All the best of Nepal in one week
Comfortable hotels, a great driver and guides at every stop. The sunrise at Sarangkot and the safari in Chitwan were our favourite moments.

Discover four UNESCO World Heritage monuments of the Kathmandu Valley in one day with a licensed local guide and a private car. Climb to the hilltop stupa of Swayambhunath, wander through the palaces and temples of Patan Durbar Square, watch the rituals by the holy Bagmati river at Pashupatinath, and end the day walking around the great stupa of Boudhanath as the butter lamps are lit.
