Discover natural wonders, culture, wildlife and the art of bees
With more than enough time to combine the highlights of Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan National Park, this trip combines culture and history with some of the country’s most magnificent mountain views, including Mount Everest, the Annapurna mountain range, and the majestic Fishtail Mountain. In addition to witnessing the incredible honey hunters of Nepal gathering their prize from the steep mountain cliffs, you may also have the opportunity to see the endangered Asiatic one horned rhino, or the elusive Bengal tiger.
Your journey begins in Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital city, dating back over 2,000 years. Explore Bhaktapur, known as the ‘Living Heritage’, a royal city dotted with palaces, temples, colourful pagodas and religious shrines. Boasting a rich, cultural heritage local potters with their drying pots and open kilns adorn squares, artisans weave cloth and carve timber in roadside homes and locals gather in communal courtyards.
Continue to Pokhara and enjoy scenic hikes and witness the extraordinary honey hunters who gather honey from wild bee colonies. Incredibly brave tribesmen risk their lives harvesting the sweet honeycomb from steep cliffs in this ancient tradition.
Venture to the wildlife sanctuary of Chitwan National Park and arm yourself with a camera and binoculars on an exhilarating experience – spotting, tracking and viewing on a jeep or walking safari. Luck may be on your side in finding the rare Bengal tiger and the iconic Asiatic rhino.
End off your itinerary in Patan City, known as Lalitpur and the ‘The Beautiful City’, once home to kings who resided in luxurious palaces in Durbar Square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Peruse the excellent collection of Buddhist and Hindu art in the Patan Museum and stroll through bustling bazaars colourful with Nepali culture. An incredible adventure awaits you here.
