Description
The Best of Nepal is one of our most popular tours as it
allows you to experience the 3 main activities that Nepal is
justly famous for. Trekking, rafting and jungle safari. With
this itinerary you are guaranteed to get the most from your 2
weeks in the Kingdom. Starting in the ancient capital of
Nepal, we have plenty of time to wander around the sights:
medieval market squares, narrow lanes and hundreds of ancient
Buddhist and Hindu temples.
We then fly to Pokhara, the picturesque lakeside town for the
start of our trek. The trek in the Annapurnas allows us to
witness the splendour of the giant Himalayan peaks and
experience ancient cultures. As we walk through villages
unchanged by the centuries as peaks tower to 8000m above.
On our return from the Annapurnas
 we
head to the town of Bandipur, a small mountain town close to
our rafting put-in. The white-water rafting section of the
trip sees you on the Seti river. The glacier melt from the
Annapurnas flows down this stunning river, and we spend 2 days
mixing adrenaline fuelled rapids and lazy meanderings until we
arrive at one of Asia’s premium wildlife reserves. The wild
and mysterious Chitwan National Park, is home to the Royal
Bengal Tiger and the one horned Rhinoceros. We explore the
jungle on elephant back, foot and by dugout canoe before
heading back to Kathmandu and the ultimate ride.
On the last morning we take you to Everest…by plane, in a
not-to-be missed panorama flight of the highest mountain in
the world.
