   • Namaste!! After you arrive in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal; we will meet you outside the terminal hall of the Tribhuvan International Airport. 
   • With the exchange of greetings, you’ll be transferred to your hotel and introduced to your trekking guide. You can have a conversation with him, discussing the necessities for a trekking expedition.

2. Day 2: Drive to Pokhara (8,30m)

   • This morning, you’ll be picked up from your hotel for a drive to Pokhara on a private tourist bus.
