5 Days Nepal Tour
The 5 Days Nepal Tour covers Kathmandu and Pokhara in 5 days, at USD 333 each for two and USD 197 each for 10 or more. Day 2 tours Kathmandu and drives to Pokhara, and day 3 starts at Sarangkot for the sunrise over the Annapurna range before a Pokhara city tour. It suits a first trip to Nepal, with 4 nights in a 3-star hotel and breakfast daily.
6 days Nepal tour package
The 6 days Nepal tour package adds a night at Nagarkot (2,175 m) for a Himalayan sunrise, then drives on to Pokhara. It costs USD 408 each for two and USD 250 each for 10 or more, with 5 nights in a 3-star hotel and breakfast. The days cover a Kathmandu local tour, Sarangkot, boating and a Pokhara city tour, and a domestic flight is available as an option.
7 Days Nepal Tour Package
The 7 Days Nepal Tour Package is the only one of the six with breakfast, lunch and dinner included, at USD 550 each for two and USD 382 each for 11 or more. The route runs Kathmandu, Chitwan National Park and Pokhara: a jungle safari and a boat ride on the Rapti River in Chitwan, then Sarangkot and boating on Phewa Lake in Pokhara. You spend 6 nights in 3-star hotels.
Muktinath Jeep Tour
The Muktinath Jeep Tour drives to Muktinath Temple at 3,762 m, the highest point on any of the six packages, for USD 651 each for two and USD 291 each for 10 or more. The jeep route runs Kathmandu, Pokhara and Jomsom, and the price includes the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP). At the temple you can bathe under the 108 water spouts.
5 Days Buddhist Pilgrimage Tour
The 5 Days Buddhist Pilgrimage Tour visits Namobuddha, Boudhanath and Lumbini, the birthplace of the Buddha, for USD 510 each for two and USD 270 each for 10 or more. The drive back from Lumbini stops at Ramagram Relic Stupa, and the last day covers Pharping and the Monkey Temple (Swayambhunath). You spend 3 nights in Kathmandu and 2 in Lumbini, with breakfast.
Buddhist Pilgrimage Tour
The Buddhist Pilgrimage Tour is the longest package at 9 days, for USD 660 each for two and USD 440 each for 10 or more. It adds a Pharping day trip and the Buddhist sites of Pokhara to Kathmandu, then drives to Lumbini for a full day at the birthplace of the Buddha. It includes 8 nights in 3-star hotels with breakfast.
How much does a Nepal tour package cost?
A Nepal tour package with us costs USD 333 to USD 660 per person for two travellers, for 5 to 9 days. A solo traveller pays USD 600 to USD 1,215, and each person in a group of 10 or more pays USD 197 to USD 440.
Price per person for two travellers on each package, from our trip pages (2026).
The price is set per person by group size. The private vehicle and guide are shared by the whole group, so each traveller pays less as the group grows:
| Package (USD per person) | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 to 7 | 8 to 10 | Largest group |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5-day tour | 600 | 333 | 299 | 249 | 246 | 200 | 197 (10+) |
| 6-day tour | 748 | 408 | 372 | 314 | 312 | 253 | 250 (10+) |
| 7-day tour with Chitwan | 962 | 550 | 522 | 460 | 450 | 385 | 382 (11+) |
| 7-day Muktinath jeep tour | 1,005 | 651 | 433 | 367 | 351 | 310 | 291 (10+) |
| 5-day Buddhist tour | 990 | 510 | 488 | 399 | 380 | 299 | 270 (10+) |
| 9-day Buddhist tour | 1,215 | 660 | 610 | 550 | 515 | 460 | 440 (10+) |
The 7 Days Nepal Tour Package costs USD 962 alone and USD 382 each for 11 or more.
The largest step is from one traveller to two. On the Muktinath Jeep Tour a solo traveller pays USD 1,005 and each of two pays USD 651, and a third person brings it to USD 433. Your full Nepal trip cost also includes your international flight, the Nepal visa fee, meals the itinerary does not list, and a single room if you want one, since the single supplement is charged on top on every package.
What is included in your Nepal tour package?
Every one of the six packages includes 3-star hotel nights, a private vehicle, an English-speaking guide, entrance fees at the sites on the itinerary, all internal taxes and 1 bottle of water per day. The rest depends on the trip:
- Hotel nights: 4 on the 5-day tour, 5 on the 6-day tour and on the 5-day Buddhist tour, 6 on the two 7-day tours, 8 on the 9-day Buddhist tour.
- Meals: breakfast on five packages, and breakfast, lunch and dinner on the 7-day tour with Chitwan.
- Transport: a private vehicle sized to your group for every drive on the itinerary, and a jeep on the Muktinath Jeep Tour.
- Permits: the ACAP permit on the Muktinath Jeep Tour, whose road to Muktinath runs through the Annapurna Conservation Area.
