Step into a world where timeless traditions, sacred landscapes, and warm hospitality come together to craft an unforgettable journey through Classic Nepal. Your adventure begins with a graceful arrival in Kathmandu, the vibrant heart of the Himalayas, where ancient palaces, hidden courtyards, and centuries-old stupas whisper tales of dynasties and devotion. Over the following days, immerse yourself in the city's soul: wander through the grandeur of Durbar Square, feel the spiritual pull at Swoyambhunath and Bouddhanath, and witness sacred rituals along the banks of the Bagmati at Pashupatinath Temple. Cultural immersion deepens with an inspiring cooking class at Seven Women, a social enterprise championing empowerment and change. Continue to the artistic haven of Patan, where intricate carvings and timeless artistry unfold, before ascending to the serene heights of Nagarkot, where the snow-capped Himalayas reveal their majesty at dawn. From these misty hilltops, descend into the lush, untamed wilderness of Chitwan National Park, where days are filled with jeep safaris, canoe rides, and nature walks amid some of Asia’s most remarkable wildlife. The journey flows onward to Pokhara, a sanctuary of natural beauty, where tranquil lakes mirror the peaks above and hidden caves and waterfalls await discovery. Witness breathtaking sunrises and reflective sunsets before a scenic flight whisks you back to Kathmandu, where your final moments allow time for reflection, shopping, or simple quietude.
