Whether trekking amongst the snow covered Himalayan peaks, spotting tigers in the jungle or exploring ancient temples and palaces, the Nepalese hospitality will soon make you feel at home.

This small country is wedged in between two giants, the arid plateau of Tibet and the hot fertile plains and jungles of India.
The Himalaya forms the backbone of Nepal and provides some of the best mountain scenery in the world. There are many ways to enjoy the spectacular beauty of these giants and Nepal offers them all. Long the preserve of mountaineers and trekkers, the spectacular vistas can now be enjoyed by all. A series of luxury lodges in the Annapurna region, staffed primarily by the Gurkhas, complete with hot water, down pillows and en suite facilities provide a more comfortable alternative to the standard tea-houses.
Those wishing to see the world’s highest peak can see the dark foreboding mass of Everest from the comfort of a light aircraft, or alternatively take to the trails and walk in the Sagarmatha National Park. The majesty of the Himalaya is equalled by the wildlife of Chitwan National Park, where elephant-back safaris seek the elusive tiger and the rare one-horned rhino, while boat trips offer sightings of the park’s 450 bird species and gharial crocodile. The unique architecture of the Kathmandu Valley, the photogenic mountain villages and the open and friendly demeanour of Nepal’s people complete the experience.
