Charismatic Nepal
Overview
Nepal
A land that is holding an Indian culture and its legacy for thousands of years!
A land that is blessed with picturesque mountain ranges of the Himalayas !
We constantly endeavor to craft some unique itineraries with each of our tours. So here we are, offering you another offbeat itinerary of Nepal.
Right from the sacred temple of Pashupatinath to the famous Darbar squares to Chitwan National Park and Lumbini; this tour offers the complete essence of the culture, history, and geography of Nepal.
Kathmandu Valley has been the political and cultural hub for millennia. It itself holds seven different World Heritage Sites. Religious heritage is not the only thing Nepal is crowned with. It also offers a colorful nature that is unique on its own. And that’s the reason Chitwan National park has been inscribed in the list of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites.
Lumbini on the other hand is the place where the great Gautam Buddha was born.
So, to sum up, it’s a package that offers not one or two sites belonging to World Heritage, but the entire tour is dedicated to the World Heritage. Experiencing these places with a mentor who has expertise over Indian heritage and who has also worked with UNESCO on a wide range of their projects is truly fascinating.
So what are you waiting for….pack your bags and fly to Nepal with us !!
