Overview
Experience varied Landscapes from High Himalayas to Low Lands” in Nepal and with the diversity of the landscape you will also experience how the cultural background of the people living there differs.
Nepal is guarded by the mighty Himalayas in the north, gradually descending to the Gangetic plains towards south and offer striking beauty. The variation in topography comes with the richness in flora and fauna. The hills surrounding Kathmandu valley and Pokhara valley offers a superb mountain views with beautiful verdant hills and traditional Newari or thakali villages. Despite the city’s urban life being just a drive away, the villages remain untouched by modernity and have retained their old world charm, covered by terraced farms, verdant forests and shrines dedicated to Hindu & Buddhist deities. Or drive to the plains of the terai to Chitwan National Park which is famous for both nature and culture and will leave you with a totally different impression from Kathmandu Valley with its wide range of wildlife.