No package includes international airfare, the Nepal visa fee, drinks, meals the itinerary does not list, extra hotel nights, a single room or personal expenses.
Which Nepal itinerary fits 5, 7 or 9 days?
Five days covers Kathmandu and Pokhara, seven days adds Chitwan National Park or Muktinath, and nine days adds Lumbini. Kathmandu, Pokhara, Nagarkot, Chitwan, Muktinath and Lumbini are the stops these packages cover, and each extra day adds one of them:
- 5 days, the two cities: the 5 Days Nepal Tour, or the 5-day Buddhist tour if Lumbini matters more than Pokhara.
- 6 days, add a sunrise over the Himalayas: the 6-day tour, with a night at Nagarkot.
- 7 days, add wildlife or a Hindu temple at altitude: the 7-day tour for the Chitwan safari, or the Muktinath Jeep Tour for Muktinath at 3,762 m.
- 9 days, add the sites of Buddhism: the Buddhist Pilgrimage Tour, with Lumbini and Pokhara.
A Pokhara tour package inside every longer itinerary
Pokhara is on 5 of the 6 packages, so you do not need a separate Pokhara tour package. Sarangkot, the viewpoint above Pokhara facing the Annapurna range, is on the 5, 6, 7 and 9-day tours, and the 7-day tour adds boating on Phewa Lake with Machhapuchhre reflected in the water.
Adding Bhutan or Tibet to a Nepal holiday package
A Nepal holiday package can run into a second country. Our Bhutan Tour Packages are separate packages you can book after a Nepal tour, and our Nepal Tibet Bhutan Tours join all three countries in one itinerary. If you also want to trek in Nepal, the Everest Base Camp Trek and our other treks are grouped on Nepal Trekking Tours.
What are the best places to visit in Nepal on a tour?
Our Nepal tours are built around seven places: Kathmandu, Pokhara, Nagarkot, Chitwan, Lumbini, Namobuddha and Muktinath. The table gives each one's altitude, the things to do in Nepal there, and the trips that stop there.

The Muktinath Heli Tour turns Muktinath into a one-day trip from Kathmandu, where the jeep takes 7 days for the round trip. The price per person falls from USD 5,299 alone to USD 2,550 each for two and USD 999 each in a group of 5. The Lumbini Tour Nepal is the quickest of our tours to the birthplace of the Buddha: its USD 440 each for two includes both domestic flights and 2 nights in a 3-star hotel in Lumbini.
The Muktinath Jeep Tour climbs from Pokhara (820 m) to Muktinath Temple (3,762 m) in two days by jeep.
Which Kathmandu day tours can you add to a Nepal tour?
Seven Kathmandu Valley day tours cost USD 35 to USD 118 per person for two, and each takes one day or less, so it fits a spare day before or after a package. The Everest Mountain Flight also leaves from Kathmandu and takes about an hour.

What is the best time to visit Nepal for a tour?
The best months for a Nepal tour are March to May and September to December, the months our package trip pages list as best season. June to August is the monsoon, and none of the six packages lists it.
Three exceptions sit inside that window. The 6 days Nepal tour package lists September to November, without December. The Lumbini Tour Nepal lists March, April, May and September. The Kathmandu Valley day tours run in every season.
Do you need a visa for Nepal?
Yes, unless you hold an Indian passport. Most visitors who travel to Nepal get a tourist visa on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, or apply online before travel. The fee is USD 30 for 15 days, USD 50 for 30 days and USD 125 for 90 days, and you need a passport valid for at least 6 months and a passport photo.
A 5 to 9-day Nepal tour package fits the 15-day visa, with room to add Chitwan or a day tour. Nepal tour packages from India need no visa at all, because travel between India and Nepal is visa-free for Indian citizens. Our package prices are in USD.
Can you customise a Nepal tour itinerary?
Yes. Each package runs in a private vehicle for your group only, so we can move the dates, add nights or join two trips, for example the 5 Days Nepal Tour with the Chitwan Jungle Safari. Send your dates, group size and the places you want to see through the Trip Planner, and we reply with an itinerary and a price.
Booking and cancellation
A booking needs a 10% deposit, by bank transfer or by Visa or Mastercard with a card fee of up to 3.75%, and you pay the balance in Kathmandu on arrival, before the tour starts. Cancelling 30 days before the start costs 40% of the trip price, 15 days before costs 50% and 7 days before costs 80%, and nothing is refunded once the trip has left Kathmandu. The full rules are on our Terms and Conditions page.
Who runs your Nepal tour on the ground?
We do. Himalayan 360 runs every package on this page from our office on Galkopakha Marg in Kathmandu, with local guides who speak English, and Chinese on four of the six packages. Our company registration certificates are on the Legal Documents page.
