from Kathmandu towards Pokhara, with a special detour to one of Nepal’s most revered temples en route.
Manakamana Temple — A Blessing by Cable Car
Located in the Gorkha district, the Manakamana Temple is dedicated to the Hindu Goddess Bhagwati and is believed to fulfil the wishes of devotees. What makes this visit special is how you get there — a scenic cable car ride that rises steeply above the Trishuli River gorge, offering breathtaking views of the Himalayan foothills and lush green valleys below. The 10-minute cable car ride is a highlight in itself!
After taking the blessings of Goddess Manakamana, hop back on the cable car and continue your drive towards Pokhara. The road to Pokhara is one of Nepal’s most scenic drives — winding through hills, rivers, and small villages. Arrive in Pokhara by evening, check in to your hotel, and relax.
Today is the heart of your Nepal group tour — a full day in Pokhara, Nepal’s most beautiful city. Set against the backdrop of the Annapurna range, Pokhara is a stunning mix of mountain views, tranquil lakes, ancient temples, and natural wonders. Early start required — it’s absolutely worth it!
Sarangkot — Sunrise Over the Himalayas
Rise before dawn and drive up to Sarangkot, a hilltop viewpoint that offers one of the most spectacular sunrise views in all of Nepal. Watch the sky turn golden pink as the first rays of light hit the snow-capped peaks of Annapurna, Machapuchare (Fishtail Mountain), and Dhaulagiri. For many travelers, this is the single most memorable moment of their entire Nepal trip.
Bindabasini Temple
After breakfast, visit Bindabasini Temple — Pokhara’s most important Hindu temple, dedicated to Goddess Durga. The peaceful hilltop setting and the morning devotional atmosphere make this a lovely, quieter experience compared to the grand temples of Kathmandu.
Devi’s Fall
One of Pokhara’s most dramatic natural sights, Devi’s Fall is a powerful waterfall where the Pardi Khola stream suddenly disappears underground into a deep gorge. The waterfall is most spectacular during the monsoon season, but even in the dry months, the unusual disappearing-water effect fascinates visitors.
Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave
Directly opposite Devi’s Fall is the Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave — a sacred cave temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Inside, you’ll walk through narrow passages adorned with stalactites and stalagmites to reach a natural Shiva Lingam at the far end. The cave also connects to a view of Devi’s Fall from behind the waterfall — a unique angle your group will love.
Seti River Gorge
Visit the Seti River Gorge — where the powerful Seti River has carved a deep, narrow canyon through the city of Pokhara. From viewing bridges above, you can look straight down into the milky-white glacial river rushing far below. It’s a stunning example of nature’s power.
Phewa Lake — Optional Boat Ride
End your day at the beautiful Phewa Lake — one of Nepal’s largest lakes with a mirror-like reflection of the Annapurna peaks. Hire a colourful wooden boat and row out to the Tal Barahi Temple, a small island shrine in the middle of the lake. A boat ride with your group as the sun goes down is the perfect way to close this incredible day.
After a relaxed breakfast in Pokhara, it’s time to begin the drive back to Kathmandu. The return journey takes approximately 6–7 hours, but the road is scenic and comfortable — great for catching up on group conversations, napping, or enjoying the passing landscape of hills and rivers.
Arrive in Kathmandu by late afternoon. The evening is completely free — your time to make the most of the city on your terms. Thamel is the obvious starting point, with dozens of restaurants, rooftop bars, local handicraft shops, and pashmina stores all crammed into one lively neighbourhood.
Free Evening in Thamel
Thamel is Kathmandu’s beating heart for tourists. Whether your group wants to track down the best chicken momo in the city, browse for singing bowls and thangka paintings, try local craft beer, or simply wander through narrow alleyways strung with prayer flags — Thamel has it all. This is also your last chance to pick up gifts and souvenirs for back home.
It’s time to say goodbye to Nepal — a country that has a way of getting under your skin in the best possible way. After your final breakfast, your private vehicle will transfer you to Tribhuvan International Airport in time for your flight home.
Head home with full hearts, full camera rolls, and probably a shared group chat that will stay active for years. Until next time, Nepal!
