The short answer
Yes. Many couples enjoy Nepal on a road-and-flight plan with sightseeing, short walks, boat rides and viewpoints. Pokhara and the hill stays give mountain views without long walking days. A mountain flight from Kathmandu gives a close look at the Himalaya in about an hour.
If you want a little more than sightseeing, add a short walk such as the Sarangkot trail or a half-day hike near Bandipur. Choose the pace you are comfortable with, and keep one rest day in the middle.
