Private Tour for David Moffat and Friend
10 days/9 nights in Nepal
Bespoke Adventure Tour for 2 People
Welcome to Kathmandu, a city of chaotic charm! With a dizzying array of ancient temples and Holy Sadhus, vibrant markets and rickshaws, Kathmandu is a kaleidoscope of senses that will capture the imagination of any traveler!
You will have the afternoon free to explore the hidden back alleys and bustling markets! In the evening we will have dinner at a local restaurant.
We drive west, following the gorge of the Trisuli River. Continue past deep river valleys and terraced rice fields as we make our way to the lakeside town of Pokhara. Set amongst the foothills of the stunning Annapurna Massif, Pokhara is a breath of fresh air.
Spectacular mountain views of some of the world’s highest and iconic mountains – including Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Machapuchare (Fish Tail Mountain).
Read more about the Poon Hill trek.
Just a 30 minute drive from Pokhara, we have a perfect 1 ½ hours of non-stop adrenaline filled class 3-4 rapids along with views of the mighty Annapurna mountains, crystal clear Himalayan whitewater and verdant valleys.
The perfect half day river journey! And afterwards…
The day is yours, free to discover, experience and explore this wonderfully laid back town. Hire a boat and relax on the calm waters of Phewa Tal, ramble up to the World Peace Pagoda or treat yourself to a fresh lassi (traditional yoghourt based drink) at one of Pokhara’s many restaurants.
Fly amongst eagles as you paraglide high above Pokhara. With the majestic Annapurna’s as your backdrop, this is one of the best places to paraglide in the world!
After lunch we’ll drive to the jungles of Chitwan.
Relax in an authentic, luxurious resort, deep in the heart of Chitwan’s jungle. We’ll track wild animals on foot, by traditional canoe and also by jeep. If you’re not afraid of things that go bump in the night one of our experienced jungle guides will take you out for a hike by the moonlight.
