This is an ideal introduction to the delights of Nepal, with a variety of activities through which to see and experience the many aspects of this magnificent country. For history and culture we explore Kathmandu: the narrow streets, temples, stupas and pagodas of the city and the surrounding valley have an almost mediaeval atmosphere. For magnificent mountain views we visit Nagarkot before heading westward to the old capital of Gorkha and on to Pokhara, set in a subtropical valley, where we walk in the hills beneath the mighty Annapurnas. For wildlife we visit Chitwan National Park, home to the Indian rhino and Bengal tiger, where from a comfortable jungle lodge we explore the park by canoe, on an elephant and on foot.
The energetic can even fit in an optional day's rafting on the Trisuli River. This trip is a chance to see some of the most majestic mountains on earth, to experience the sheer charm of Nepal's culture, and to meet a hospitable and cheerful people living beneath the snow-capped Himalaya
