Highlights of Nepal

This trip offered me the opportunity to visit a destination like Nepal with ease and serenity: above all, I did not have to worry about transport from one place to another. The quality and comfort of the bus is excellent and having to spend many hours and many days in the bus, this is a very important aspect. Thanks to the local guide, it is possible to learn about the local culture and customs and experience them first hand.

Everest Monasteries trek and Wildlife 12 Days
Combine two of Nepal’s most iconic experiences—trekking in the Everest region and wildlife adventures in Chitwan—on this immersive 12-day tour. Perfect for travelers seeking both mountain majesty and lowland jungles, this journey offers a unique blend of cultural exploration and natural discovery.
Your adventure begins with a spectacular mountain flight to Lukla, the gateway to the Everest region. From there, trek through the scenic Khumbu Valley, stopping at traditional Sherpa villages like Phakding and Namche Bazaar before reaching Tengboche Monastery, one of the oldest and most revered monasteries in the Himalayas. Enjoy breathtaking Himalayan panoramas and, if the weather is clear, catch stunning views of Mount Everest. This trek is ideal for those with limited time who still want to experience the essence of the Everest region and the warm hospitality of the Sherpa people.
After returning to Kathmandu, your journey continues south with a scenic drive to Chitwan National Park, Nepal’s premier wildlife sanctuary. Spend two nights immersed in jungle activities—elephant safaris, canoe rides, bird watching, and nature walks—led by experienced naturalists.
Chitwan National Park spans 932 square kilometers and is home to an extraordinary diversity of wildlife, including the rare one-horned rhinoceros, Bengal tiger, sloth bear, wild elephants, leopards, striped hyenas, and even freshwater dolphins. With over 500 species of birds and rich reptile, butterfly, and aquatic life, your chances of wildlife sightings are high.
Conclude your adventure with a drive back to Kathmandu along the scenic Trishuli River valley.
This thoughtfully designed itinerary offers the perfect balance of Himalayan culture and tropical wilderness—two sides of Nepal in one unforgettable journey.

Walking the Annapurna Foothills

Our guide, Sudarshan kc, was the best guide I've had on any Explore trip I've done (4, so far). He was really knowledgeable, gentle, warm, funny, & friendly, he looked after our group fantastically. Nothing was too much trouble, his recurrent phrase was 'anything is possible'. The tour itself was brilliant & flowed really well, despite the longer road journeys due to the landslides that had occurred a few wks before. In fact, I'd go as far to say those journeys were actually quite an adventure in themselves! For me, it was a perfect trip, the 4 days trekking were amazing, challenging at times, but worth the effort to see the stunning views of the mountains. The teahouses were simple but really welcoming, & in fab locations for views. Pokhara was a beautiful place for a bit of a rest, the calm lake, great shopping, & places to eat. Chitwan was outstanding, especially with the rhino sightings, & close encounters!
I was lucky to have a great group of people to travel with too, which made the trip a lot of fun.
Kathmandu is exactly what you'd expect, a city full of life, bustling traffic & historic sights. People are very warm & friendly.
I'd recommend this trip wholeheartedly.
I wanted to stay longer, & shed tears when I left. Many thanks.

The itinerary is very well thought out with lots to see and do. Everyday had a highlight and the Nepalese are so friendly and inviting. The views of the Himalayas in Nagarkot and Pokhara were stunning. The hotels were in excellent locations throughout. There are walks for those who want to and options for those who don't. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone, regardless of physical ability. Our tour leader, Su, was excellent and worked tirelessly to ensure our safety, enjoyment and general happiness. He is the best leader I have had out of some 27 tours. This is Explore's strong point - they know how to pick and train tour leaders and Su was the best of the best.
