We chose Igloo Himalaya Treks for our 10-day honeymoon in Nepal, and it exceeded every fantasy. Watching the sunrise illuminate the Annapurna range from our luxury resort balcony in Pokhara and taking a private wooden boat ride on Fewa Lake with Fishtail mountain reflecting on the calm water was pure magic. Sagar and the team arranged romantic candlelit dinners and surprise flower greetings at every lodge. Simply flawless hospitality!
Honeymoon Tour — 11 Days
Share an eleven-day Nepal holiday combining Kathmandu’s heritage, sunrise viewpoints and time beside Pokhara’s lake. Our Honeymoon Tour links Nagarkot, Sarangkot, Ghandruk and Chitwan with private road transfers, bringing guided city sightseeing, a village guesthouse stay and jungle activities into one journey.
Key Tour Facts
Honeymoon Tour Overview
Our eleven-day Honeymoon Tour begins and ends in Kathmandu, connecting Nepal’s cultural places with hill viewpoints, Pokhara and Chitwan. You spend a night in Nagarkot, visit Sarangkot at sunrise and stay in the Gurung village of Ghandruk. Private road transfers connect the destinations, with guided sightseeing and time to enjoy the journey as a couple.
The opening days explore Kathmandu Valley’s temples, stupas and old town squares before a stay in Nagarkot. Clear weather may reveal Himalayan peaks at sunrise. Returning to Kathmandu adds more heritage visits before the road journey west to Pokhara. Here, an early Sarangkot outing and sightseeing introduce the lake city and its surrounding hills, while time beside Phewa Lake lets you choose a slower pace between scheduled activities.
Ghandruk adds a village overnight to the holiday. Travel from Pokhara by road and explore on foot, allowing for steps and uneven paths between houses. Your guesthouse provides a simpler setting than a city hotel. Mountain views depend on the weather, while the visit introduces a different community and daily routine before returning to Pokhara.
The final part of the route heads to Chitwan for two nights and planned jungle activities. A canoe outing, birdwatching and Tharu cultural experiences introduce the lowland setting. The safari arrangements depend on the agreed programme, park access and local conditions. After returning to Kathmandu by road, spend your last night in Kathmandu before the airport transfer on Day 11.
This is a road-based couples’ tour. Confirm the room arrangements, all ten overnight stays and meal coverage before booking, including whether seasonal fruits or dinner refreshments are provided.

Why Book the Honeymoon Tour with Igloo Himalaya Treks?
We bring the route, private transfers and visits together so you can plan a couples’ holiday across several Nepal destinations.
Planning Around Your Travel Dates
Tell us your arrival time, preferred travel dates and room needs. We check the proposed arrangements and explain what your quotation covers before you confirm this eleven-day holiday together.
English Speaking Tour Guide
An English-speaking tour guide forms part of the published package. Guided visits in Kathmandu and Pokhara help you understand the places you visit, while Chitwan activities follow the agreed local programme.
Private Road Transfers
The route uses private vehicles for airport connections and ground transfers. Your quotation should identify the vehicle, luggage arrangements and road journeys, including the approach to Ghandruk and return to Pokhara.
Communication When Plans Change
Weather, road conditions and site opening arrangements can affect the programme. We explain necessary adjustments and discuss alternatives with you, including any extra costs for services outside the booking and agreed itinerary.
Day 1: Arrival in Kathmandu
Arrival in Kathmandu — Kathmandu, approximately 1,400 m / 4,593 ft
Arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport, where our representative meets you for the private transfer to your Kathmandu hotel. After settling in, we review the holiday programme, departure arrangements and any questions about your stay or upcoming visits.
The remaining time depends on your flight. Rest at the hotel or take a short walk nearby together. Keep the evening flexible before tomorrow’s sightseeing and the drive to Nagarkot hill station.
Day 2: Kathmandu Sightseeing and Drive to Nagarkot
Kathmandu Sightseeing and Drive to Nagarkot — Nagarkot, approximately 2,175 m / 7,136 ft
Begin your guided heritage visits in Kathmandu Valley. Your sightseeing programme includes Swayambhunath, Kathmandu Durbar Square, Boudhanath and Pashupatinath, bringing Buddhist and Hindu places together with the old royal square.
There is walking between the vehicle and monuments, with steps and uneven paving at some sites. Your guide explains visiting customs and restrictions on entering religious spaces. Later, continue by private vehicle to Nagarkot for the overnight stay. If weather and arrival time allow, look towards the mountains before dinner, which is at your expense.
Day 3: Nagarkot Sunrise and Heritage Visits to Kathmandu
Nagarkot Sunrise and Heritage Visits to Kathmandu — Kathmandu, approximately 1,400 m / 4,593 ft

