WHY THIS TRIP This is a great itinerary where you can visit in a lot of Nepal’s sights and take part in thrilling activities. The best part of this itinerary is that you can cut off or add days to spend, If you want to spend an extra day somewhere, that means you will be spending 1 day less somewhere else according to your taste. For example, one day less looking at heritage sites means you can utilize the day in kayaking, trekking or relaxing.
Trip Notes •We reserve the right to change and that the program may be reversed. Things can happen that make it impossible to meet them as planned. If any meeting or plan would not be feasible, we always try to find an equivalent alternative. In Nepal, you always have a plan B and C!
