Trip Overview

With its ancient culture and the Himalayas as a backdrop, Nepal has long been the destination of choice for travellers in search of adventure.

Land-locked between the high plateaus of Tibet to the north and the hot, fertile plains of India to the south, Nepal is a land of ancient history, colourful cultures and people, amazing architecture and stunning scenery.

Amazing trekking and some of the world's best white water are not all Nepal has to offer. This tiny Himalayan country is bursting with fascinating old towns, magnificent temples, stunning villages, ancient traditions, ethnic diversity, religious significance, and a history stretching back thousands of years.

Those who wish to explore the history and culture of this amazing country are spoilt for choice: ancient and modern intermingled, and every corner turned offers a glimpse into a world barely changed since the Middle Ages. The Kathmandu Valley itself is home to seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites, easily visited as a day tour package.
