What Makes Nepal So Special The epic scale of the Everest and Annapurna mountain ranges naturally make these the two most popular regions for trekking in Nepal – some of these routes, such as the Everest Base Camp Trek and the Annapurna Circuit, are regarded as being among the best walks in the world. Venture further afield into ‘Wild Nepal’ and you will find pristine mountain scenery, remote villages and a culture still relatively untouched by tourism.
Our tours in Nepal will always spend plenty of time in the fascinating city of Kathmandu and give you a genuine taste of traditional Nepalese culture. If you are lucky enough to visit during a Buddhist festival you will be a part of an unforgettable celebration, and we also include an exciting rafting trip down the Seti River and a game-viewing trip to the famous Chitwan National Park on our Nepal Tour.
Nepal is the most exciting of the Himalayan nations, with the highest mountains and most vibrant culture, and has rightly been a favourite destination for travellers for many years. It is now entering a new era of democracy but retains its friendly and chaotic charm, and there has never been a better time to take a holiday in Nepal. Trekking is still the biggest attraction for visitors to the country, but the bustling city life and rich cultural traditions provide plenty to keep you occupied away from the mountains. What many visitors think will be their one trip of a lifetime all too often turns into a long-term love affair with this wonderful country and its people. Whether you want to trek in Nepal or tour the highlights of the country, Mountain Kingdoms can put together the perfect holiday in Nepal for you – see our range of itineraries below, or call us to create a Tailor Made holiday to this beautiful and timeless country.
