This exciting adventure combines a leisurely-paced trek with the fun of a jungle safari in one of Asia’s premier wildlife reserves. We trek in the beautiful Annapurnas and enjoy great mountain scenery with plenty of time to meet the locals. Our trek begins a short drive away from Pokhara at Naya Phul. The walking is at a relaxed pace and we reach our lodge every day in time for lunch, leaving the afternoon free to relax or experience the local village life. After the trek we explore the lakeside around Pokhara and then travel to Chitwan National Park to enjoy elephant back safaris, canoe trips and village walks. There is a variety of wildlife that inhabits the park including over 300 species of birds, deer, crocodile, rhino, leopard and just possibly tiger! We even have a chance to bathe with elephants. This journey showcases the stunning beauty and great diversity of Nepal.