These places add more of Kathmandu Valley’s varied architecture, craftsmanship and religious life to your journey. The guide arranges the visiting order around traffic and opening conditions. Return to your Kathmandu hotel, leaving time to prepare for tomorrow’s drive to Pokhara.
Day 4: Drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara
Drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara — Pokhara, approximately 800 m / 2,625 ft
Leave Kathmandu by private vehicle for Pokhara, following the main highway west. This is a substantial travel day, with river valleys, settlements and roadside stops along the way rather than a short city transfer.
Roadworks, traffic and weather can change the arrival time, so keep the afternoon flexible. After checking into your hotel, you may walk beside Phewa Lake if time allows. Spend the night in Pokhara before the early start for tomorrow’s Sarangkot outing together.
Day 5: Sarangkot Sunrise and Pokhara Sightseeing
Sarangkot Sunrise and Pokhara Sightseeing — Pokhara, approximately 800 m / 2,625 ft
Drive to Sarangkot before sunrise, allowing time to reach the viewpoint. Clear conditions may reveal the Annapurna mountains and Machhapuchhre above Pokhara. Return to the hotel for breakfast after your visit.
Later sightseeing follows the Pokhara programme. The visits include the World Peace Pagoda, Devi’s Fall, Gupteshwor Cave, the International Mountain Museum and Tal Barahi Temple.

Return from Ghandruk to Pokhara — Pokhara, approximately 800 m / 2,625 ft
Have breakfast in Ghandruk before returning to Pokhara by road. There may be time for a short village walk before departure, depending on the weather, road conditions and the agreed collection time at your guesthouse.
Back in Pokhara, the remaining time is free for your own plans. You could walk along Lakeside, choose a café or rest at the hotel. Optional activities and personal purchases are separate from the package unless included in your quotation.
Day 8: Drive from Pokhara to Chitwan
Drive from Pokhara to Chitwan — Chitwan accommodation; exact property confirmed when booking
Leave Pokhara for Chitwan by private vehicle, moving from the hill region towards Nepal’s southern lowlands. On arrival, settle into your accommodation and meet the local team for an introduction to the planned jungle activities and visiting arrangements.

Read Before You Book, Honeymoon Tour in Nepal (11 Days)
Consider the road journeys, sightseeing pace, hilltop mornings and village guesthouse before choosing this holiday. Confirm accommodation, meals and Chitwan activities so the programme matches your expectations for time together across Nepal.
If you are still unsure if this tour is for you, then email or WhatsApp us. We will get back to you within 24 hours to answer any more questions.
Walking and Road Travel
This is a touring itinerary with road transfers and sightseeing walks. You should be comfortable with steps, uneven paving, village paths and getting in and out of vehicles. Long drives can also be tiring. Share mobility needs before booking so we can discuss the programme together.
There is no multi-day trek in our holiday programme. Ghandruk is reached by road, followed by local walking and the village overnight stay.
Before travel, become comfortable walking for several hours with breaks, including steps and gentle hills. Wear shoes you already know. Ask about vehicle access, walking distances and property steps if mobility, balance or fatigue could affect your enjoyment.
Elevation and Sunrise Visits
Nagarkot, at approximately 2,175 metres, is the highest named overnight destination. Ghandruk is around 1,990 metres, while Sarangkot is a daytime viewpoint visited from your Pokhara accommodation before breakfast.
Hilltop visits can feel cold, particularly in winter. Bring warm clothing even if the previous afternoon was sunny. Walk at a comfortable pace, take breaks and tell your guide if you feel unwell. Discuss medical concerns beforehand rather than assuming a touring holiday requires no preparation.
Medical Conditions and Travel Insurance
If you have a medical condition, discuss this route with a healthcare professional before travel. Mention road journeys, walking, the village stay and Chitwan activities when seeking advice.
Arrange insurance covering your planned sightseeing, village walking, road travel, medical care and emergency transport in Nepal. Check restrictions affecting canoeing or safari activities and keep the insurer’s assistance number accessible. Insurance, medical bills and policy excesses are outside the published package inclusions.
Accommodation and Room Arrangements
The route needs ten overnight stays: three in Kathmandu, one in Nagarkot, three in Pokhara, one in Ghandruk and two in Chitwan. Confirm every hotel category and room arrangement before booking.
Confirm that your quotation covers all three Kathmandu hotel nights, including the final stay before departure. Ghandruk uses a guesthouse; ask about bathrooms, heating, hot water and the walk from the vehicle to your room before booking.
Food and Dietary Requirements
Breakfast accompanies the hotel stays; Ghandruk and Chitwan provide full-board meals. Confirm arrival-day meal coverage and discuss dietary requirements before you travel.
Lunch and dinner in Kathmandu, Pokhara and Nagarkot are excluded. Seasonal fruits can be purchased; wash or peel them safely. Confirm included dinner refreshments and tell us about allergies before booking.
Drinking Water
Carry reusable bottles and use safely bottled, boiled or appropriately treated drinking water. Tap or river water is not necessarily safe to drink.
Ask your hotel or guide about refill arrangements and whether drinking water is included in your quotation. Keep water accessible during transfers and sightseeing, particularly in Chitwan’s warmer weather. Avoid ice of uncertain origin.
Guide and Local Activity Support
The package lists a professional English-speaking tour guide and guided sightseeing in Kathmandu and Pokhara. Confirm the guide’s accompaniment on road journeys and the local team responsible for Chitwan activities before travelling together.
Communication and Personal Belongings
Hotel Wi-Fi, charging access and mobile reception depend on the property and location. Keep your phone charged for transfer coordination, carry essential contacts offline and protect valuables during visits. Ask before photographing people or religious interiors, and follow local guidance about shoes, clothing and restricted access.
Admissions and Documents
Chitwan jungle activity entry fees are included; Kathmandu and Pokhara heritage admissions are excluded. Confirm whether any conservation permit is needed for Ghandruk and whether its cost is covered. Carry your passport and requested travel documents.
Road Conditions and Extra Time
Traffic, roadworks, heavy rain and local access can delay transfers. Keep travel flexible and avoid booking activities immediately after a long drive between destinations.
Your international departure follows a Kathmandu stay. For more protection against road disruption, discuss an extra night before flights and agree its separate cost.

