We begin our travels in the hustle and bustle of colourful Kathmandu before taking a spectacular flight alongside the Himalayan range to the lakeside town of Pokhara. After exploring the area and taking a trip to Sarangkot to view the sunrise over the Annapurna mountains, we continue with an exciting safari at Royal Chitwan National Park in southern Nepal, where we ride on elephant back in search of rhino and tiger. The second leg of our family adventure takes us to the remote Kingdom of Bhutan. Here, in the Land of the Peaceful Dragon, we experience the unique Bhutanese culture and enjoy sightseeing in the Paro Valley and visit the capital, Thimphu, and Taktsang Monastery - the famous Tiger's Nest.
