Nepal

Where earth meets sky

Overview

The Himalayas as a living classroom. Trekking is only one reason to come — monasteries, meditation, and Kathmandu's medieval squares matter just as much.

Nepal is one of the world's great humbling places. Standing beneath Annapurna or looking across Pokhara to the ice giants changes something in you permanently. But Nepal is also Kathmandu's courtyards, the smell of juniper smoke from a monastery, a Newari feast in a candlelit farmhouse. We cover all of it — the high-altitude adventures and the cultural depth that most travellers miss entirely.

Highlights

Kathmandu Valley

Three ancient cities in one valley — Kathmandu, Patan, Bhaktapur. Medieval courtyards, woodcarved temples, and the Pashupatinath ghats where the sacred and the everyday coexist.

Annapurna Circuit

Not the full 21-day trek — a curated 7-day version hitting the highlights: Pokhara, Ghorepani, Poon Hill sunrise, and the Sanctuary with views of the glacier.

Everest Region

Fly to Lukla and trek to Namche Bazaar — the gateway to the Khumbu — without committing to Base Camp. The views from Tengboche Monastery alone justify the journey.

Chitwan National Park

Lowland Nepal: elephant-back wildlife safaris, canoeing through rhino territory, and birdwatching in one of Asia's most intact ecosystems.

Pokhara & Poon Hill

Lake-side tranquility, then a three-day trek to Poon Hill for the Annapurna sunrise — the most rewarding half-day walk in Nepal.

Chitwan

Dawn jeep safaris, canoeing on the Rapti River, and jungle walks with naturalist guides trained in Smithsonian wildlife monitoring methods.

Day 11–12
