8 days in Nepal Itinerary

Once synonymous with the mysterious and inaccessible Shangri-La, today Kathmandu draws an ever-increasing number of tourists, catering to independent travelers of various budgets.

On the 19th (Sat), spend a fun day on foot with Walking tours. Make the 20th (Sun) an unforgettable day with an extreme tour. There's still lots to do: see the world from above with a helicopter tour, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Jamchen Lhakhang Monastery, get out on two wheels at Himalayan Leaders, and relax and rejuvenate at some of the best spas.

Gaya, India to Kathmandu is an approximately 13-hour car ride. You'll lose 0.2 hours traveling from Gaya to Kathmandu due to the time zone difference. Traveling from Gaya in November, things will get a bit cooler in Kathmandu: highs are around 26°C and lows about 10°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 22nd (Tue) early enough to travel to Sagarmatha National Park.

Dominated by the world's tallest, Sagarmatha National Park is renowned for its carefully preserved natural heritage as well as the cultural and religious importance of its Buddhist monasteries and traditional Sherpa settlements.
