Nepal is a wondrous crossroads of religions, cultures, and geography. Hinduism holds sway throughout the country’s south while Buddhism flows across the northern border from the Tibetan Plateau. Both great faiths uniquely fuse with ancient animist beliefs and shaman rituals. Our tours of Nepal introduce the scenery and trekking among the world’s highest mountains, the endangered tigers and rhinos hidden in the jungle lowlands, and the famously big-hearted people of this vibrant country.
With mountain biking, river rafting, helicopter flights—that lend views of some of the earth's tallest peaks—and bucket-list worthy hikes, Nepal’s active adventures abound. Explore its iconic and lesser-known landscapes alongside expert guides who handle the gear and logistics so you can dive into the adventure.
From the medieval and modern treasures of the Kathmandu Valley, an area so rich in history and architecture that the entire valley has earned the status of World Heritage Site, to the possibility of spotting Bengal tigers, one-horned rhinos, leopards, and wild elephants in a national park, Nepal’s cultural and natural wonders rival its epic scenery.
A journey in Nepal is an invitation to experience Tibetan, Sherpa, and Nepali traditions. Delve into the world of Tibetan Buddhism at off-the-beaten-path monasteries, experience the warmth of vibrant Sherpa culture in the birthplace of trekking, and taste the flavors of Nepali fare. Insider opportunities include meditating with monks, meeting artisans and royalty, guided yoga, and singing bowl therapy sessions.
