After breakfast, visit Changu Narayan, Nepal’s oldest temple and a quiet place of worship wrapped in intricate carvings and ancient stillness.

Fly to Pokhara in the afternoon. Once you arrive, stop by the International Mountain Museum to trace the stories of climbers, summits, and the people who call the mountains home. As the day softens, take a kayak onto Phewa Lake, watching the peaks reflect in the water as the sun begins to slip away.
