Overview
Draw a line connecting the three of the most popular destinations in Nepal, you’ll find yourself making a triangle, thus the name Golden Triangle.
The Kathmandu Valley, Pokhara, and Chitwan have been major draws for tourists visiting Nepal for centuries. The Kathmandu Valley is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the cultural heart of Nepal, with its rich history, architecture, and religious sites. Pokhara, situated at the foothills of the Annapurna range, has been a gateway for trekkers and adventurers. Chitwan National Park, established in 1973, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a significant conservation area for endangered species like the one-horned rhinoceros and Bengal tiger.
The Golden Triangle of Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan offers a diverse range of experiences for tourists, from cultural immersion to outdoor adventures and wildlife safaris. This combination of attractions has made it a popular tourist circuit, attracting visitors from around the globe.
The Kathmandu Valley's cultural and historical sites, such as the Boudhanath Stupa, Pashupatinath Temple, and the Durbar Squares, provide a glimpse into Nepal's rich cultural heritage. Pokhara, with its stunning natural scenery and opportunities for trekking and adventure sports, appeals to outdoor enthusiasts. Chitwan National Park, on the other hand, offers a unique wildlife experience, with jungle safaris, elephant rides, and opportunities to learn about the local Tharu culture.
