About the Trip
Nepal is a country often overlooked, usually by those who aren’t seeking a bit of adventure and thrill. While it has long been celebrated for its breathtaking Everest views, rivers perfect for rafting, and skies made for paragliding, there’s far more to it than that. Beyond these outdoor thrills lie its cultural treasures, from the Pashupatinath Temple and the Boudhanath Stupa to the ancient Durbar Square of Kathmandu and the Peace Pagoda in Pokhara.
When in Nepal, travelers often find themselves choosing between adventure and culture, but really, why not both?
Highlights
- Witness Kathmandu’s heritage at Durbar Squares and its ancient stupas
- Stand in awe at the Himalayan panorama from Sarangkot at sunrise
- Explore Pokhara’s serene lakes, caves, and temples
- Immerse in Chitwan’s wildlife with safaris, canoe rides, and birdwatching
- Experience cultural encounters, from Tharu dances to temple rituals
