Detailed Trip Description

Visit the fascinating places of Nepal's vivid past, Kathmandu Bhaktapur and Bandipur Mountain Village. Marvel at the fifty hand-carved wooden windows in Bhaktapur. You will see magnificent temples within Kathmandu Durbar square. Moving on into the beauty and scenic splendor of Pokhara, your next adventure awaits you high atop the mountains surrounding this beautiful Nepalese city. As the hustle and bustle of Nepal’s cities fade away you can trek with your companions into the past of Nepal. Travel on well-worn paths which have been trod on for centuries. Marvel at the “mane”, rock piles denoting direction as a sign post for trekkers, which appear along your path. Small stupas, or shrines, built to commemorate a person’s life, will be found alongside the countryside lanes, as well as colorful prayer flags fluttering in the breeze, helping to ease a loved-ones path to heaven.
