Nepal has captivated the imagination of adventurous travellers since it first opened its doors in the 1950’s.
This extraordinary country contains some of the most breathtakingly beautiful mountain scenery in the world, ranging from lush,
terraced farmland and rice paddies, sub-tropical forest and sweltering valleys to arid, windswept high altitude plains, remote
mountain passes and the summits of the highest peaks on earth. Home to cultures and religions that have shaped the philosophical
outlook of the
civilised world for thousands of years,
Nepal offers both a scenic revelation and an education all wrapped into one!
Fifty years of tourism has brought lots of changes and honey pot areas like Everest and Annapurna, wonderful as they are, do
tend to get crowded with trekkers. Fortunately there are equally beautiful parts of the country as yet unspoilt by the impact of
tourism where at a leisurely pace you will find Nepal as it’s always been.
Getting There
Most trips start with international flights to the capital, Kathmandu. We will generally stay here for a day or two
(relaxing, sightseeing, assembling equipment) before the onward journey by road or air into the mountains.
