How to choose
In Kathmandu, combine two sites in one day, or go up to Nagarkot or Chandragiri for the mountain view. In Pokhara, start with the Sarangkot sunrise, then choose paragliding, the bungee jump or the city tour. For a short walk, Sundarijal, Champadevi or the Dhampus and Australian Camp hike give you hills and views in a day. A child pays the adult price.
