Tour Overview
Explore the temples, bazaars, foothills and jungle of the breathtaking mountain kingdom of Nepal. Your adventure begins in the twisting alleyways, colourful bazaars and charismatic Monkey Temple of Kathmandu. Flying to Pokhara, you'll then get your first glimpse of the snow-capped peaks of the mighty Himalaya from your lakeside resort at Begnas. Porters will carry your luggage (perhaps the kids too, for a price!) as you walk into the foothills. During the trek you'll gain a fascinating insight into the simple lives of the friendly Nepalese people. Parents and kids alike will love the contact with local villagers.
