We did a custom 8 day tour. Kathmandu, Chitwan, Pokhara, Dhampus, Pokhara, Kathmandu. Ryan and our driver Gopal were great, and made sure to proactively communicate with us along the way. The highlights of the trip were the Chitwan National Park (we saw Rhinos in the wild), the hike and overnight in Dhampus (amazing sunrise views of the Annapurnas, and a great guide), and the tour of Bhaktapur (another great guide to this medieval city). Our hotels all had friendly staffs, and were comfortable. We took the private car from Kathmandu to Chitwan, and then Chitwan to Pokhara...while the drives had lots of beautiful scenery, we had seen enough and decided to fly Yeti Air back to Kathmandu from Pokhara. 30 min flight instead of 6+ hours on narrow, bumpy, windy roads. $100 per person, totally worth it. Would highly recommend working with Ryan and the Himalayan smile team to plan your trip.