Places You Visit
Nagarkot Hilltop Station
Stay overnight around 2,175 m and visit the sunrise viewpoint when weather and access permit.
Sarangkot Sunrise Excursion
Visit around 1,592 m for sunrise, then return to your Pokhara hotel for breakfast and sightseeing.
Ghandruk Foothill Village
Spend one night in a Gurung village around 1,990 m, with local walking after road travel.
Chitwan National Park
Spend two nights in the lowlands, following the agreed programme with the local activity team.
Sunrise visits do not require another overnight destination. The route’s changes in setting mean you should pack for cool hill mornings and warmer lowland days.
Weather and Best Time for the Honeymoon Tour (11 Days)
October and November, and March and April, are useful options when planning this combination of hill viewpoints and Chitwan. Conditions vary across the route: Nagarkot and Ghandruk feel cooler than the lowlands. Mountain visibility, wildlife sightings and weather cannot be guaranteed for any departure.
Interactive Temperature & Climate Visualizer
Explore temperature variations across Kathmandu, Nagarkot, Pokhara, Ghandruk and Chitwan. Toggle between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F).
| Season | Months | What to Expect |
|---|---|---|
| Spring | March–May | Hill days become warmer; early viewpoint visits can still be cool. Chitwan gets hotter towards May. Showers or thunderstorms may affect outings and mountain visibility. |
| Autumn | September–November | September can retain monsoon rain. October and November often offer clearer hill views and useful conditions for Chitwan visits, with cooler mornings later in the season. |
| Winter | December–February | Cool or cold starts in Kathmandu, Nagarkot and Ghandruk need warm clothing. Chitwan is generally milder by day, although fog and cold mornings can affect visibility. |
| Monsoon | June–September | Rain, cloud and slippery paths are possible, with road delays and changes to river or safari activities. Confirm access and build flexibility into travel plans. |
These are seasonal patterns; check the conditions and activity arrangements for your dates before travelling together.
How Weather Changes Along the Route
Chitwan can feel warmer than the hill destinations, especially in spring and summer. Nagarkot sunrise, Sarangkot’s viewpoint and Ghandruk evenings need warmth even when daytime sightseeing in Pokhara feels comfortable.
Rain can affect the road itinerary and make village paths slippery. Cloud may hide mountains on either sunrise outing. Carry rain protection, allow flexibility on driving days and check the Chitwan programme, particularly canoe and safari access, before activities.
Which Season Should You Choose
Choose autumn for opportunities for clearer hill views and spring for warmer days. Winter can suit Chitwan visits but requires warm clothing at sunrise. Monsoon travel needs greater flexibility for rain, road delays and changes to activities across the itinerary.
