Overview

Engage with Local Communities: Experience the daily lives of the Newari people in the ancient cities of Kathmandu Valley, and the Tharu community in Chitwan. Our tour goes beyond sightseeing—immerse yourself in traditional ceremonies, cultural performances, and age-old customs that have been preserved for centuries. Our guides are not just experts in history and culture; they are passionate storytellers who bring the legends, myths, and historical events of Nepal to life. Their insights will deepen your understanding and appreciation of each site you visit. Comprehensive Coverage: From the vibrant streets of Kathmandu to the serene birthplace of Lord Buddha in Lumbini, and from the wildlife-rich jungles of Chitwan to the picturesque landscapes of Pokhara, our itinerary is a perfect blend of history, spirituality, nature, and adventure.
