With Mount Everest straddling its border, rare one-horned rhino roaming its jungles and pagodas studding its valleys, the tiny mountain kingdom of Nepal has an almost mythical quality. You don’t have to be an elite mountaineer to explore here, and our specialists can explain the wide variety of trekking options available, as well as experiences beyond the mountains, to shape a tailor-made vacation to Nepal that suits your interests.
Temples, palaces and pilgrimage sites line the Kathmandu Valley, while the capital itself presents you with an assortment of spice bazaars, shrines and artisan workshops. Chitwan National Park is defined by river plains and jungle where Bengal tigers and gharial crocodiles live. In-between you’ll find medieval villages with elaborate Newari mansions and narrow cobbled streets. This is all watched over by the ever-present Annapurna and Everest ranges that form the backbone of the country.
