Sandwiched between India and Tibet, Nepal is an incredible country of contrasts. There are bustling bazaars and hushed hilltop monasteries; subtropical jungles and snow-capped peaks; tangles of city-centre alleyways and acres of open space.
Classic Nepal introduces you to the country’s highlights, from capital city Kathmandu to the wildlife-rich Chitwan National Park (look out for tigers and one-horned Asian rhinos), via the ‘gateway to the Himalayas’, Pokhara. Beautiful monuments, shrines, temples and stupas give you the chance to learn more about Nepal’s culture and heritage – expert guides add an extra dimension as they talk you through local customs and traditions.
Nepal’s a wonderful place to explore on its own, but if you’d like to stay a little longer, it can easily be combined with India’s Golden Triangle of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Take a look at both itineraries below and find out more about these exciting new Nepalese adventures…
