Rafting down the Trishuli River , known for its impressive gorges and its rapids, both large and small, sure to satisfy any thirst for adventure!
Sleeping in a monastery . Sechen or Kopan on the outskirts of Kathmandu, Pema Ts’al in Pokhara, so many places of spiritual life that are also places of welcome for pilgrims or travelers. Immersion in monastic life, discovery of the life of the monks, teachings and other times of your sharing punctuate this very special stay.
Participate in the preparation of a meal in a family , for an immersion in everyday life: with the hostess, you learn the ancestral gestures that govern the preparation of some simple everyday dishes. The tasting that follows is all the more delicious!
Stroll through the Thamel district , a maze of alleys lined with shops, restaurants and trekking agencies. From the hippie years, Thamel has kept its joyful and relaxed atmosphere. Don’t miss out on tasting momos, steamed dumplings made with vegetables or meat, an essential Himalayan speciality. A treat.
Superb mountain landscapes, isolated villages, rhododendrons in bloom, the route is idyllic. The highlight is the climb to Poon Hill, in the gold of the setting sun or the soft hues of dawn: before you, the Dhaulagiri and Tukuche ranges, and the immense Annapurna barrier.
Stay with locals and participate in a beautiful ecotourism and participatory development project , because the profits go entirely to the families. In many villages, from Nagarkot to Panauti, but also in more remote regions of the country, women come together in an association, set up one or two lodgings to accommodate travelers, then receive you according to the rules of the art.
Treat yourself to a safari, by jeep, on foot or by boat, in one of Nepal’s great national parks . Of course, there is Chitwan, ideally located between Pokhara and Kathmandu, but also Bardia, closer to the Indian border. The jungles and grasslands of the vast plains of the Terai are home to many endangered species, including Asian pachyderms: elephants and one-horned rhinoceroses.
Taste Nepalese teas, with unique flavors due to the richness of the Himalayan soils . At Jun Chiyabari, the tea is not only good, it is also organic and that is why we do not fail to encourage you to participate in a tasting in the small cooperative of Patan.
Marvel at the millions of oil lamps lighting up Kathmandu during Tihar , or rejoice during Losar, the Tibetan New Year full of dance and music, or participate in the Dashain rituals with family: in Nepal, Buddhism and Hinduism coexist and the variety of festivals reflects the diversity of beliefs.
Enjoy the benefits of a wellness stay facing the most majestic landscapes . In Dhulikhel, Nagarkot or Jomsom in Mustang, pamper yourself in fabulous spa hotels, between yoga sessions, Ayurvedic massages and walks on mountain trails. Why not as an extension after a week of trekking or visits, or for your honeymoon?
