Trip Summary

This unique tour of Nepal, covering Kathmandu, Pokhara, a trek in the Annapurna Region and the Royal Chitwan National Park has been put together.

If you have always had the desire to visit Nepal but thought the treks were too long and hard then this is the trip for you. The aim is to help you break out of the daily routine and do something exciting, new, interesting or challenging.

After exploring Kathmandu, you will drive to Pokhara, which is situated on the beautiful Fewa Lake and surrounded by the magnificent Annapurna Ranges with the awesome Fishtail Mountain as its backdrop. Pokhara is part of a once vibrant trade route extending between India and Tibet . It is also the starting point of all treks in the Annapurna ranges.

Your trek boasts fantastic mountain views of most of the Annapurna range. It is a spectacular short trek and traverses a variety of terrains from low land villages and rice terraces up to Nepal's largest Ghurkha village at 3,000meters.

After trekking for 6 days you head back to Pokhara for before departing by tourist bus for your 3 day wildlife safari in the Royal Chitwan National Park. This is certainly a reward staying in the heart of the Chitwan Jungle where the spirit of the great explorer-adventurers lives on. From atop an elephant, you can search for the elusive Royal Bengal Tiger and the endangered great one-horned rhino, which roams the jungle together with leopards, sloth bears, bison and many more wildlife species. Hidden deep in the swamps are rare crocodiles and freshwater dolphins, which can be spotted when we journey down the River Rapti by traditional dugout canoe. Meanwhile back at the "Gol Ghar" Round House you can relate your day's adventures in front of the campfire and be entertained by spectacular dancing from the people of the local Taru villages.

At the end of your stay at Chitwan you will return to Kathmandu where you will be treated  with a scenic Everest flight and free time to do that last minute shopping before and your  flight home.
