Luxury Nepal Tours
Nepal is the land of mountains and monasteries. This landlocked country has the perfect fusion of nature and culture. Picturesque Himalayan range in the North, roaring rivers making their way through the hills to the plains, lush green paddy fields and quaint little villages everywhere, its scenic beauty will leave lasting image on your mind. Nepal definitely is the ultimate destination for those who prefer to stay closer to nature and immerse themselves in various cultures. From rugged trails to scenic views, from rafting on swollen rivers to sighting wild animals in their natural habitat, it offers a rush of adrenaline for every nature-loving adventure seeker on its diverse array of landscapes. Dotted by medieval city squares, temples and monasteries, the capital city Kathmandu enjoys a rich tapestry of cultures blending to form a national identity. The Kathmandu Valley has several UNESCO World Heritage Sites and serves as the country’s cultural metropolis since the unification of Nepal in the 18th Century.
People of Nepal are known for their hospitality, friendliness, and warm nature. Always welcoming to their guests, Nepalese people consider guests as a god, so be ready to be treated with uttermost respect and kindness in every place you travel.
Regions
The capital city Kathmandu is the beating heart of the country and the epicentre of art, culture and history. Home to over a million people, it is a spiritual destination nicknamed the ‘City of Temples’ due to its numerous pagodas, stupas, and temples. The iconic Durbar Square, surrounded by the palaces of the Malla and Shah rulers, is the city’s historic heart.
Beautiful Pokhara is a tranquil lakeside town providing a little oasis of calm around 123 miles from the capital. Walk along the glassy waters of Phewa Tal Lake with its colourful paddleboats and admire the breath-taking views of the Annapurna mountain range including the lofty Machapuchare (‘Fish Tail’). One more sight here is the Shanti Stupa (Peace Pagoda)
Many Nepalis refer to Bhaktapur as Bhadgaon (pronounced bud-gown) or Khwopa, which means ‘City of Devotees in Newari’ because of the three big squares filled with imposing temples housing some of the country’s finest religious architecture. Bhaktapur is one of three mediaeval city-states in the UNESCO World Heritage Site Kathmandu Valley.
Nagarkot is one of the most photographic places in Nepal, where you can see the splendour of the Himalayas from the comfort of your hotel balcony. You can see eight mountains; Annapurna, Everest, Ganesh Himal, Jugal, Langtang, Manaslu, Rolwaling and Numbur.
Chitwan - the Heart of the Jungle - has been a favourite hunting destination for Nepal’s ruling class since the end of the nineteenth century and was designated a World Heritage Site in 1984. The Royal Bengal Tiger & the Asian one-horned rhinoceros are two iconic animals that you could be lucky enough to see apart from Antelopes, Clouded Leopards & Crocodiles.
The charming town of Bandipur is one of central Nepal’s hidden gems and a living museum of Newari culture. Although the town has developed as a destination, time has almost stood still, with its main traditional rows of houses and 18th-century architecture. Temples and municipal structures have been dragged back from the brink of ruin.
With eight of the world’s highest mountains in the country, Nepal is a mountaineer’s paradise. Eight of the world’s highest peaks lie within Nepal’s territory: Everest, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu and Annapurna, which are all over 8,000m above sea level. The Himalaya region occupies about 15 percent of total land area.
