Nepal has a lot to offer through nature, culture, spirituality, history, art, architecture, and wildlife. We have immersed all these experiences to create this special 10-day tour to experience Nepal.

Beginning with a Kathmandu Valley Tour, this tour ends with a jungle experience in the famous Chitwan National Park. In between, you'll do a short day of hiking, view a sunrise view from the Himalayas, and visit Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha.

From the historical and vintage UNESCO Sites in the Valley to the breathtaking Panoramic point, from the tranquil birthplace of Buddha to the lush abode of the Bengal Tiger, from the valley of Kathmandu to the plain lands of Lumbini, and from the busy hustle of Kathmandu to serene Maya Devi Temple in Lumbini, this is an exciting tour to do in Nepal for any travel buff.

On this trip, you are dipped in Nepal's nature, culture, history, art, people, spirituality, and more.
