Nepal Honeymoon Tour
Nepal Honeymoon Tour Overview
Some honeymoons are about doing nothing. This one is about doing everything, together, somewhere neither of you has been before.
Over ten days, this trip moves through the parts of Nepal that actually change how you see a place as a couple — not just checking off landmarks, but the kind of mornings you'll still be talking about years later. It starts in Kathmandu, where the Kathmandu Valley's UNESCO World Heritage Sites — Pashupatinath, Boudhanath, Swayambhunath, the old Durbar Squares — give you a first taste of a country where ancient and everyday life sit side by side.
From there, it's Pokhara, and this is where the trip really starts to feel like a honeymoon—boating out on Phewa Lake at golden hour. Waking up before dawn to watch the sun hit the Annapurna range from Sarangkot — genuinely one of the most romantic sunrise views in the Himalaya, and worth setting an alarm for. A short, easy trek into Ghandruk follows, a Gurung village where Annapurna, Machhapuchhre, and Dhaulagiri feel close enough to touch, and where the pace of life slows down in a way that's hard to describe until you're standing in it.
Then the trip shifts entirely — Chitwan National Park, and suddenly you're canoeing past crocodiles on the Rapti River and tracking rhinos and Bengal tigers from an elephant-back or jeep safari. It's a strange, wonderful contrast to the mountains, and most couples say it's the part they didn't expect to love as much as they did.
You'll fly back to Kathmandu for one last night — a farewell dinner with traditional Nepali dance, a quiet toast to the trip, before heading home. Global Nepal Treks handles every transfer, flight, and hotel booking along the way, plus a few honeymoon-specific touches, so the only real job either of you has for ten days is enjoying each other's company somewhere spectacular.
Things You Need to Know
Duration & Difficulty
Ten days, and genuinely easy — the only trekking involved is the walk into and out of Ghandruk, at 2–3 hours a day on well-established trails. You don't need to be in trekking shape for this; you need to be excited about the destination.
Best Time to Go
Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are your best windows — clear skies, crisp mountain views, and comfortable temperatures for both the sunrise hike at Sarangkot and the Ghandruk trek.
Where You'll Stay
3-star hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara, a proper resort in Chitwan, and a village lodge in Ghandruk for the one night you're on the trail. Breakfast is included throughout; full board kicks in during the trek and in Chitwan.
The Honeymoon Extras
A few small touches designed specifically for couples — a complimentary honeymoon surprise on arrival, and a farewell dinner with live cultural dance in a traditional Nepali restaurant on your final night.
