Trip Overview
Nepal, being a historical and cultural heart of this world, is a popular destination for tourists, trekkers and adventure seekers. Nepal is filled with the enchanting medieval palaces, pagodas, temples, statues and stupas and other unparalleled adventure options to discover. As for its people --- from the Tharus that shares their land with the splendid Asian tuskers in the plains to the brave Yak herders of Dolpo --- they are as amazing as the land itself. Here in its tropical jungles, the Royal Bengal Tiger prowls, and higher up, the legend of the Yeti lives on. Although modernization has set in, the quintessence of ancient Nepal remains amongst its people.
The three ancient cities of the Kathmandu Valley represent an epitome of harmony in urban design, elegant architecture and refined culture with their evocative city squares and ancient architecture. These cities pack a concentration of religious monuments unequalled in the world. Here you have numbers of opportunity and option to explore Nepal. It would be a serious oversight for any travelers to Nepal to neglect visiting at least some of the fascinating and beautiful places of interest. Dhulikhel & one hour Mountain flight offers you the excellent views of the great Himalayan ranges, Pokhara, Tansen & Lumbini are the Gem of Nepal. Your trekking adventures take you to Dhampus and Ghandrung, with spectacular mountain views. One day rafting trip on the Trisuli River and National Parks and Wildlife Reserves give you a unique glimpse of great adventure.
