Luxury Tour in Nepal
About Luxury Tour in Nepal
A Luxury Tour in Nepal is an 11-day luxury tour to Nepal, packed around 4- & 5-star hotels, private tour guides, private domestic flights and organized cultural, wildlife and mountain experiences. Royal Holidays Adventure customizes all its Premium Tours to ensure the beauty of the Himalayas without compromises on the comforts. Whether it is through heritage temples, an Everest flight trip, jungle safaris, lakeside sunset, each day is a day that is planned with an aim of being exclusive, safe and with genuine local insight, so you experience Nepal, its culture, its nature and the highest standard of hospitality that Nepal has to offer today with a team that lives and works in Nepal year-round.
A Nepal Luxury Tour takes the guesswork out of travelling to Nepal, as compared to a trekking package. The guests' airport transfer, hotel booking in Nepal, private vehicle, entry permits, and a dedicated guide are all pre-arranged so that you do not have to face any delays or logistics issues in moving between Kathmandu/Luxury Hotels in Nepal, Chitwan National Park and Pokhara. This is why the drivers and properties used by Royal Holidays Adventure are carefully selected to ensure high levels of comfort and safety and are recommended by their returning guests to family and friends heading to Nepal for their first time and are even booked more than once for a second region.
The answers to the questions travelers have been asking before booking a Premium Tour, whether the tour is truly luxurious, if there are any five star hotels in Nepal and what exactly is included when travelling to Nepal on a Premium Tour. There are also day by day highlights, inclusion tables and pricing guidance that are all based on our 11-day program, so that when you arrive in Kathmandu you know what to expect and will not be caught out in any hidden surprises.

What Are the Best Nepal Luxury Tours?
The most popular Luxury Tours in Nepal all go to Kathmandu, Chitwan and Pokhara, as the perfect combination of culture, nature and mountain views without overdoing the itinerary. That's exactly the formula that has created Royal Holidays Adventure's flagship product – an eleven-day holiday around four-and-five-star accommodation with private transport and a fixed group size of 2 to 14 guests, meaning service quality never drops.
Kathmandu Cultural Highlights
The tour begins with the three UNESCO World Heritage sites of Kathmandu: Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, and Swayambhu Nath, which showcase Nepal's living Hindu and Buddhist heritage. Each visit is accompanied by a private guide and most of our travelers, including some of the most popular additions to all tours, enjoy the one-hour Everest scenic flight.
Pokhara Lakeside Escape
The balance is achieved in Pokhara with Phewa Lake, World Peace Pagoda and a sunrise viewpoint at Sarankhot which overhangs the Annapurna range. Residents of our partner’s upscale properties in this city frequently say it's the most relaxing time of the trip is the evenings by the lakes.
Chitwan Wildlife Safari
Chitwan National Park includes jeep safaris, a cultural show of the Tharu people and canoeing on the Rapti River. This is the contrast to mountain and city days with one horned rhino, one Bengal tiger and more than five hundred bird species recorded.
Popular Nepal Luxury Tour Routes
| City / Region | Signature Experience | Typical Nights | Best For |
| Kathmandu | UNESCO temples and Everest scenic flight | 3 nights | Culture and heritage lovers |
| Chitwan National Park | Jeep safari and Tharu cultural show | 2 nights | Wildlife and nature seekers |
| Pokhara | Phewa Lake and Sarangkot sunrise | 3 nights | Relaxation and mountain views |

Luxury Tour in Nepal FAQs
Find answers to the most common questions about the Luxury Tour in Nepal, including permits, itinerary, cost, and difficulty.
What is the difference between a luxury tour and a standard tour in Nepal?
The luxury tour package includes 4- and 5-star hotels, private vehicles (not shared vehicles), a dedicated guide, and pre-booked domestic flights with a standard tour usually incorporating budget hotels, shared vehicles and less services included. Eleven days on the Premium Tour from Royal Holidays Adventure, the tour is designed around this comfort standard, meaning passengers only have one standard price and are guaranteed a consistently comfortable experience from start to finish.
How many days do I need for a Nepal luxury tour?
Royal Holidays Adventure planned its popular Premium Tour to last for eleven days and is not so rushed between trips to be able to cover all the three destinations – Kathmandu, Chitwan and Pokhara. Shorter 5-6 day versions are available if you are willing to miss out on the wildlife safari or the lakeside stay and our consultants will reassemble the itinerary around the days that you have available.
Is Nepal expensive for a luxury vacation?
Nepal is still less expensive than most Asian luxury tour destinations even at the top end of the scale, and an eleven day fully guided Luxury Tour will cost around two thousand US dollars per person or more for hotels, transportation, flights and guiding. Five star-only packages, private helicopter transfers or travelling alone increase the cost of the package, but even the highest of the Luxury Hotels in Nepal are not as expensive as those in nearby countries.
What is included in the luxury package tour price?
The package price for a full luxury package is typically a single, upfront price, which is usually inclusive of a professional guide, domestic airfare, hotel accommodation, entry permits for the country, private ground transport, and airport transfers. The cost of alcoholic drinks, spa treatments, travel insurance and tips are typically charged on top of the room rate, and all inclusions/exclusions are clearly stated before you make a booking on the Royal Holidays Adventure website.
Do luxury tours in Nepal include the Everest flight?
Yes, most Premium Tours, including our eleven-day itinerary, include a one-hour scenic flight over Mount Everest and the surrounding Himalayan range as a core highlight rather than an optional extra. The flight departs early morning from Kathmandu on a clear weather day, and window seats are arranged for every passenger, so nobody misses the mountain view.
Are Nepal’s luxury hotels comparable to five-star hotels elsewhere in Asia?
Nepal’s best Luxury Hotels in Nepal, especially in Kathmandu and Pokhara, are like international five-star hotels. Its room quality, dining and spa facilities are great, but the country is not as well-known for large international chains as other destinations such as Thailand or the UAE. Many travelers prefer a property with distinctive architecture and service rather than a standardization of the world’s service brands and the accommodation they provide, and this is where boutique heritage properties often outperform the chains of hotel establishments.
What is the best time of year for a luxury tour in Nepal?
Late September through November and March through May are the best times for booking a Premium Tour, as the weather is stable and clear and the temperatures are the most comfortable. City and Chitwan-based trips can be enjoyed in the winter season, and the summer monsoon (June to August) is not recommended because of delays and flights and loss of visibility in the mountains.
Can a luxury tour in Nepal be customized?
Yes, Royal Holidays Adventure tailors every Luxury Tour in Nepal to certain travel dates, group size, mobility requirements and interest, including changing the Ghandruk village night to more time in Pokhara or adding a private helicopter section. Provide your travel requirements and interests to our travel specialists and they will customize the standard eleven-day tour around your needs, with no extra charge for your planning.
Is Chitwan National Park worth including in a luxury tour?
Chitwan provides added value to the cultural and mountain part of the trip with jeep safaris, canoe rides and possible encounters with Bengal tigers and one-horned rhino. Luxury jungle resorts here are of the same standard as city hotels and travelers don’t have to compromise on their stay when they have the jungle experience.
How far in advance should I book a Nepal luxury tour?
If you are traveling to Nepal in the autumn or spring season, it is suggested that you make your bookings at least 3 to 6 months in advance as there is high demand for both the luxury hotels in Nepal and domestic flights during this period. Availability can be confirmed within one business day after you put in your preferred travel window for last-minute bookings outside of peak seasons with Royal Holidays Adventure.
