With breathtaking snow peaks, bucolic hill towns, lilting flute music, chanting monks, wafting incense, tropical lowlands, charismatic wildlife, and the vibrant, bustling capital city Kathmandu, Nepal is truly a feast for the senses. An ancient culture and mysticism permeates the region, its temples and traditions. And the Nepali people are infamous for their hospitality, humor and humility. You’ll visit the mystical and ancient Kathmandu Valley with its stunning carved wood architecture, explore holy Buddhist and Hindu temples and learn about the cornucopia of Gods that permeate Nepalese daily lives and the country’s many festivals.
You’ll visit the laid-back lakeside city of Pokhara in the heart of the Annapurna and embark on a 3-day light to moderate trek visiting rural Nepal and communities while the mountain views become ever more stunning. You’ll take a quick flight to southwest Nepal and its sub-tropical forest and grasslands to visit magnificent Bardia National Park, the largest protected natural area in the Terai. More remote than Chitwan, it’s a bit harder to get to but well worth the journey.
