Travel to Nepal
On most adventure tours in Nepal you will get a great introduction to all that this stunning country has to offer. Most trips start in the fascinating capital Kathmandu with ancient temples.
From Kathmandu you might fly to Pokhara, set on the edge of Phewa Lake. Here you can take time to go boating before setting out to trek through the Himalayan Mountains.
The Annapurna region provides the best introduction to trekking in Nepal. Trek through rhododendron and oak forests, and along river valleys, passing through small villages along the way and staying in local tea-houses. Climb Poon Hill for sunrise and the breathtaking views across the Annapurnas and Dhaulagiri range.
At the end of most treks you will take in some of the sights in Pokhara – David Falls, Shiva Cave, and a hike up to the World Peace Buddhist Stupa, before heading off in search of the one horned Rhino and elusive Bengal Tiger in Royal Chitwan National Park.
Here you can travel by canoe and on elephant back looking for wildlife, and join in a traditional stick dance, before flying back to Kathmandu.
Tour prices for Nepal are really great value for money compared to other destinations in Asia.

Best Time to Visit Nepal
The dry season in Nepal runs from November through to April but days and especially nights are very cold during this time. If you’d like to wander the streets of historical Kathmandu, go on a game drive in Chitwan National Park and hike the panoramic Annapurna Foothills in pleasant temperatures with relatively little rain and lower humidity then April is one of the best times to visit this small country before Nepal embraces the heat and rain.
