Nepal adventure holidays
More than just a trekking mecca!
The allure of this fascinating mountain kingdom in the heart of the Himalayas has never diminished since the early mountaineering expeditions and its days as a Sixties hippy centre through to the recent troubled times during the Maoist uprisings and today’s more peaceful situation. The sheer pull of the world’s highest mountain combined with stunning glacial scenery, an intrinsic Buddhist culture, the complete lack of roads through the majority of the country forcing people out on foot and into the heart of the communities, a surprising amount of wildlife, plenty of adrenalin-activities such as white-water rafting and downhill mountain biking plus the buzz of the chaotic yet exotic capital Kathmandu has created one of the world’s most popular destinations for travellers of any age or budget.
Although trekking is the main attraction, there are a number of other activities and options widely available that will enable you to appreciate the incredible wonders of this Himalayan kingdom. Also more importantly their variety will allow you to enjoy Nepal at all times of the year when it has been traditionally considered to be very much a seasonal destination controlled by the monsoon rains which fall in the months of July and August.
