Nepal Culture & Wildlife Trips

Wander between temples draped with prayer flags fluttering in the wind, explore ancient cobbled backstreets and soak up the spiritual atmosphere of Kathmandu.

Wander between cobbled streets and scattered temples in the atmospheric medieval cities of the Kathmandu Valley, feeling utterly lost in a timeless daydream. Combine the enchanting chaos of Kathmandu with nearby Bhaktapur and Patan and get straight to the heart of mystical valley culture.

Stay at home with the locals, lend a hand with village life and learn how to whip up traditional Nepalese dumplings in the kitchen. This is an authentic Nepalese experience, giving you a firsthand glimpse of Himalayan hospitality.

Set off on an adventure in search of the one-horned rhino. Glide along twisting rivers in a canoe at dawn, watching golden light flood the plains, and watch elephants gather at the shores in the early morning haze. The lush subtropical lowlands of Chitwan National Park are bursting with wildlife and adventure, so get your binoculars at the ready.

Get a taste of real Nepalese village life at Barauli Community Homestay, where you will stay in a charming traditional thatched-roof cottage. This innovative social enterprise connects travellers with rural communities across Nepal, providing not only accommodation but also a sustainable source of income for locals. While you’re here, you will get the chance to spot wild rhinos during a jeep safari within the national park.

Relax in peaceful Pokhara, where snowy peaks reflect in the calm waters of the Phewa Lake, prayer flags flutter and Buddhist chants seep from every doorway. It’s a laid-back place with a fairytale feeling, dozens of ramshackle, arty cafes and an endless list of adventures in store.

Experience authentic rural life near Kathmandu, away from the typical tourist hubs, by staying at the Nagarkot Community Homestay. Run by the local Bastola family, you will be supporting the local community and enjoying a more personal experience. It’s an opportunity to experience both the tranquillity of rural living and the stunning beauty of Nepal’s mountainous landscapes.

Do you want the chance to see Bengal Tigers in the wild? Time to head to Bardia National Park in Nepal’s far west. We have partnered with the local community homestay for this trip so you will experience not only incredible nature and wildlife, but also have the chance to give back, and immerse in the local culture.

This is a truly unique experience and opportunity to witness everyday life in a Tibetan monastery in Nepal. You’ll be staying in a guesthouse at the Neydo Monastery, nestled in the Kathmandu Valley.

Take a breather from the tourist trail in a sleepy mountain village flanked by snowy peaks. Trek between forested hills and rocky cliffs, meeting the friendly locals as you walk.

Take a spiritual overland trip to the birthplace of Buddha in Nepal. Pass small villages and stupas before crossing into frenetic India. Drive across remote countryside, watch daily life unfold from your window and wave to goodbye to your stint in beautiful Nepal.
