A trip that showcases Nepal&39s rich cultural heritage and natural splendor

This trip gives you an opportunity to explore temples and shrines of historical and archaeological interests in the medieval towns of Kathmandu valley - sights that will take you back almost 300 years in time, where feudalism ruled the day until a single man called Prithvi Narayan Shah thought differently and unified a whole nation.

Added to this will be a white water rafting at the Trishuli River and an exotic wildlife adventure at the Chitwan National park. You will get to see the massive one horned rhino, light-footed deer, an elephant breeding centre and the Royal Bengal tiger. After this trip in the wild, you will drive to Pokhara through a lush, green highway. Snowy mountains glisten in the horizon, in the course of your drive. You will pass through little hamlets and villages on the way that will give you some deep insights into Nepal&39s rural lifestyles. Finally you reach Pokhara, a beautiful scenic lake town where nature is amplified with the views of majestic peaks almost at touching distance, clean water lakes with boating and canoeing thrills at your service. Here you will also see some natural wonders of nature in waterfalls and gorges and at dusk, when the sun dips behind the mountains, glimpses of twilight lighten up the skies that herald the end of day. A memorable trip that stays with you for a lifetime!

Lhasa-Everest Base Camp to Kathmandu

An opportunity to visit the base camp of Everest [5200m] with highland experience across the Tibetan Plateau...

True to its nickname, "the Roof of the world", Tibet is the highest plateau in the world with an average altitude in excess of 3500 meters. Lying to the north of the great Himalayan range which separates it from its neighbors, India, Nepal and Bhutan, Tibet is more or less an untamed land of nomads (drokpas), monasteries, yaks, sand dunes, and high altitude desert that goes as far as the eyes can take it.

On this Tibet overland tour you have three days (i.e. 4 nights) in Lhasa to acclimatize and to absorb the exoticism of Tibetan heritage and to explore this history-laden city to its core. You will be expertly guided around the most significant and ancient Gompas (monasteries) of Lhasa, Gyantse & Shigatse by your Tibetan guide, who will instruct you on the intricacies and mysticism of Tibetan Buddhism. With its spectacular mountain scenery and rich Buddhist culture, Tibet would certainly be a unique mystical destination to visit.

You drive down Friendship highway by a luxury Toyota land cruiser 4 WD passing through small Tibetan settlements where you get upfront views right from your vehicle of nomadic herdsmen wandering across the wide arid plains amidst a backdrop of awe-inspiring mountain peaks.

A special highlight of this trip is the visit to the Everest base camp where you will be rewarded with panoramic and breath-taking views of Mount Everest from the north side.

This overland tour will be a mystical delight that will be remembered by the fireside for many winters to come.
