We begin our journey in Kathmandu, in the bustling markets of Thamel, the timeless treasures of Patan, and the medieval charm of Bhaktapur await, offering a captivating glimpse into Nepal’s rich heritage and culinary delights.

Our journey culminates nestled amidst the rolling hills of the Kathmandu Valley, taking in the breathtaking views overlooking the former three kingdom valleys and rejuvenating in this serene forrest mountain setting. We complete our Himalayan journey with a Farewell dinner, weaving together the mystic mountains, culture and spirituality of India and Nepal into a tapestry of memories, before boarding your late evening international flight home or onward journey.
