Family Luxury Adventure Travel in Nepal

Nepal is best known for its trekking! You can trek in a group, or with your own private porters, and stay in real comfort, even in the remoteness of the mountains.

In addition, you will find incredible white water rafting to add to your active adventure in Nepal!

Nepal is a diverse country and this is reflected in its cuisine which is a big part of a Nepalese trip!

Dal Bhat is the national food! This is made up of lentils and rice accompanied by a variety of condiments. Momos are delicious dumplings stuffed with vegetables, lamb or chicken, while Wo is a delicious lentil pancake popular in the Kathmandu valley.

Come for the trekking but don’t miss the wildlife! Nepal is home to a wonderful variety of animal life. Among the mammals found here are Bengal Tigers, rhinos, elephants, gaurs, white water buffaloes and birds, birds and more birds! Chitwan National Park is regarded as one of the best tiger habitats left in the world.

They say variety is the spice of life and Nepali food has both variety and spice! The staple meal in Nepal is dal bhat, which literally translates to “lentils and rice”; however, it is so much more than that. Dal bhat is a large meal consisting of white rice (bhat), lentil soup (daal), curried vegetables (tarkari), and spiced chutney (acchaar).

Nepal also has specialty dishes that serve as filling snacks. One of the most popular dishes is momos. A momo is like a dumpling. It can be filled with buffalo meat, chicken meat, or a variety of vegetables and is served with a spicy dipping sauce. Nepali people primarily eat momos on special occasions and enjoy making them together as a family.

No! Nepal offers fantastic value for money and all the essentials of travel – accommodations, transport, food, guides – are affordable and usually at a very high standard. Kathmandu is probably the trekking capital of the world and there is no hiking or activity gear you can’t find there!
