What changes for this traveller
Combine Kathmandu heritage, Pokhara views and a comfortable wildlife or hill stay.
Do not make every day a transfer; keep one surprise or rest day and a backup for weather.
Route and accommodation choices
- Prefer two-night bases when changing hotels would consume energy or access is uncertain.
- Ask about room layout, lift or ground-floor access, bathroom, heating, breakfast timing and luggage storage.
- Use a guide or driver who understands the group rather than adding a generic ‘special request’ note after booking.
- Keep one low-effort alternative for weather, health, altitude or transport disruption.
Budget and booking questions
- Request a line-item quote for rooms, meals, vehicle, guide, permits, activities, flights and contingency.
- Ask what is refundable when a flight or road is disrupted.
- Check insurance exclusions for altitude, activities, existing conditions and evacuation.
- Put dietary, mobility, privacy, photography and communication needs in writing.
A route shape that works
A strong starting route is Kathmandu Valley plus Pokhara and Chitwan, then a selected low or moderate-altitude extension. Couples who want mountains without an expedition should be able to remove the extension without breaking the rest of the trip.
Questions to ask before departure
- Who is the emergency contact and how will daily check-ins work?
- What happens if a road, flight, park or trail closes?
- Which parts require cash, documents, permits or advance booking?
- What behaviour is expected at temples, villages, wildlife sites and photography locations?
