Nepal Itineraries
Discover the perfect itinerary for your Nepal adventure, whether you're looking for a quick getaway or an extended journey.
Planning a Nepal itinerary means balancing three things: time, season and the kind of trip you want. Most visitors spend 7 to 14 days — long enough to pair the cultural heart of the Kathmandu Valley and lakeside Pokhara with a Himalayan trek or a wildlife safari in Chitwan. With more time you can add a full Everest or Annapurna Base Camp trek, the pilgrimage town of Lumbini, or the remote trails of Mustang.
Below you'll find ready-made itineraries grouped by trip length and budget, from quick 3-day getaways to extended multi-week adventures. Use them as a starting point, then fine-tune with our best time to visit and trip cost guides.

How many days do you need in Nepal?
Around 7-10 days suits most first-time visitors — enough for Kathmandu, Pokhara and a short trek or Chitwan safari. Two weeks or more lets you add a longer Himalayan trek such as Everest or Annapurna Base Camp.
What is a good 7-day Nepal itinerary?
A popular week combines 2-3 days in the Kathmandu Valley (UNESCO sites), 2-3 days in Pokhara (lake, paragliding, Sarangkot sunrise), and either a short Poon Hill trek or a Chitwan jungle safari to finish.
What can you do in Nepal in 10-14 days?
Ten to fourteen days is enough for a classic trek — the Everest Base Camp or Annapurna Base Camp routes both fit — bookended by time in Kathmandu and Pokhara, or a broader cultural loop adding Lumbini and Chitwan.
