Himalayan Discovery
Mountains and jungles of Nepal
Join us in Nepal, a fascinating destination for a family adventure. We discover the heart of this historic country, visiting bazaars, sacred ghats (steps leading down to the waterway) and mountain temples. When teahouse trekking in the Annapurna, we experience outstanding views of some of the world’s highest peaks. In the jungle of Chitwan National Park we ride elephants and look out for one- horned rhinos. We also enjoy the thrill of whitewater rafting.
