28th April: Arrival in Kathmandu.
Hotel stay near Thamel area and Relax after long flights.

29th April : Kathmandu City tour.
We’ll be covering all these 4 major attraction points:

-Swoyambhu Mahachaitya (Monkey 🐒 Temple) :
This sacred pilgrimage site is also home to hundreds of monkeys considered holy to Tibetan Buddhists and Hindus. According to legend, Manjushree, the bodhisattva of wisdom, was in the process of raising the temple hill when the lice in his hair transformed into these monkeys.

-Kumari Ghar, the house of Living Goddess Kumari and Durbar Square:
Kumari Ghar is an example of Nepal’s magnificent architecture with its intricate wood carvings of gods and various symbols.
Kathmandu’s Durbar Square was where the city’s kings were once crowned and legitimised, and from where they ruled (durbar means palace). As such, the square remains the traditional heart of the old town and Kathmandu’s most spectacular legacy of traditional architecture.

-Boudhanath Stupa market:
This is a fabulous place to visit. You get to see and experience both a culture and religious site.

-Pashupatinath Temple:
Dedicated to Pashupati, a form of Shiva, it is the oldest Hindu temple in Kathmandu and its existence is recorded as early as 400 CE.

To Note: there are only 2 days hotel accommodation included in the package. Whoever decides to come earlier and explore Kathmandu more, we can arrange airport transfers and accommodation for them for a little extra money. We need to have the flights information and update with flights changes and delays as soon as possible.

30st of April:
* Bus departs Kathmandu at 4 am on Apr30st. Optional flight at 7 am (subject to delays/cancellations).
* Arrival in Pokhara by afternoon, Lunch by lakeside and orientation at Purna Center.
* Welcome dinner at Purna Center with vegan/vegetarian options.

To Note: ✍🏻
— There is always road construction on the Bus ride to Pokhara and traffic. 
It’s a Scenic drive filled with Nature, Mountain View’s and Nepali local life can be observed along the way going through many villages. Buses are big and pretty comfy but the ride is pretty slow and bumpy due to bad road conditions and a never ending road work. 
Bus will leave Kathmandu at 4 am. Whoever wants to skip the bumpy long bus Ride, we can put them in a small flight leaving at around 7 am. (Note that flights there are very commonly delayed or cancelled by weather conditions and the people might end up using buses anyway and loose lots of time on the way leaving Kathmandu at a later hour.
— After Lakeside Lunch when we’ll arrive at Purna Center will have an Orientation and start educating everyone about the ABC trek and help them repack their backpacks and do a Q & A session. 
We’ll have a welcome Special vegan/vegetarian Dinner at Purna Center.
— Will also send out a tutorial video on YouTube before the trip, on how to be minimal and have light backpacks 🎒 because we won’t use sherpas or mules to carry our bags on the trek and trekking with heavy backpacks carrying unnecessary weight, we’ll make the journey struggling and not enjoyable, trekking at a slower pace.
