Fly past Mount Everest
if you don’t fancy trekking

Want to experience the majestic might of Mt. Everest but don’t fancy one of the most challenging treks in the world? Here’s the answer. Yes, you can fly over the Himalayas, soaking up views of 29,000 feet Everest, as your pilot tells you all about the spiritual significance of each Himalayan peak. You'll never forget panoramas like these.
Admire temples of Kathmandu

Kathmandu and its surrounding valley are home to a gobsmacking amount of sacred temples. From the magnificent architecture of Pashupatinath to the world-famous Tibetan Buddhist site of Bodhnath Stupa, temple-hoppers and culture-vultures will be in heaven in this valley.
Go paragliding in Pokhara

The best views of Nepal are, of course, from way up high in the sky, which is why paragliding is such a popular pastime here. Pokhara is one of the best paragliding locations in the world, where you can soar over the valley, its lake and forestlands in tandem with a skilled pilot. It’s affordable, too.
Enjoy a jungle safari in Chitwan National Park

In the lowlands of central Nepal you’ll find Chitwan National Park, a biodiverse haven for rare animals such as the Bengal tiger and the one-horned rhino. Take a jungle safari and you can spot these majestic beasts alongside elephants, thousands of brilliantly bright birds, crocs and deer.
Immerse into the local culture with a Panauti Homestay

A Panauti Homestay is the perfect way to experience the warm hospitality of the Nepalese people, where you can meet local families, uncover their traditions and enjoy some of the delicious local food.
Visit the birthplace of Buddha

Buddha was famously born in the beautiful gardens of Lumbini, which is now a site of a grand pilgrimage site. A pillar on the site bears an inscription dating from 249 BC, testifying it as a holy place of Buddha’s birth. The archeological remains on the cliff remain a vital part of the pilgrimage centre.
