Overview

The Royal Trek

Journey with us along ancient footpaths through beautiful forest and dramatic terraced hillsides south of Kathmandu. This particular pathway was used by the Rana kings of the 17th century on their way to India. The landscape here is breathtaking! Our trek winds through small villages and isolated homesteads with opportunities to share milk-tea with local villagers and to learn their traditional lifestyles. Our porters carry all the gear - all you carry is a light daypack and your camera. In addition to this unique, culturally-based trek we spend three days in the lush Chitwan Jungle in southern Nepal. Riding on trained elephants through the dense foliage is a great way to spot wildlife! For two days in Kathmandu, you will learn much from our knowledgeable local guide about the colorful religious and historic events that have created the kingdom of Nepal. This unique itinerary of off-the-beaten-path trekking, jungle hiking and city exploration is ideal for those whose time to Nepal is limited.
