What the Journey Includes
Kathmandu: Acclimatize & Cultural Mosaic
Begin in Kathmandu to settle into altitude and culture. Explore centuries-old temples, marvel at the architecture of Durbar Squares, taste local cuisine in hidden eateries, and allow the vibrant energy of Nepal’s capital to prepare you for adventure and tranquil landscapes ahead.
River journeys & awe-inspired mountain horizons
Pokhara: Lakeside Magic & Himalayan Reflections
Move on to Pokhara, where mountain panoramas meet placid waters. Wake before dawn to watch sunrise over the Annapurna peaks from Sarangkot. Drift across the glassy Fewa Lake, visit hidden caves and waterfalls, and unwind in a tranquil lodge surrounded by forested hills.
Trek & River: Into the Kali Gandaki Wilds
Your route then leads into the Kali Gandaki valley. Trek through lush hills and remote tea-house villages. Hike paths that wind beside riverbanks, through forests, waterfalls, and terraced farms. Following that, embark on river rafting along grade-appropriate rapids, where wilderness is your companion on every bend.
Wilderness Camps & Remote Shores
Some nights are spent camping in remote riverbanks, under wide sky, far from lights and crowds. Wake to river sounds, to crisp breeze, to Himalayan silhouettes. Days are for exploration—rafting, wildlife spotting, village visits—and nights for firelight meals, stories, and reflection.
Chitwan National Park: Jungle Contrasts & Wildlife
Conclude in Chitwan, where jungle drama contrasts sharply with mountain heights. Enter dense forests, paddle quiet waterways, spot rhinos, deer, and myriad birdlife. Let this vibrant ecosystem remind you how varied Nepal is—from ice peaks to steamy forests.
