This incredible journey offers a perfect blend of high-altitude trekking and lowland jungle exploration, showcasing the diverse beauty and culture of Nepal.

Your adventure begins in the bustling city of Kathmandu, where you’ll have a chance to soak up the local culture and prepare for the challenges ahead. As you fly to Lukla, the excitement builds as you catch your first glimpse of the majestic Himalayas. From here, you’ll start the Everest Base Camp Trek, a 12-day journey through the heart of the Khumbu region.

Everest Base Camp Trek is through the Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and is surrounded by breathtaking landscapes of snow-capped peaks, glaciers, and rugged valleys. You will pass through quaint Sherpa settlements, where you’ll be warmly welcomed by the locals and can learn about their rich heritage and traditions. As you ascend through forests of rhododendron and pine, keep an eye out for wildlife such as musk deer, Himalayan Thar, and even the elusive snow leopard. The trek culminates in the ultimate destination: Everest Base Camp, standing at 5,364 meters (17,598 feet), where you’ll feel the spirit of adventure as you stand in the shadow of the world’s highest peak.

After conquering the Everest Base Camp, it’s time to descend and let your legs rest before you head to the completely different environment of Chitwan National Park. Here, you’ll be immersed in the lush, tropical jungle that is home to an astounding array of wildlife. Take a guided safari on the back of an elephant or in a jeep to spot the elusive Royal Bengal Tiger, one-horned rhinos, and a vast array of other creatures including deer, monkeys, and exotic birds.

Experience the thrill of a dugout canoe ride along the Rapti River, where you may encounter crocodiles basking in the sun or catch a glimpse of the playful Gharial crocodile, with its long, narrow snout. Don’t miss the jungle walk with an experienced naturalist, where you’ll learn about the flora and fauna and maybe even spot some wildlife up close and personal. You can also opt for a cultural tour to nearby Tharu village to learn about the indigenous Tharu people’s way of life, including their traditional dances and delicious cuisine.

Rest up in a cozy jungle lodge, lulled to sleep by the symphony of the jungle night, and rise to the sound of birds greeting the dawn. Engage in bird-watching sessions to spot some of the 543 species that call Chitwan home. You can even participate in an exciting elephant bathing experience, where you’ll get wet and wild with these gentle giants in the river.
