Sabbaticals & Experiential Holidays in Nepal
Nepal should be on everyone’s bucket list. With breathtaking natural scenery, a strong cultural identity and some of the friendliest people on earth, travel here is an adventure you’ll never forget. Most come for the trekking: the soaring Himalayan peaks and glacial lakes of the Annapurna Circuit, and the unforgettable 11-14-day trek to Everest Base Camp. Eight of the world’s tallest mountains are in Nepal. Have you got what it takes to climb one? The religious and spiritual worlds are a huge pull too, with golden stupas and sacred shrines including Pashupatinath and the 5thC Swayambhunath, which flutters with colourful prayer flags. There are 3 UNESCO-listed royal cities – Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur – all medieval backstreets and glittering ornamental buildings. And at the other end of the scale, remote and simple mountain villages; a homestay here will change your whole perspective on life. Adventure lovers can white-water raft down snow-fed rivers; wildlife enthusiasts can spot Bengal tiger and one-horned rhino in Chitwan National Park. There’s something for everyone, and a massive amount of that something, whatever you’re into! And that’s the reason people return here time and again.
