The 7-day Private Guided Nepal tour is a private Nepal luxury tour package covering Kathmandu and Pokhara, built entirely around one idea: a single expert guide with you from start to finish. This is a genuine private guided Nepal tour, made for travellers who want to go beyond the standard sightseeing experience stops and see the country through the eyes of someone who knows it deeply. Everything is private: your own luxury car, your own guide throughout, and your own pace.
In Kathmandu, you stay at Dwarika's Hotel, a heritage hotel famous for its rescued Newari woodcarvings, itself a fitting base for a trip about craft and culture. With your private guide, you visit Boudhanath Stupa, Pashupatinath Temple, Swayambhunath (the Monkey Temple), Patan Durbar Square and Bhaktapur Durbar Square, but the emphasis throughout is on the details a standard tour would miss: quiet courtyards, working artists' workshops, small family-run temples and conversations with craftsmen who have practised their trade for generations.
A short scenic flight of about 25 minutes takes you to Pokhara, the lake city at the foot of the Annapurna range. You stay at Temple Tree Resort & Spa, just a short walk from Phewa Lake, and watch the sunrise from Sarangkot over Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Machhapuchhre. Your guide continues to open doors here too, from a private boat ride to Tal Barahi Temple to lesser-known viewpoints and local eateries.
Your signature experience is a private thangka painting or metalwork class with a master artist in Patan or Bhaktapur, where you learn directly from someone who has spent a lifetime mastering the craft, with your guide translating and explaining the symbolism as you go.
This Nepal luxury tour package is a wonderful choice for culturally curious couples and families, and works equally well as a Nepal honeymoon package for couples who want depth over a checklist. There is no trekking, and the entire journey is shaped around your interests and pace, with your guide adjusting each day to what you enjoy most.
Airport → Dwarika's Hotel → Pashupatinath → Boudhanath Stupa
· Transport: Private luxury car · Sightseeing: about 3 hours
Your first day depends on your flight time, and the plan below suits a midday arrival. This is also your first chance to tell your guide what interests you most, so the rest of the trip can be shaped around it.
On arrival: Your guide meets you outside Tribhuvan International Airport with a flower garland and a warm welcome, and your driver looks after your luggage. On the drive into Kathmandu, about 15 to 30 minutes, your guide asks about your interests so the coming days can be tailored around them.
2:00 PM: Check in at Dwarika's with a welcome drink in the brick courtyard. Your guide can join you for a short private tour of the hotel's own woodcarving workshop, a fitting introduction to the craft you will see throughout the trip.
4:00 PM: Drive about 10 minutes to Pashupatinath Temple, Nepal's holiest Hindu site, on the banks of the Bagmati River. Your guide explains the rituals along the ghats in depth, well beyond a standard overview. Non-Hindus cannot enter the main temple but get a clear view from the opposite bank.
5:30 PM: Continue to Boudhanath Stupa and walk clockwise around its base as the sun goes down, among butter lamps, prayer wheels and monks in maroon robes. Your guide points out details in the paintings and prayer flags that most visitors miss.
7:00 PM: Return to Dwarika's for a relaxed first evening. Dinner is at leisure and at your own cost, and your guide is happy to suggest a restaurant that matches your tastes.
Dwarika's Hotel → Swayambhunath → Patan Durbar Square → Metalworkers' Workshops
Meals: Luxury Breakfast · Transport: Private luxury car · Sightseeing: about 7 hours including lunch
A day built around craft and detail, starting with the valley's hilltop stupa and continuing into the working workshops of Patan.

11:15 AM: Drive to Patan Durbar Square, once the seat of the Malla kings, and visit the Patan Museum and the ornate Golden Temple nearby.
12:30 PM: With your guide, step into the lanes behind the square where metalworkers still cast statues and ritual objects by hand, using methods passed down for generations. Your guide arranges an introduction so you can watch the process up close and ask questions.
1:30 PM: Lunch at a heritage courtyard restaurant in Patan (own cost), where your guide can suggest a few classic Nepali dishes worth trying.
3:00 PM: Continue exploring Patan's quieter lanes and courtyards with your guide, well away from the busier tourist routes, discovering small shrines and traditional Newari houses.

11:00 AM — Private thangka painting or metalwork class with a master artist. Depending on your interest, spend time with a thangka painter learning the symbolism and technique behind these intricate Buddhist scroll paintings, or with a metalworker learning the basics of repoussé and casting. Your guide translates and explains the meaning behind each step.
1:00 PM: Lunch at a rooftop restaurant overlooking Bhaktapur's terracotta rooftops (own cost). Try Bhaktapur's famous king curd, a thick, sweet yoghurt, if you would like.
2:30 PM: Continue wandering Bhaktapur's quieter courtyards and lanes with your guide, away from the main square, to see daily life continuing much as it has for centuries.
