Enter Tengboche through a pine forest and make your way to Dingboche. Get spectacular views of Ama Dablam from here and cross the Lobhuche River.

Despite being a small country, Nepal has a wide diversity of flora and fauna that you can discover in Chitwan and Bardiya. Starting in Kathmandu, you'll explore UNESCO World Heritage sites, such as Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, Swayambhunath, and Kathmandu Durbar Square. Then, you'll fly to Chitwan, where you can enjoy wildlife activities like a boat safari and a jeep safari at the national park. You can spot the Sarus crane, Grey-headed fish eagle, Bengal Tiger, and One-Horned Rhinoceros here. Another attraction here is the local Tharu cultural program, where you get to interact with the local indigenous ethnic group. You will continue onwards to Bardiya National Park, where you'll go on multiple jeep safaris and river safaris to observe swamp deer, rhinos, black buck, and crocodiles. You also learn about how elephants and crocodiles are bred. The tour concludes in Kathmandu with a cultural dinner. Describe your ideal 10-day holiday for a customized trip to Nepal.

Although not as popular as Annapurna Base Camp and Poon Hill treks, the Mardi Himal trek can stand on its own, not least because it falls in the Annapurna region. The trail is fairly easy, and the sights are spellbinding, although accommodation and other facilities along the route are mostly threadbare. Opt for a tour during your 10 days in Nepal if the mountains beckon you, even though high-altitude hiking is not your forte. Drive to Pokhara from Kathmandu. Spend some time admiring this lake city with amazing spots to visit, like Sarangkot, Peace Pagoda, and Devi's Fall. Then, continue to Deurali. Wander through forests of oak and maple to reach Low Camp. Mount Machhapuchhre, Mardi Himal, and Annapurna unravel in front of you on reaching High Camp and follow you all the way to Upper View Point, the final destination of this journey.

Discover a little-known region in Nepal in 10 days. To the north of Kathmandu is the remote yet beautiful Langtang region, famous among travelers for its scenic trails, quaint villages, and snowy cliffs, all of which you will get to savor during this adventure. Hike uphill to reach Syabrubesi and cross the mighty Bhote Koshi to reach Lama Hotel. Explore the foothills of Langtang Lirung. Along the way, you will be stopping at Thangsyap and Chamki villages for meals. As you make your way to Kyanjin Gompa, you will pass many religious stone mani walls with Buddhist prayers on them. Then, you will go through a difficult patch to get to Tserko Ri, but the views of the Himalayas are definitely worth the trek. Bid farewell to the mountains on the seventh day and follow your route back to the capital. See all treks to Langtang.
