Luxury Retreats Tour

Best Time

The 7-day Luxury Retreats Tour itinerary is suitable for travel in any season of Nepal except the monsoon season due to heavy rainfall. However, you can also travel in the rainy season, as we mostly travel in major cities with good road conditions. But you will need proper gear to walk while it rains and sightsee the key attractions. You can travel any season for a Nepal luxury tour, depending on your interest and preference. Below is a list of seasons explained briefly:

Autumn (Sep-Nov): Autumn is called the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness because of its gentle atmosphere. During this time, fruits and crops ripen and are ready for harvesting. The clear blue skies and mild weather create it a perfect season for a luxury retreat tour.

The mountain views are also jaw-dropping when you do the Everest mountain flight. Similarly, you can also enjoy the touch of major festivals that take place this season. Due to the festive season, you will see a joyful environment when traveling in the Kathmandu Valley, making your trip unforgettable.

Spring (Mar-May): Spring is the most well-loved season by travelers for the Luxury Retreats Tour cost package. Spring is also known as “the season of renewal and rebirth” and “the season of blossoms” because flowers bloom and plants start to grow again. You can enjoy the natural scenery while sightseeing and experiencing the cultural heritage of the Kathmandu Valley.

Traveling in the spring season offers pleasant weather, neither too cold nor too hot, which will enhance your experience in Kathmandu Valley, Pokhara, and the Everest region. During this season, you can also experience the Holi and Seto Machindranath Jatra festivals.

Winter (Dec-Jan): The winter season is also perfect for traveling on the Luxury Retreats Tour. You do not trek on this short 7-day tour or reach higher altitudes with a very low oxygen level. For this reason, winter can provide an enhanced travel experience due to cooler temperatures during the day.

Similarly, when visiting the UNESCO-listed heritage sites in the Kathmandu Valley at a cooler temperature, you’ll feel cozier and more relaxed, and there will be fewer crowds in the landmarks. In the valley during the winter, you can enjoy festivals like Yomari Punhi and Maghe Sankranti.

Monsoon (Jun-Aug): During monsoon, embarking on the Luxury Retreats tour package allows you to experience rain-soaked landscapes and green surroundings. The trip will still be enjoyable due to the fewer visitors to the cultural landmarks. You will have space to click amazing photos.

You may also encounter leeches around some heritage sites, especially during the monsoon. So, be careful while walking — they can stick to your body if you brush against wet grass or plants.

Elevation and distance

On this Luxury Retreats tour, you will not have to reach high altitudes while traveling to different destinations in Nepal. After you land in Kathmandu City, you will be at an elevation of 1,400 m (4,593 ft). Similarly, you will watch the sun rise from the Nagarkot Viewpoint at a height of 2,195 m (7,201 ft).

While in Pokhara, you will be at 850 m (2,789 ft), the lowest elevation on this entire 7-day luxury tour itinerary in Nepal. In the same way, you will witness the sunrise over the Annapurna range and other Himalayas while standing at an elevation of 1,600 m (5,249 ft). Due to the lower elevations, altitude sickness is not a concern at all on this 7-day trip.

From day one to day seven, you will travel approximately 810 km (503 miles) on this best luxury retreat tour in Nepal, including flights and sightseeing. On the third day, you will travel around 50 kilometers sightseeing in Bhaktapur and Patan and reach Nagarkot. Similarly, on the fourth day, you will travel 30 kilometers when visiting Sarangkot and Pokhara sightseeing.

Maximum and minimum travel per day

Similarly, the maximum travel per day will be on the second day, up to seven to eight hours, when you take the Everest mountain flight in the Khumbu region and then return for sightseeing in Kathmandu, where you will visit four UNESCO-listed cultural sites.

Your Extra Expenditures

Although the Luxury Retreats Tour you opted for covers most of the necessary elements, you will still have to pay for some extras. For instance, none of the drinks, be it mineral water, soft drinks, or an alcoholic beverage, are part of the package, so your payment is needed to cover the drinks.

Besides this, you must be in charge of all the extra adventures if you add more days to the Nepal luxury tour itinerary. Out of the personal expenses’ category, laundry, phone bills, shopping, and tipping are not included in the package.

Thus, it would be good to have some extra money with you for things like an unexpected purchase, a souvenir, or any other thing that may occur to you during this best luxury retreat tour in Nepal.

Private Tour Vs Group Tour

The decision to settle on either a private tour or a group tour for the Luxury Retreats Tour comes down to your own traveling goals and motives. A private tour will not only allow you to move at your own pace, but you are also granted a reasonable degree of flexibility in terms of the itinerary and, even more, private attention from the local guide.

The private tour is mostly opted for by couples, families, or those who are fond of privacy and customized services. On the contrary, the group tour suits such kinds of tourists who are all about mingling and socializing. It is regularly cheaper and has a definite schedule marked by the travel companies. Comfort and high-quality options are available with no restrictions, but your preference for exploring the mountains in Nepal determines the right choice.
