Itinerary & Departure Dates

Days 1 & 2 - Kathmandu. Rich with cultural and artistic heritage, Kathmandu is Nepal's largest city. Climb to the Monkey Temple for great views, join pilgrims at Bodhnath stupa and try to catch a glimpse of the living Goddess in Durbar Square.

Days 3 to 8 - Helambu trek. This area is home to the Tamangs and Sherpa; friendly and hospitable people with strong family and cultural ties. We trek through this land of diversity where steeply cut rice terraces and deep green valleys give way to sparsely populated forests of oak and rhododendron, all set against a distant horizon of mountain peaks.

Days 9 & 10 - Bhaktapur. Timeless, atmospheric Bhaktapur is a town of beautiful temples and palaces. Stroll the narrow lanes beneath traditional Newari wooden houses or sit in one of the many squares and become part of the local life

Days 11 & 12 - Pokhara. Nestled in the shadow of the Annapurna Range, the delightful lakeside town of Pokhara offers cafes, bazaars, temples and panoramic views from the top of nearby Sarangkot.

 Days 13 - Bandipur. High on a ridge is this little known trading village, featuring a heritage lodge, traditional food, friendly locals and stunning views of the Annapurna and Manaslu mountain ranges.

Days 14 &15 - Seti Rafting. Tighten up your lifejacket and hold on to your paddle as we hit world class rapids and thunder down the mighty Seti River.

Days 16, 17 & 18 - Chitwan National Park. Royal Chitwan National Park offers some of the best wildlife viewing in Asia. We walk through grasslands and forest, accompanied by expert local guides to see some of the park's many species.

Days 19 & 20 - Kathmandu. Back amid Kathmandu's busy streets, indulging in some last minute shopping is a must before our final night dinner together.
