Cultural and Historical Sites:
Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, is rich in cultural and historical sites, including UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, Swayambhunath Stupa, and Kathmandu Durbar Square. Nagarkot is also a popular tourist destination for its stunning sunrise and sunset views over the Himalayas.
Natural Beauty:
Pokhara is a beautiful city surrounded by natural wonders like Phewa Lake, the Annapurna mountain range, and the Seti River. Rafting on the Seti River can be a thrilling experience for adventure enthusiasts.
Wildlife and Nature:
Chitwan National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to several endangered species like Bengal tigers, one-horned rhinos, and Asian elephants. Visitors can go on a jungle safari or a nature walk to observe wildlife and explore the park's natural beauty.
Adventure Activities:

The best time for the 10 Days Nepal Tour with Rafting is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons. These periods offer pleasant weather, clear skies, and ideal conditions for both sightseeing and rafting.
Spring (March to May): During this season, the weather is mild, and the hills and valleys are covered in blooming flowers, especially rhododendrons. It's perfect for enjoying the scenic beauty of Pokhara, the wildlife activities in Chitwan, and the sunrise views at Sarangkot and Nagarkot.
Autumn (September to November): This is considered the best time for the tour, with crystal-clear mountain views and moderate temperatures. The monsoon rains have cleared the dust, making the landscapes vibrant and lush. Rafting in the Seti River is also more enjoyable during this time, thanks to the calm river flows.
Avoid the monsoon season (June to August) due to heavy rains, which can affect road conditions and rafting experiences. Winter (December to February) is also an option for those who prefer cooler temperatures, though some areas, especially Nagarkot, can get chilly.
