The Magical Kingdom of Nepal
A year ago this month Nepal resumed its visa-on-arrival service and has not looked back since.
Thousands of visitors have enjoyed its stunning mountain vistas, shimmering lakes, lush forests with incredible wildlife, remote mountain villages hidden, dizzying rice terraces and the extraordinary art, culture and architecture of its ancient UNESCO-listed, near-mythical ancient cities and incredible wildlife.
Whether you seek to relax beneath the soaring mountains in the Roof of the World, enjoy an exhilarating trek of the snow-covered mountains or explore its natural beauty and wildlife, we have the ideal tour for you.

The best time to Visit Nepal
October and November are the best months to visit Nepal when the air is crisp and clear, and the country is lush and green following the monsoon. February to April is also a good time when the weather is warming up and many flowers are in bloom. Some haze does set in by April obscuring the mountain views. The weather is clear but chilly in December and January. May and early June are the warmest months, and the monsoon is prevalent from the middle of June to September. At 4000 meters, the Kathmandu Valley is relatively temperate. Chitwan in the Terai region is warm and can get quite hot by April.
Nepal's climate follows a monsoonal two-season pattern. The dry months last from October to May with the monsoons from June to September. The latter months also tend to be very hot and humid with temperatures in some parts of the country often rising above 35ºC.
Why not combine India with Nepal
Exploiting a clever combination of short-haul flights and overnight trains, this tour manages to pack most of North India and Nepal’s big-hitting sights into a tour lasting a little over a fortnight. You’ll see the Taj Mahal and the Pink City of Jaipur in Rajasthan, watch the sunrise over the Ganges at Varanasi and explore the Mughal monuments and bazaars of Old Delhi.
A quick hop by plane to Kathmandu puts you into position for a round of Nepal’s principal attractions, ranging from the UNESCO World Heritage sites of the capital itself to Chitwan National Park on the southern grasslands and spectacular views of the Himalayas from Pokhara Lake.
Which Experiences will you Pick
Kathmandu
Kathmandu is the beating heart of Nepal and the centre of its history, art, and culture. A thriving city of over a million people, it can both overwhelm and intrigue in equal measure. Known as the ‘City of Temples’ because of its vast numbe…
Kathmandu Valley: Patan & Bhaktapur
Separated from Kathmandu by the Bagmati River, Patan (also called Lalitpur or Manigal) is the Kathmandu Valley’s second largest town, boasting an even greater concentration of religious monuments than the capital. Most of them are grouped i…
Bandipur

Everest Flights
Undoubtedly the easiest and quickest route to the world’s highest mountain summits is by flying to them. At the crack of dawn each morning during the tourist season, a fleet of small, 16-seater aircraft depart Kathmandu’s airport for a scen…
Bardia National Park
Bardia National Park Bound by the Karnali River and the Churia range of the Siwalik Hills in south-western Nepal, parts of the 374-sq-mile (968-sq-km) Bardia National Park were originally a royal hunting reserve. Today it’s the largest and…
Walking & Trekking in Nepal

The Annapurna Region
The mighty Annapurna Himal, nearly 25 miles (40km) across and with nine massive peaks, virtually bisects the vast 2,945-sq-mile (7,629-sq-km) Annapurna Conservation Area (ACA) which has long been home to some of the country’s most popular t…
Paragliding in Nepal
In recent years, Pokhara has emerged as Nepal’s paragliding centre. Today it is reputedly one of the world’s top five tandem locations for the sport. The easy charms of Phewa Lake and generally reliable, stable thermals anchored to jaw-drop…
Sandwiched between the Gangetic plains and Tibetan plateau, encompassing an extraordinary spectrum of landscapes, ranging from the terai grasslands and sal forests of its southern border with India to the vast wall of ice peaks marching along the Chinese frontier to the north – the legendary Himalaya, or ‘Abode of Snows’. Between these two extremes is cradled a lush, fertile valley that has been a centre of sophisticated urban civilization for more than 2,500 years, and where an unparalleled wealth of medieval palaces, Buddhist monasteries and Hindu temples survive intact, along with the traditional religious cultures that gave rise to them.
To walk through the Durbar Squares of the Kathmandu Valley, flanked by their distinctive skyline of tiered pagodas and golden-spired, whitewashed stupas, is to experience a world as unique as it is exotic to foreign eyes. Until the 1950s, Nepal lay resolutely off-limits to outsiders. Only a handful of honoured dignitaries and mountaineers could set eyes on its ancient treasures, ensuring these most refined mountain societies thrived in glorious isolation.
Much of the country’s heritage endures making any journey an enticing prospect. The architecture is irresistibly exotic, the many varied cultures of its people compelling, and the Himalayas, whether glimpsed from the comfort of a palace hotel window or through the flap of a tent on a trek, are quite simply breathtaking.
