Nepal Explore Tour

Experience the greatest adventure through the land of Nepal, which has a perfect blend of history and unspoiled geography. Start your adventure by exploring the historical cities of Kathmandu, which has been enlisted as a world heritage site dominated by centuries of palaces, sculptural temples, and ancient stupas like Swyambhunath and Boudhanath. Roam around the Kathmandu Durbar square, filled with many wooden carved pillars, stone carved writings, and metal statues on the side depicting the genius work of the Malla kings.

Take a tour of the sacred Pashupatinath temple, where pilgrims make offerings alongside Holy men and renovated temples; go on a tour at Lumbini, which is believed to be the birthplace of Lord Buddha, and visit the Mayadevi temple, as well as some of the monasteries.

Apart from the cultural expedition, the lure of wilderness calls out from the realm of Nepal. Visit Chitwan National Park and indulge yourself in a once-in-a-lifetime experience in a similar jungle Safari by an elephant or boat, enjoying the wildlife of one-horned rhino, tigers, monkeys, and many species of birds.

Experience the raw beauty of nature waking up by watching the sun rise over several lakes and green hills in Pokhara – all with the silhouette of the majestic Annapurna in the reflecting water. Go to Nagarkot to capture the sweeping view of Ganesh Himal, Dhaulagiri Himal, and even Mount Everest if weather permits. This is a striking view perfectly capturing the majestic beauty of the Himalayan mountain range.

Nepal does not only possess beautiful physical and anthropological treasures but also dramatic experiences—spiritual epiphanies within holy temples, thrilling dares with majestic animals in wild forests, and overwhelming views of massive mountains that change one’s outlook on life.

Whether it is the search for spiritual truth, the thrill of the wildlife experience, or just the solitude of Mother Nature’s bosom, Nepal holds out the promise of an inspiring journey that stays with one for life.
