Everest Region
The Khumbu is the theatre of the Himalaya — a landscape of blue-ice glaciers, monastery bells and the impossible north face of Ama Dablam. Our Everest journeys pair classic trekking days with heated lodges, private porters and unhurried acclimatisation so that altitude never rushes the view.

- Butter-lamp ceremony at Tengboche Monastery
- Namche Bazaar's Saturday market
- Scenic mountain flight into Lukla

Annapurna
Annapurna compresses all of Nepal into a single trail: subtropical valleys, Gurung hill villages, alpine pasture and the wind-scoured Thorong La. It is the most varied trek in the country and the friendliest introduction to Himalayan walking.
- Crossing the 5,416 m Thorong La pass
- Sunrise from Poon Hill over Dhaulagiri
- Natural hot springs at Tatopani
- Gurung hospitality in Ghandruk
- Altitude
- 822 m

Pokhara
Pokhara is where the Himalaya come down to the water. Mornings begin with mirror-still Phewa Lake, afternoons drift between boutique lakeside cafés and paragliding launches at Sarangkot, and evenings end with the Annapurnas turning rose above the rooftops.
- Dawn boat to Tal Barahi temple
- Tandem paragliding from Sarangkot
- World Peace Pagoda hike
- Cave and waterfall circuit
- Altitude
- 150 m
- Best season

Chitwan
A UNESCO World Heritage site of sal forest, elephant grass and slow brown rivers. Chitwan delivers one-horned rhino at close range, gharial crocodiles on the sandbanks, and — for the patient — Bengal tiger tracks pressed into morning mud.
- Dawn jeep safari in the core zone
- Canoe drift on the Rapti River
- Tharu cultural stick dance
- Elephant breeding centre visit
- Altitude

Lumbini
Lumbini is quiet in the way only sacred places are. The Maya Devi temple marks the exact birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama; around it, an immense monastic garden holds temples built by nations from Thailand to Germany, linked by still water channels.
- Maya Devi Temple and marker stone
- Ashoka Pillar from 249 BCE
- International Monastic Zone by bicycle
- Eternal Peace Flame
- Altitude

Mustang
Beyond the Annapurnas the rain stops and Mustang begins — an arid, wind-carved plateau that stayed a forbidden kingdom until 1992. Sky caves pock the cliffs, monasteries hold 15th-century murals, and the walled capital of Lo Manthang still looks exactly as it did five centuries ago.
- Walled city of Lo Manthang
- Chhoser sky caves
- Restricted-area permit access
- Kali Gandaki gorge, the world's deepest
- Altitude
- 2,990 m
- Best season

Rara Lake
Rara sits inside a national park of blue pine and juniper in Nepal's remote far west. You may share the shoreline with nobody but a herd of Himalayan musk deer. It is the country's most beautiful lake and its best-kept secret.

- Traditional Karnali villages
- Altitude
- 1,030 m
- Best season
- All year
- Duration

Bandipur
Bandipur is a living museum of Newari architecture perched on a ridge halfway between Kathmandu and Pokhara. Its main street is closed to traffic, its shuttered wooden façades unchanged for two centuries, and its terrace cafés look straight at the Annapurnas.
- Car-free heritage bazaar
- Tundikhel viewpoint at sunrise
- Siddha Gufa, Nepal's largest cave
- Newari heritage guesthouses
