Nepal, a country in the clouds
Nepal is the only country in the world where mystical jungles, mighty rivers, and the majestic Himalayas — eight of the ten highest peaks in the world — converge with the religious and cultural intertwining of Hinduism and Buddhism, India and Tibet.
Experience hiking, paragliding and rafting at the top of the world
The adventure begins in Kathmandu where you’ll be swept off your feet by the city’s bright colors, aromas, ancient temples, and bustling marketplaces. After some urban exploration, you and your group will leave the behind hustle and bustle of the capital and embark on a 7-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek, a hike that many consider to be one of the world’s most beautiful. Some of the highlights will include rafting and paragliding opportunities as you climb to base camps at Mount Machapuchare — Fish Tail Mountain, so named for its double peak — and Annapurna South.
On average there are about 5–6 hours of slow-paced walking per day — this is best for acclimation and to avoid altitude sickness. For guests who want to walk unencumbered by their backpacks, your guides can hire local porters.
Hiking will just be part of your adventures in Nepal
During downtime, you’ll have plenty of opportunity for shopping and immersing yourself in Nepalese culture. Kathmandu is loaded with stores where you can buy just about anything: khukuri knives, exotic spices, Tibetan mandalas and thangkas, top-notch hiking and climbing gear, clothes and shoes. Your tour will take you to Swayambhunath (monkeys!), Pashupatinath (the most important Hindu temple in Nepal where they burn the dead), Devi Kumari (Living Goddess) Temple, Durbar Square, Bodhnath, which is the largest stupa in Nepal and much, much more. Your tour will bring you to visit children in an orphanage and, like every trip so far, bring them loads of gifts. Your guides will take care of the gifts, your job is to hand them over to the kids and put a smile on their faces. For more details, be sure to look at the itinerary below.
