Nepal is possibly the most diverse country on the planet, both in terms of biodiversity and human cultures. Learning about and visiting Nepal’s colourful history and diverse cultural groups is fascinating and fun, with elements such as traditional dancing, song and music, artwork and craft techniques, different foods and languages to try out, unique ethnic dress styles and of course the opportunity to head into the mountains or the plains to stay in a village or a series of villages in the stunning Himalayan scenery.

Nepal is home to some of the world’s most stunning and intricate architecture. The design of the ancient cities of the Kathmandu Valley was intricately planned and you can still see a god on almost every corner! Did you know that the pagoda style of architecture, so famous in Asia actually originated with the Newar people of the Kathmandu Valley?

Kathmandu alone is home to 7 UNESCO World Heritage Sites! You can combine learning about Nepal’s incredible cultural heritage and amazing architectural wealth with the fun of rickshaw rides between sites making way for holy cows or cycling between terraced rice fields to get to your destination.

Learn how these are often intertwined in a way that is fascinating culturally and a great example to the world of religious tolerance and synergy. For example, trek in Far Western Nepal to a vibrant annual festival celebrated together by the Hindu, Buddhist and Shaman peoples of this fascinating and stunning area. This is truly getting to know Nepal!

Kathmandu is well known as an important spiritual centre in both the Hindu and Buddhist worlds, so there are many monasteries and centres of learning in and around the Kathmandu valley.

Some of our guests find their visit to Nepal such an amazing experience that they want to give back, not only money, but their valuable time as well! For example, our guests ordered us “never let me go on a spa holiday again!” and she is coming back to Nepal on her holidays with a friend to volunteer in a local school. As another example, some children we know work with their school to raise money each year for a school in Nepal. In this way they are volunteering their time and energy to raise funds for a ‘sister-school’ in a Nepali village. This is a major contribution for kids to put in and they will be richly rewarded by the connection with school children across the world and by their amazing awareness of the majority world that they will derive from this experience! We are humbled and honoured to be a part of these kids drive to help out in Nepal!


Combine any experience with rafting, trekking, cycling, mountain biking, mountain flights, yoga, world class massage/spa treatments, paragliding, bungy jumping, jungle safari, overland travel or even simply the fun of a classic rickshaw ride through Kathmandu or bullock cart ride in the sultry plains for a truly memorable holiday that only Nepal can provide!
