b'https://amateurtraveler.com/nepal-itinerary/\\nHear about a 10-day itinerary for travel to Nepal as the Amateur Traveler talks to Sean Hira about this beautiful country.\\nWhy should someone go to Nepal?\\nSean says, "Nepal\'s a little bit of an underrated destination. It\'s a landlocked country in the Himalayas sandwiched between two powerhouses, China. In India. My favorite part about Nepal is really the harmony between Hinduism and Buddhism and seeing those cultures coexist so peacefully from a tourist perspective. A lot of people go there for the trekking and the intense base camp trekking and the first thing that probably comes to your mind is Mount Everest, but there is so much more to Nepal than Mount Everest or Annapurna. The Himalayas are ingrained in the culture there, but you can see so much more than just trekking in Everest."\\nSean lays out this itinerary:\\nDay 1: Kathmandu\\n\\nOrientation walk around Patan Durbar Square.\\n\\nExplore local bazaars and historical sites.\\n\\nSunset at a rooftop restaurant overlooking Durbar Square.\\n\\nDay 2: Kathmandu\\n\\nEarly morning visit to Boudhanath Stupa for monk rituals.\\n\\nBreakfast at a restaurant overlooking the stupa.\\n\\nVisit Pashupatinath Temple and experience Hindu rituals.\\n\\nOptional: Visit Bhaktapur and Nagarkot (extra day trip).\\n\\nDay 3: Transfer to Bandipur\\n\\nPrivate transfer from Kathmandu to Bandipur.\\n\\nOrientation walk around Bandipur village.\\n\\nSunset at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the Himalayan foothills.\\n\\nDay 4: Bandipur\\n\\nSunrise viewpoint over the Annapurna region.\\n\\nBreakfast and leisure time.\\n\\nEasy hike to the "Great Wall of Bandipur" viewpoint.\\n\\nDay 5: Transfer to Pokhara and Uluru Village\\n\\nTransfer to Pokhara, stop for lunch, and rent trekking gear.\\n\\nContinue to Uluru Village, north of Pokhara.\\n\\nPrepare for the upcoming trekking adventure.\\n\\nDay 6-8: Trek to Poon Hill in Annapurna Region\\n\\nBegin a three-day moderate trek to Poon Hill.\\n\\nExperience stunning landscapes, forests, and villages.\\n\\nStay in village homestays along the route.\\n\\nReach Poon Hill for panoramic Himalayan views.\\n\\nTrekking altitudes vary from around 1,000 to 3,200 meters.\\n\\nDay 9: Return to Pokhara\\n\\nComplete the trek and return to Pokhara.\\n\\nRelax and enjoy Pokhara\'s amenities after trekking.\\n\\nDay 10: Fly back to Kathmandu\\n\\nFly back to Kathmandu from Pokhara.\\n\\nRevisit attractions or experiences missed earlier.\\n\\nLast-minute shopping or exploration in Kathmandu.\\n\\nDay 11: Departure\\n\\nDepending on your flight schedule, free time in the morning.\\n\\nDepart from Kathmandu\'s International Airport.\\n\\nSean also talks about some extensions you could do including a Panauti Community Homestay.\\xa0\\nIf you are looking for an adventure, Nepal could be the place to go.\\n\\xa0\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
