Our adventure in Nepal begins in the wonder-filled capital of Kathmandu, a fascinating and exotic
city of ancient temples, palaces, stupas and colourful streets of traditional houses, many intricately
carved. We travel on to Chitwan National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the country’s most
visited national park, for jeep safaris with the chance to spot the one horned rhinoceros, bird watching,
elephant rides and canoe safaris on the Rapti River. We continue to the Pokhara Valley in the
Nepalese Himalayas to stay in a remote mountain lodge with breath-taking scenery, before returning
to Kathmandu via the medieval Newar town of Bhaktapur.
