Taste of Nepal tour starts with visiting the cultural towns of Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur for a couple of days. Next there is a visit to Nagarkot, where you can enjoy the views of magnificent Himalayan vistas. From there we will take you to a peaceful Pokhara, with its glorious views and a beautiful lakeside. Chitwan National Park, with its reach flora and fauna, is also a place you will get to enjoy. From the colorful sights of Kathmandu, a peaceful Nagarkot, stunningly beautiful Pokhara to the view of the extraordinary beauty of Himalayan peaks, this trip gives you the perfect ‘taste’ of Nepal.

We recommend it to the short time visitors, who do not necessarily wish to trek. During the Taste of Nepal tour, you will be able to explore a little bit of everything that Nepal has to offer: the natural environment, vibrant cultures and history, wildlife safari and of course, the majestic Himalayas.

Nepal is home to network of trails also called the Great Himalaya Trails, an extensive trail system that covers Nepal from Humla and Darchula in the west to Kanchenjunga in the east. The diversity of trekking in Nepal cannot be found in any other region of the world. In fact, the lowest point in Nepal is 59 m above sea-level in the Terai region while the highest point is Everest, 8,848 m above sea-level, the two points are, in a straight line, only 200 kilometres apart.

The majority of visitors to Nepal come in via the Tribuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. It is in Kathmandu that trekkers need to acquire their permits and other documentation, either from a trekking agent or from the appropriate offices. These documents will be checked along the trekking route. For those with little time to spend in Nepal there are half-day hikes from Kathmandu to witness breathtaking Himalayan views otherwise trek for weeks over stunning challenging mountain passes.
