A Kathmandu-Pokhara tour delves deeper into the humble Nepali people’s natural, historical, and cultural essence. Driving you through the stunning landscape with a backdrop of hills, mountains, and rivers, the following days will take you to the Himalayas’ lap and Pokhara’s immense natural beauty.

The Best of Nepal Tour is a 10-day journey that offers a diverse experience of Nepal’s rich natural beauty, cultural heritage, and adventure opportunities. Starting in Kathmandu, the trip takes you through the lush jungles of Chitwan National Park, where you can spot wildlife like rhinos and Bengal tigers. You then move on to the historic hilltop town of Bandipur, known for its preserved Newari culture and panoramic views of the Himalayas. The journey concludes in Pokhara, a city famous for its tranquil lakes, breathtaking mountain vistas, and opportunities for adventure activities. This trip provides a perfect blend of wildlife exploration, cultural immersion, and relaxation, showcasing some of Nepal’s most beautiful and culturally significant destinations.

The Tower Night Stay package at Chitwan National Park ( Chitwan Tower Night Stay ) is a four-day tour package meant for travelers who love nature. You will have a bundle of activities like jungle walks, jeep safaris, canoe rides, and bird watching with a nature walk. In addition, you will have an exceptional stay at a wooden tower at night, witnessing the peaceful environment and animals passing by. Next morning, a breakfast with chirping birds will be another refreshing activity at the tower with all the required amenities.

It is not just the tower that stays; the other jungle activities at Chitwan National Park are really intriguing. You can visit the elephant breeding center inside the national park premises or the crocodile breeding center nearby. Another attraction of excursing through Chitwan National Park is the unique lifestyle and culture of the Tharu people who reside in the region. An evening with a local dinner and cultural program will make you stay vibrant with the refreshing ambiance of the temperate forest.

Best of the West Nepal tour takes you through the rarest gems of Nepal on a 7-night and 8-day long trip. Starting with a flight/drive from Kathmandu Valley, covering the three major cities Chitwan, Lumbini, and Bardiya, you will come across some rarest gems of Western Nepal such as the Chitwan National Park, Bardiya National Park, and Lumbini i.e., the birthplace of Lord Buddha.

While in Chitwan, you will also get to encounter rare animals like one-horned rhinoceros, get a site of elephant bathing, enjoy elephant safari, and adore baby elephants at the breeding center. Stay at the ethnic homestays and an evening watching cultural dance with local cuisine at both Chitwan and Bardiya is another highlight of the Western tour.

Contrasting to this overwhelming exposure to the wild, the stay at Lumbini will be a completely different experience. The trip starts with paying homage at Mayadevi temple to wandering off in the garden while reading the inscription on Ashoka pillars. Finally, the trip will continue back to nature with sightseeing and jungle safari at Bardiya National Park.

The Beauty of Bhutan Tour takes you to a land nestled in the Eastern Himalayas, where centuries of self-imposed isolation have preserved its unique cultural and natural heritage. Bhutan gradually opened up to the world at a measured pace, allowing its people to live in harmony with nature while fostering a distinct identity rooted in deep religious and cultural traditions.

Home to just 700,000 people and roughly the size of Switzerland, Bhutan is the world’s only Mahayana Buddhist country. The Buddhist reverence for all sentient beings has played a vital role in safeguarding its pristine ecology and rich wildlife, making it a truly extraordinary destination.

This self-sufficient population was never colonized and had limited contact to the outside world. Buddhism was established in the 8th century by the Indian saint Padmasambhava, popularly known in the Tantric tradition as Guru Rinpoche. Perhaps the most dynamic era in Bhutanese history came in the 17th century with the arrival, in 1616, of Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, the great leader of the Drukpa school of Mahayana Buddhism. He unified the country and established the foundations for national governance and the Bhutanese identity.

In 1907, a historic Assembly of the clergy, the official administration, and the people unanimously elected Gongsar Ugyen Wangchuck as the first hereditary King of Bhutan thus beginning the glorious era of the Wangchuck dynasty. In 2006, the fourth king of Bhutan, Jigme Singye Wangchuck announced that he would abdicate in favor of a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary democracy. In 2008, the year that marked 100 years of the monarchy saw two important events; the first democratic elections and the coronation of the fifth king, Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck.
