Combine Adventure Tour

Ten days that piece together Nepal's greatest hits without committing to one type of trip: temples in Kathmandu, a rafting run on the Trisuli, an easy trek near Pokhara, and wildlife spotting in Chitwan.

You start in Kathmandu with time at its major UNESCO sites, then head overland toward Pokhara with a stop for whitewater rafting on the way. From the lakeside city you walk up to Australian Camp for mountain views, before finishing with a couple of days in Chitwan National Park.

It suits you if you want a broad, sample-everything introduction to Nepal — culture, a bit of adrenaline, some walking, and jungle wildlife — rather than a deep dive into any one of them.

What you'll do

• Visit Pashupatinath Temple, Swoyambunath, Boudhanath Stupa and Kathmandu Durbar Square
