An adventurous, romantic honeymoon
For couples who'd rather share a sunrise over the Himalaya than lie on a beach, Nepal is a magical honeymoon. It combines adventure, culture, luxury, and breathtaking scenery — and it's far more romantic than its rugged reputation suggests.
Lakeside Pokhara
Pokhara is Nepal's most romantic city — a tranquil lake reflecting the Annapurna range, sunset boat rides on Phewa Lake, candlelit lakeside dinners, and boutique resorts with mountain views. The perfect soft landing or finale.
A gentle couples' trek
You don't need a gruelling expedition. The Ghorepani Poon Hill or Ghandruk treks offer a few days of stunning scenery, cosy teahouses, and that shared sense of achievement — watching the sunrise over Annapurna together from Poon Hill is unforgettable. Private guided treks let you go at your own romantic pace.

Heritage hotels, spa resorts, and the splurge of an Everest scenic flight or heli breakfast.
A Chitwan safari escape
Pair the mountains with the jungle — a luxury lodge in Chitwan National Park for rhino and wildlife safaris, Tharu cultural evenings, and riverside sunsets. A wonderful contrast to the Himalaya.
Luxury and indulgence
Nepal's top end has grown beautifully — heritage hotels in Kathmandu, spa resorts in Pokhara and Dhulikhel, and the ultimate splurge: an Everest scenic mountain flight or a helicopter tour with a Himalayan breakfast landing.
