Independent Adventures
Our Independent Adventures are designed for those who prefer to travel on a popular itinerary of ours with just their family or friends, rather than with other travellers. Your group of up to six people will have the services of a leader, and all the inclusions of a regular group tour, but you'll be travelling in your own small group!
An introduction to the best of Nepal. This short adventure encompasses the highlights of this fascinating country from its capital, Kathmandu, which is a major centre of Buddhism and Hinduism, to the majestic Himalaya, where we take a walk in the foothills of the Annapurnas and gaze in wonder at the snow-capped mountains. Chitwan National Park showcases the country's wildlife; a place to ride on the back of elephants and go in search of the great Indian rhino. In eight days we experience the diversity of Nepal and understand why visitors return to this incredible place time and again.
