Nepal

Locked between the immense masses of India and China, draped along the highest Himalayas lies the ancient kingdom of Nepal. Within its compact territory it combines an entire monarchy of mountains, beautiful valleys and a whole set of low lying fertile plains complete with jungles, game sanctuaries and fast running rivers.

From trekking to river rafting to mountaineering, everything is possible here - as is a trip to simply be in the country with its people, who are possibly the most openhearted in the world. Treks in Nepal have often been described as 'long walks', their tedium further tempered by the beautiful scenes and the evidence of daily life found along the way, and river rafting here is probably the ultimate thrill short of bungy- jumping!

For those who have limited time but unconstrained aspirations, we have an itinerary that provides a comprehensive encounter with this Himalayan kingdom by combining a visit to Kathmandu, a rafting trip down the Trishuli river, a visit to the Royal Chitwan National Park, a moderate trek and a visit to the beautiful Pokhara valley.

Season: October - November / March -April
