Marvel at the sacred Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site to experience profound spirituality in a majestic setting. Trek through the awe-inspiring Himalayas on prestigious trails like Everest Base Camp and Annapurna Circuit or smaller trails. Revel in the serene beauty of Pokhara’s lakeside retreat and savor exquisite Nepalese cuisine, including the delectable dal bhat and momos.

HAPPY HATHI TIP

Skip Chitwan and venture to Bardiya instead — it’s harder to reach, but rewards you with fewer crowds and far richer sightings. Walking through sal forests in the park’s core, tracking tigers, elephants, and even river dolphins on foot, is a rare thrill you won’t find elsewhere.
