About this trip
Nine days in Nepal that combines a handful of milder adventures rather than one long trek, so you get a taste of culture, water, jungle and hills without committing to serious mountain trekking.
You start with sightseeing around the Kathmandu Valley, taking in its temples and old-town history, then head out to the Trishuli River for a rafting run before moving on to Pokhara for some easier walking, including a gentle hike up to Australian Camp with Himalayan views.
The trip closes with a jungle safari in Chitwan, swapping mountains for wildlife and lowland forest, making this a good fit if you want variety over intensity.
What you'll do
- Sightseeing tour of the Kathmandu Valley's temples and heritage sites
