Overview
This is our most-booked honeymoon, and the thing couples tell us afterwards is that the pace was right. Two full days in the Kathmandu valley, three by the lake in Pokhara, and no morning that starts before six except the one you will be glad about.
Rooms are booked for the view, not the room type, and we confirm it in writing before you pay. A candlelit dinner on the lake and a private sunset boat are included. Flowers and a cake at check-in are arranged free of charge - just tell us the date.
Everything is private: your own vehicle, your own guide, your own schedule. If you want to swap a temple morning for a lie-in, the guide can do that on the day.

Frequently asked questions
- Can you upgrade the hotels?
- Yes. We quote two or three upgrade options at the time of booking, including the five star properties in both cities, so you can see the difference in price before committing.
- Is the room view guaranteed?
- We confirm the specific room category in writing with the hotel, not just a request on the booking. If the hotel cannot honour it, we move you.
- Can we add Chitwan or Nagarkot?
- Both work well. Chitwan adds two nights on the drive between the cities, Nagarkot adds one night at the end for the sunrise view.
