A multi-activity experience in the Kathmandu valley that highlights hiking and deep cultural immersion. A sort of a 'best of Kathmandu valley' tour. Great as an introduction to Nepal. All activities are at the soft end of adventure travel.
Excellent for small groups, couples and families, this trip showcases Kathmandu in a very offbeat light and at the same time showcases the rich culture and soft adventure this place offers.
The days are mixed with expereinces in traditional food, rich culture, energetic hiking and ends with a relaxing touch!
We start with immersion into the Nepali architecture and food and then move on to what Nepal is famous for, hiking and trekking. Once we experience this, we move on to more local connect, before winding it out with a farewell dinner.
Full of highlights and memorable experiences.
