Trip Overview

As the name depicts, Culture Blends Adventure Tour is a heavenly combination of culture and adventure! Check out the natural bliss with an authentic culture of Nepal. You will be awed by the art, culture and history of Nepal as you explore the UNESCO listed heritage sites in Kathmandu. The grandness of the royal family in the medieval period; the durbar square and its amazing glory reflects how keen the Malla kings were towards art and culture. The artistic beauty demonstrated in the woodcrafts and metalcrafts will leave you wondering how innovative the hands of the artists were! The metal works and wood works manifested in the pillars, windows, interiors and designs of the palaces and temples are beyond any imagination.

Kathmandu city is a city of gods and goddesses. And during the Culture Blends Adventure Tour, you will encounter a temple at every single corner and narrow streets of Kathmandu. The chaotic streets will make you panic but soon you will get adapted and learn how people live by. The museum in the durbar square preserves the ancient glories of Nepal. You will get a chance to explore ancient thrones, king’s dresses, wardrobes, royal crown, old pictures and many more. The Swayambhunath stupa and Boudhanath stupa are excellent. The white dome with a golden spire gives the stupa an outstanding look. As you visit these places, you will get acquainted with the Buddhist culture. Last on the cultural list is Pashupatinath temple which is a holy spot for Hindu Pilgrims. The old temples and their excellent placement makes this place a special heritage to visit.

Moving on to the natural exploration, the lush hills, valleys, rivers and mountains, Mother Nature couldn’t have been this ecstatic. As you enter the Shivapuri National Park, you will feel the quietness in the pristine environment. The moment you open up to the mountains, it will be the best journey you embarked for! The white towering pinnacles of the mountains forming a series, nothing could have been more awesome. Walking along the dense forests can be an opportunity to spot any wildlife in between. The glorious sunrise view from the view tower in Nagarkot will make you believe that nothing can be compared to the wild appeal of snow clad mountains.

Savour the incomparable beauty of nature in Chisapani, Nagarkot and Dhulikhel with a classic blend of culture in UNESCO listed heritage sites of Kathmandu! Culture blend Adventure tour is here to make your journey memorable.

Bogdan Ilie, USA My wife and I were lucky to have chosen Nepal Hiking Team to plan our trip. We opted for a private guide and had a porter as well. We waited at the airport, and we were dropped off there as well when we left Nepal. Our guide, Ram, made sure that our trip was organized flawlessly and that we were doing well and happy at all times. He chose the best available teahouses, and we were allowed to chose the food from the menu in all of them (there seem to be agencies that say you can either choose dal bhat or pay out of pocket). We were even served, during dinner, sliced apples carried by the porter. Ram was very knowledgeable, and he shared information related to mountain peaks, vegetation, and animals. As we saw, his English skills are excellent. Above all, he is friendly and has a positive attitude, so we enjoyed talking and interacting with him. The porter, Bhola, was also very friendly. He looked like he was 50 kg but carried 55-65 kg easily. Overall, it was a fantastic once-in-a-lifetime experience to which Ram, Bhola, and Nepal Hiking Team contributed substantially. One of the owners, Ganga, even offered free rides to do the PCR tests or other purposes. We couldn't have hoped for better treatment from this agency.

Lucie H, UK In May this year - some friends and I joined the NHT For 16 days. Every fine detail was considered, with our guides and porters going above & beyond to ensure we were comfortable and happy. Their knowledge and experience created a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us all. I have no hesitation in recommending Nepal Hiking Team to anyone! They made this experience perfect, thank you, guys.

Mike, USA I went with my girlfriend to the Everest Base Camp with a guide and porter from Nepal Hiking Team. Right from the pick-up from the airport, we felt like valued clients, and we were made to feel very welcome and relaxed in an otherwise hectic city. From the moment the trek started, our guide Bheg ensured we were comfortable and constantly checked on our physical state throughout each day and provided advice and assistance where we needed it. Overall, the experience was one I'll never forget, primarily because I proposed at the top and because the Nepal Hiking team made the experience as stress-free and as organized as possible, all with a smile on their face at all times. I highly recommend NHT.

Megan Y., China Ganga, Balaram, and the team were fantastic; even when we had a 24-hour flight delay, they re-scheduled everything without fuss or fee. We had an excellent driver for just us (and guide where we had them). We even changed things along the way, and whether the driver, guide, or agent, they were more than willing to help and be flexible. :) The trip took in some hiking, some sightseeing, some relaxing, the jungle, and for each occasion and location, we were provided a specialist guide for the event/location. The hotels they chose for us were precisely our requirements based on the activity we were experiencing on any given day. Balaram even met us many times in person to round off the experience and ensure all was well and take honest feedback in person - the personal touch makes you feel even more appreciated and welcome as a customer. We would recommend anyone contact the team if they are planning a trip to Nepal. Thank you, guys, for a memorable vacation.

Jonathan, USA The team NHT provided the best possible service. They were attentive in every aspect in the months leading up to the trek through emails and were responsive and thorough in addressing my questions and concerns. During our tour, Bheg (our guide) and our porter were there to take care of our (myself and one other trekker) needs and always smile and graciously. I have used other more expensive and well-known trekking teams in the Himalayas in the past and would rank NHT on an equal or higher plain. Bheg has many years of experience, as did our porter, and was very competent in their roles and Bheg in his knowledge of the area and the trek. Though our porter did not speak very much, Bheg was kind enough to translate when asked, and our porter was equally attentive in assisting Bheg and us to ensure a successful trek. Very competitive price and an excellent team and experience. I highly recommend them.
