Day 4: Corbett - Shukla Phanta Wildlife Park. Drive to Mahendernagar - a stretch of 100 kms.

From Ramnagar till Banbasa the road will be generally isolated with good paved stretches to drive on. On both sides of the road are Farm houses of the Terai region. Till 1960 this area used to be covered with dense forest of Sal & Teak wood. From Banbasa till the border town of Mahendernagar, the road condition is not as good as before. At the Indo-Nepal border check in with the Nepalese government officials. The road we now drive on is almost identical to the stretch in the Indian Terai region. We will find a lot of similarities in the lifestyle and language of the people as well. Proceed ahead to Shuklapat in the western region of Nepal. There is the Sukla Phanta Wildlife Park here which is still not fully commercialised, thus giving full satisfaction of wilderness. Sukla Phanta is situated in the extreme south west of Nepal and is home to some of the most endangered animals like the hispid hare and pygmy hog. The swamp deer or barasingha can also be spotted. Their large herds (hundreds at times) stand out as a dark brown patch in the distance. The herds of males are a delightful sight, for their antlers make forked projections into the sky – a photographer's dream during sunset. Overnight atin Mahindernagar.

It extends from the Churia Hills with their dry sal forests to the porous slopes of the Bhabar and its tall grasslands. During spring, the forest is abloom with the scarlet flowers of the red silk cotton tree and boasts one of the healthiest tiger populations in the subcontinent.

Day 7 : Royal Bardia.

Royal Chitwan National park. Nepal, for its small area has a surprisingly large number of National Parks. While the high Himalayas makes up the northern region, the Southern lowland known as the Terai is covered with dense tropical jungles teeming with diverse wildlife and tropical birds. Our stop tonight will be at Island Jungle Resort in Royal Chitwan National Park.

Day 8 : Chitwan

The Royal Chitwan National Park is Nepal's first National Park, built in 1973 during King Birendra’s rule. The massive expanse of 932 square kilometres of wild forest plays host to 43 species of animals and over 450 species of birds including the majestic Tiger. On one side it has the hilly Shivalik Range with its deciduous Sal forests while a fifth of the forest is made up of the flood plains of the Narayani, Rapti and Reu river, with tall elephant grass interspersed with riverine foliage of Kapok (silk cotton), Acacia and Sisam. On the other hand there are the swampy areas and a number of ox-bow lakes, which are home for marsh crocodiles. And finally along a stretch of the Narayani river are found the highly endangered gharial or Gangetic crocodile. The Gainda or the Greater One Horned Rhinoceros is one of the largest, most venerated animals, said to be endowed with magical powers according to local people. Unfortunately, this belief has led to the fast decrease in its number and conservationists are now looking at all possible ways of saving yet another animal from becoming extinct. Earlier there was a “gainda gasti” that acted as a Rhino Patrol Guard but today, protection is in the hands of the Royal Nepal Army. Overnight at The Island Jungle Resort.

Day 9 : Chitwan - Pokhara.

Our drive today takes us from the Terai region to the Shivalik region - our aim is to reach Pokhara situated in the middle of Nepal. The valley is at an altitude of 884 m and the Annapurna mountains rise from the plains of the valley. Pokhara is decidedly famous for its mountain views especially the 148 Kms of mountain horizon stretching from Dhaulagiri to Himalchuli. Its beauty is enhanced by the lovely lakes Phewa, Begnas and Rupa. Overnight at Hotel Shangrila.

Day 10 : Pokhara.

If you want the right balance between adventure and relaxing then Pokhara is the place for you. It is a small town in comparison to many of India's cities. Yet, it is one of the largest in Nepal with a population of 95,000. Once a trade route extending between India and Tibet, it is today a base for many of the treks in this area. Overnight at Hotel Shangrila.
Pokhra Valley, Nepal Tours & Travels

Day 11 : Pokhara - Kathmandu.

Pokhara is 200 kilometres from Kathmandu. The route meanders along with the Trishuli River till Bairini and then dips southward to Kathmandu, the Capital of Nepal. Kathmandu is the largest city of Nepal with a cultural bounty that enraptures even those not quite cued into art & architecture. The Durbar Square in the city is a pot pourrie of temples and stupas, flanking the narrow cobbled streets and open courtyards. A testimony to changing times, these ancient masterpieces contrast against the modern Japanese cars and other International products that lie interspersed within the compound. At no time do you find the Square empty of its curious onlookers, idle squatters, vendors and of course the famous hippies of Kathmandu. In fact one of the temples has even been nicknamed , “the hippie temple”, as earlier it was a common meeting point for smoking marijuana, which was only recently banned in the country. A once- upon- a- time haven for the flower children of the 60’s, Freak Street is the other famous area running alongside Durbar Square. Overnight at Hotel Shangrila.

Day 12 : At Leisure Kathmandu.

Anyone, who has visited Kathmandu, will recommend the three masterpieces – Bouddhnath, Pashupatinath and Swayambhunath – three “musts “ while planning out one's itinerary. These beautiful monuments are a testimony to the deep religious and spiritual life that belonged to the past and it is not surprising that UNESCO has nominated these three structures as World Heritage Sites. One can only hope and pray that the world recognizes their worth for centuries to come for it is doubtful that their brilliance can ever be surpassed. Overnight at Hotel Shangrila.

Day 13 :

Drive to Dhulikhel and Bhaktapur along the Arniko Raj Marg. Dhulikhel is a lovely town, 30 Kms east of Kathmandu, famous for its scenic beauty and old tradition. From here one can have a complete panoramic view of the Himalayas from east to West. Overnight at Hotel Shangrila.

Day 14 :
