Highlights

  • Discover Kathmandu’s Living Heritage: Kick things off with a guided city tour through Kathmandu, stopping at four must-see UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Swayambhunath Stupa (1,400 m / 4,593 ft), Kathmandu Durbar Square (1,350 m / 4,429 ft), Pashupatinath Temple (1,350 m / 4,429 ft), and Boudhanath Stupa (1,360 m / 4,462 ft). With a local guide from Haven Holidays Pvt. Ltd., you’ll wander through temples and palaces where centuries of art, faith, and culture buzz all around you.
  • Experience the Magic of Pokhara: After soaking up Kathmandu's old-world vibe, you head to Pokhara, the gateway to Annapurna. Phewa Lake glitters in front of the mountains, and everything just feels calm—but there’s excitement in the air too. Travelers show up for the relaxed pace, but those first jaw-dropping Himalayan views always steal the show.
  • Immerse Yourself in Authentic Ghandruk Village Life: The Gurung village of Ghandruk, perched at 2,012 meters (6,601 feet), welcomes you with stone paths, slate roofs, and genuine local warmth. You’ll pop into the Gurung Museum and look out at wild mountain views—Annapurna South (7,219 m / 23,684 ft), Machhapuchhre (6,993 m / 22,943 ft), and Hiunchuli (6,441 m / 21,129 ft) all rise in front of you. It’s culture and alpine beauty rolled into one.
  • Witness the Golden Sunrise at Poon Hill: There’s nothing like watching sunrise from Poon Hill (3,210 m / 10,531 ft). You get up while it’s still dark and climb to the viewpoint, then suddenly the peaks—Dhaulagiri (8,167 m / 26,795 ft), Annapurna I (8,091 m / 26,545 ft), Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre—are glowing with the first golden light. It’s a sight you’ll never forget, and exactly the kind of morning people talk about long after their trip with Haven Holidays Pvt. Ltd. ends.
  • Explore the Spiritual Wonder of Muktinath Temple: Next stop: Muktinath Temple at 3,800 meters (12,467 feet), where sacred water flows past ever-burning natural gas flames. Wandering past the 108 stone spouts and soaking up the deeply spiritual energy, you’ll understand why both Hindus and Buddhists hold this mountain shrine close to their hearts.
  • Step into the Forbidden Kingdom of Upper Mustang: Dive into the secrets of Upper Mustang as you make your way into the ancient walled city of Lo Manthang (3,840 m / 12,598 ft). Dramatic cliffs, age-old monasteries covered in murals, a royal palace, and Tibetan-style villages—this part of the world feels untouched and mysterious, a rare adventure you’ll wish would never end.
  • Feel the Unique Charm of Kagbeni Village: Before Upper Mustang, you pause in Kagbeni, perched at 2,810 meters (9,219 feet). This windswept village, where the Kali Gandaki River carves through rugged hills and old monasteries stand watch, offers a unique taste of Mustang’s spirit and landscape.
  • Complete an Epic Himalayan Journey with Haven Holidays Pvt. Ltd.: Start to finish, you’re in for a seamless journey with Haven Holidays Pvt. Ltd.—all the local know-how, comfort, and safety wrapped into one. From ancient Kathmandu sites and Pokhara’s lakeside calm to mountain sunrises, Gurung homestays, Muktinath’s holy waters, and Upper Mustang’s wild frontiers, this jeep tour packs Nepal’s best culture, history, and Himalayan thrills into a single unforgettable loop.

Overview

Kathmandu, Pokhara, Ghandruk, Poon Hill, Muktinath and Upper Mustang Tour? Book this Package and enjoy your time in Nepal
Here, you step off the plane in Kathmandu, and right away you feel it—the pulse of Nepal, ancient and alive. This is where your adventure with Haven Holidays Pvt. Ltd. kicks off. On day one, we show you around Kathmandu, hitting four UNESCO World Heritage Sites that really capture the city’s spirit.

First, you climb up to Swayambhunath Stupa, or the Monkey Temple—1,400 meters up. Prayer flags snap in the wind, monkeys dart around, and the valley stretches out below you. Next stop: Kathmandu Durbar Square (Hanuman Dhoka), a maze of old temples and palaces where the Living Goddess Kumari still resides. You wander through history, pretty much feeling how the city’s past mixes with everyday life.

Then we head to Pashupatinath Temple on the Bagmati River. It’s Nepal’s holiest Hindu site, and the place buzzes with chanting, aarti ceremonies, and sadhus lost in meditation. The energy is intense, but you can always find a quiet corner to just soak it in. Last, we visit Boudhanath Stupa, one of the largest Buddhist stupas anywhere. Locals walk slow circles, spinning prayer wheels. You join them, letting centuries of tradition wash over you. I always love seeing the amazement on people’s faces—it’s a lot to take in, but it’s unforgettable.

Once you’ve had your fill of Kathmandu’s magic, you’ll  drive to Pokhara the next morning by jeep. From there, our jeeps start heading for the Annapurna region. Ghandruk is your first stop—a Gurung village sitting at 2,012 meters, with stone lanes and slate-roofed houses. You check out the Gurung Museum and catch jaw-dropping mountain views: Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), and Hiunchuli sweep across the horizon. The altitude’s comfortable, the hospitality is real, and honestly, you won’t want to leave.

Likewise, the Jeep trip to Ghandruk, Muktinath and Upper Mustang keeps building. Next, you chase the sunrise at Poon Hill. We drive to the Nayapul area, you further drive to Ulleri and Banthanti and then to Ghorepani, then make a pre-dawn climb to a lookout at 3,210 meters. When the sun creeps up, it turns Dhaulagiri, Annapurna I, Annapurna South, and Machhapuchhre gold. Every traveler I know says it’s a moment they’ll never forget. And since we handle the logistics, you just get to soak it up—no worries, just pure magic.

Moreover, our jeep tour to Poon Hill, Ghandruk, Muktinath and Upper Mustang roll deeper into the Kali Gandaki Valley. Kagbeni comes next—it’s this windswept village that almost feels like it sits at the ends of the earth. Narrow alleys, an ancient monastery, two rivers meeting, and that Mustang vibe you won’t find anywhere else. From Kagbeni, we make our way to Muktinath Temple, sitting high at about 3,800 meters. Here, you find 108 water spouts, a flame that never goes out, and an intense spiritual energy. Hindus and Buddhists both revere this place. The mix of earth, sky, fire, and water makes for a peace that sticks with you.

If you’re craving even more adventure, we keep going into Upper Mustang—the “Forbidden Kingdom.” The roads get wilder, the landscape shifts to red cliffs and sand-colored canyons. You reach Lo Manthang at 3,840 meters. There, you visit ancient monasteries decorated in bright murals, poke around the royal palace, and wander caves carved centuries ago. We also pass through villages like Ghami and Tsarang, stopping when there’s something special to share. Our crew helps you acclimate, offers local stories, and keeps things safe but exciting.

Once you’ve soaked up all that Mustang energy, we swing back through Jomsom and Pokhara, and finally bring you full circle to Kathmandu. While returning to Pokhara, we wonder at the natural and cultural magic of Pokhara city and its surroundings. The trip ends where you began—with a bag full of memories: world heritage sites, mountain gold at sunrise, warm villages, ancient temples, and the wild, raw highlands of Upper Mustang.
