Itinerary / Highlights

Days 1-2 Kathmandu - A hive of activity, Kathmandu is rich in cultural and artistic heritage. Climb to Swayambhunath for great views, join pilgrims at Bodnath Stupa and explore the colourful Thamel district.

Days 3-8 Helambu - Trek through a diverse landscape of rice terraces and deep green valleys, past picturesque monasteries and gompas. This is the land of the friendly Tamang and Sherpa people. Staying in their remote village teahouses gives us a special insight into their lives.

Days 9-10 Bhaktapur - Take a step back in time and stroll through the traffic free lanes beneath traditional Newari wooden homes or sit in one of the many squares and become part of the local life.

Days 11-12 Pokhara - Although the hippies have been replaced by trekkers, the incredible scenery and chilled-out atmosphere of Pokhara remain. Hire a boat and take a sunset paddle on the lake, kick back at one of the cafes or throw yourself into Pokhara's oldest tradition, shopping.

Day 13 Bandipur - Tucked away high on a ridge, this little-known trading village is protected by the goddess Durga. Mingle with the locals, dine on traditional food and enjoy awesome views of the Annapurna and Manaslu mountain ranges.

Days 14-15 Seti River - Raft through the jungle on a journey down the mighty Seti. Spend the evening camped out on white sandy beaches.

Days 16-18 Chitwan National Park - Seek out rhino, deer and monkeys on a guided safari through the park and keep an eye out for wild Nepalese chickens! Also enjoy an afternoon safari on elephant-back.

Days 19-20 Kathmandu - Get yourself out and about in Kathmandu's busy streets and explore more of this legendary city
