Classic circuit of Nepal
Everest and Annapurna for hikers
This circuit through Nepal is excellent especially for those who do not plan any more demanding trekking, but would still like to walk at least a little and enjoy the views of both the world's highest mountain, Mount Everest, and the Annapuren ridge.

1st to 2nd day
Kathmandu and surroundings
In the first days, you will get acquainted with Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Patan and other historical attractions in the Kathmandu Basin. The inspection of the entire basin will take approximately five days, so it is ideal to divide it into two parts. The first after arrival and the second part before departure. So at least the sights will not „tire you“.
Travel through Kathmandu valley
The place of three royal towns
Most tourists to Nepal reserve a few days for the case of unexpected circumstances and they usually spend them in Kathmandu or in its vicinity. It is quite surprising how many interesting and historical places are located here. So there is no need to stay only around Thamel, but you can enjoy the history of Nepal and admire the interesting views of Himalayas. continue reading

Day 10

Drive Prithvi Highway
Káthmándú - Pokhara
The most frequently used road route by tourists in Nepal is probably more than 200 km long Prithvi Highway leading from Kathmandu to Pokhara. Moreover, there are a number of important branches on the way: to Arughat Bazaar (the basis of Manaslu trek), Bharatpur/Sauraha (Chitwan NP), Gorkha (the historical town and alternative start of the trek around Manaslu) and Besi Shahar (the basis of the trek around Annapurnas), so if you go back to Nepal, you will be familiar with it. Long driving time between 6–8 hours in often crowded bus is compensated by spectacular views of the verdant mountains of the Little Himalayas Mahabharat. There will be countless number of rice fields around you and if weather permits, the horizon will be dominated by the peaks of Ganesh and Manaslu. Most of the route leads along the beautiful river Trisuli, a paradise for rafters. If you want to enjoy this trip even more and take better photos than from the bus window, it is ideal to rent a bike. But it is a pretty risky business in the local traffic. continue reading
