We have gathered some romantic gateways in Nepal for Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day is without a doubt the most romantic day of the year. This trend originated in western culture, but it has gained popularity in Nepal as well. It’s a celebration where people express and celebrate their love for one another.
On Valentine’s Day, going on a lovely dinner date, sharing chocolates, and a card from the one you love is not a new thing. There’s nothing wrong with not celebrating at all or celebrating it wholeheartedly. This completely depends on personal choice.
If valentines day excites you, why not treat yourself and your loved ones to a romantic getaway. Travel to the Himalayas with your significant other and savor every minute of intimacy, love, and togetherness. We’ve compiled a list of some of the top Valentine’s Day getaways in Nepal this year to help you plan a trip to remember.
1. Everest Heli Tour
Experience the thrill of witnessing the beautiful Himalayas on an Everest Panoramic Heli tour. This vacation is specifically intended for couples and is an excellent adventurous treat for Valentine’s Day. Reach the base camp of the world’s highest mountain and enjoy a magnificent helicopter ride with luxury. Reach the iconic point of Kala Patthar and the base camp of the world’s tallest mountain, Mt. Everest (8,848m/ 29,030 ft.).
Everest Panoramic Heli tour begins in Kathmandu and travels eastwards along with the Himalayan range, providing wonderful views of the soaring Himalayan peaks and towards the lovely Sherpa settlement of Lukla, the Everest gateway. The flight departs from Lukla after refueling and heads for Everest Base Camp / Kalapathar. To reach Mount Everest’s Base Camp, the flight passes over the Tengboche, Dingboche, Gorakshep, and Khumbu glaciers.
2. Nepal Tour (Kathmandu, Chitwan and Pokhara)
This Nepal travel package is ideal for Valentine’s Day. The trip begins with a tour of Kathmandu’s cultural and historical sites, which showcase medieval art and architecture from the Kathmandu valley.
Nagarkot, the most scenic spot on the hilltop, will be the next stop. Participate in photographing the most spectacular sunrise and sunset sun rays above the snowcapped Himalayas.
After spending some time relaxing in Nagarkot, take an intriguing journey through the countryside, passing by villages, rivers, and lush hills on your approach to the most remote Chitwan National Park. Elephant safaris, elephant bathing, rafting, and jungle walks are just a few of the thrilling activities available in Chitwan.
After leaving Chitwan National Park with wonderful memories, you will go to Pokhara, Nepal’s most romantic city. Pokhara is well-known as a city of lakes and a popular recreational destination. You can chill here with a short boat ride on Fewa Lake, as well as sightseeing of Seti Gorge, caverns, and Devi’s Fall. Another activity you may indulge in during your time in Pokhara is a silent walk around the Peace Pagoda and a sunrise view from Sarangkot.
3. Short Poon Hill Trek
Annapurna Sunrise Trekking or Annapurna Panorama Trekking are other names for Poon Hill Trekking. This hike is the most popular among tourists because it is easy and equally rewarding. This lovely hike takes you to the viewpoint of Poon Hill (3210m). Trekkers can experience treks with breathtaking Himalayan views. The hike begins with a flight from Kathmandu valley to the lovely city of Pokhara.
The trek leads to small Gurung villages and trekkers can enjoy majestic mountain scenery along the way. Trekkers can hear the chirping of birds in the Rhododendron forest, as well as the breathtaking valleys and snow-capped mountains. It is also referred to as a photographer’s paradise on certain trekking routes.
While on this trip, trekkers can get the greatest views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. Because Gandruk and Ghorepani are the villages of these communities in the Annapurna region, trekkers will have the opportunity to learn about their religions, customs, and traditions. Finally, trekkers can visit Pokhara, which is quite attractive and full of gorgeous scenery, on their way back to Kathmandu.
4. Pilgrimage tour to Muktinath Temple
The Holy Muktinath, a Hindu and Buddhist pilgrimage site, is located at an elevation of 3,750 meters at the foot of the Thorong-La pass in Mustang province. The Hindus call it Mukti Kshetra, which means “place of salvation,” and the Buddhists call it Chumig Gyatsa, which means “Hundred Waters” in Tibetan. Muktinath’s primary shrine is a pagoda-shaped temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The 108 waterspouts around the temple spew water from the Gandaki River, where Hindu worshipers take their ceremonial baths. Muktinath is also a good place to look for ‘saligrams.’ Saligram (Ammonite fossil) is a black stone that breaks open to expose the fossilized remains of prehistoric ammonites that lived 130 million years ago.
5. Tandem Swing in Nepal
The swing, like the bungy, is almost 160 meters high and takes you to a speed of 150 kilometers, which is approximately as fast as you can go in Nepal without taking an aircraft. Sharing new experiences like this is a fantastic way for friends and even couples to enhance their ties. This could be perfect for this valentine if you want some thrill and adventure.
