A Song-Like Journey | 7 Days and 6 Nights Listening to the Ancient Sanskrit Sounds of Nepal~

| 7 Days and 6 Nights Listening to the Ancient Sanskrit Sounds of Nepal~. 🔶🔶🔶 In the midst of mundane daily life, I always yearn for distant lands. One day, I happened to hear the song "Nepal's Smile." The singer's vibrant voice painted a picture of snowy mountains, valleys, and starry skies. Every note was like an invisible hand, gently tugging at my desire for faraway places. "I want to soar above the summit of Pokhara, listening to the wind breathe." When this lyric echoed again, I couldn't sit still any longer. It was time for a spontaneous trip! Destination—Nepal. I wanted to explore the mysterious country depicted in the song, to measure the land with my own feet, and to witness its unique charm with my own eyes❗️ 🌟🌟🌟My Trip Itinerary: Day 1: Arrive in Kathmandu--Thamel District--Kathmandu Durbar Square Day 2: Kathmandu--Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple)--Boudhanath Stupa--Pashupatinath Temple--Evening Ganga Aarti Ceremony Day 3: Kathmandu-Patan Durbar Square--Pokhara Day 4: Pokhara--Damside Park--Phewa Lake Boat Trip--Lakeside Stroll Day 5: Pokhara--Sarangkot--Paragliding--Lumbini Day 6: Lumbini--Kathmandu--Bhaktapur Day 7: Bhaktapur Durbar Square--Kathmandu--Departure 📍Travel Tips 1️⃣Visa: Obtain a Nepal e-visa in advance (free), or opt for a visa on arrival. 2️⃣Currency: Exchange currency at Kathmandu Airport or at various exchange points in the Thamel District. 3️⃣Transportation: Traffic in Kathmandu can be congested. Taxis or local three-wheeled vehicles are recommended for getting around. The road from Kathmandu to Pokhara is still under construction, and the fastest travel time is 7 hours. The journey from Pokhara to Lumbini takes 6 hours by car. 4️⃣Accommodation: Hotels in the Thamel District are recommended for convenient access to Kathmandu's attractions. Lakeside hotels in Pokhara offer stunning views. In Lumbini, hotels near the Lumbini Garden are suitable. 5️⃣Food: Dal Bhat (lentil soup with rice) and MOMO are traditional Nepalese staples. 6️⃣If you have two extra days, consider visiting Chitwan National Park. If you enjoy hiking, Pokhara offers several scenic trails.
