This carefully chosen trip offers visitors a different viewpoint on Nepal’s rich tapestry of experiences by combining the excitement of urban legacy, the calm appeal of a hilltop town, the adventure of jungle safaris, and the tranquilly of monastic life.

The journey starts in Kathmandu, a city vibrantly alive with past. Being the cultural center of Nepal, it presents an interesting blend of historic temples, busy streets, and energetic markets.

From Kathmandu, the trip brings one to Bandipur, a charming hill station on a crest with views of the Himalayan foothills.

The village provides a peace and a means of escape from the bustle of city life. Here you may enjoy the warmth of Nepalese village life, soak in the surrounding countryside’s natural beauty, and view great mountains like Annapurna and Manaslu. Bandipur is a place to relax and re-connect with nature whether one is strolling slowly over its car-free streets or basking in the sunset from its hilltop viewpoints.

Chitwan National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and among the best wildlife reserves in Asia, is the next stop. Tucked in the subtropical lowlands of Nepal, Chitwan is a haven for rare and threatened animals like Bengal tigers, one-horned rhinoceros, and an amazing array of wildlife. An overnight inside the jungle, sleeping in a treehouse gives the experience adventure and closeness. From exhilarating Jeep safaris to peaceful canoe trips down the Rapti River, every moment in Chitwan gets you closer to the wild majesty of nature. Cultural interactions give one understanding of the active local community by seeing traditional Tharu events.

The tour ends in Kathmandu, where a night at a monastery provides a contemplative finish to your trip.
