Useful tips

If you have more time, visit Lumbini (birthplace of Buddha), Annapurna Circuit Trek, or the scenic Himalayan towns of Nagarkot and Bandipur.

If you have less time, skip Bhaktapur, Chitwan or Pokhara, or reduce the time spent at each attraction. It's recommended to book domestic flights in advance for the mountain flight and allocate enough travel time.
