Meticulously curated, guided walking holiday itineraries that delve into the culture, wildlife, cuisine, and rich history of the world.
Overview
Nepal is a small country. By area it is about half the size of the UK. Yet in that small area it packs as much splendour and variety in as any country in the world. From the highest mountain range and 8 of the 10 highest peaks to lowland jungle plains, covering a huge array of climatic and ecological zones, it is astonishing what can be seen of the natural world in Nepal. And then there is the cultural dimension. This is country where cultural and religious tradition are enmeshed in everyday life. The Nepalis are proud of their traditions and will be delighted to educate visitors in local ways. Our Himalayan Vistas holiday allows anyone to get a flavour of everything the country has to offer.
You fly into Kathmandu and drive up to Bhaktapur, the quiet and relaxing former capital city. Astonishing restoration following on from the 2015 earthquake has almost returned the city to its former glories. You spend a day walking around the city and another in the hills above for hopefully our first views of the Himalayas.
Next we head down to the lowlands and Chitwan National Park. Home to rhino, leopard, crocs and a huge array of bird life it a superb place to see wildlife, whether from a jeep, on foot or from a canoe. You continue to Pokhara for a day of guided sightseeing, walking, a relaxed boat trip across Fewa lake and enjoying a momo making class in a local Tibetan Camp. There is also a free day to relax, explore further or catch up on shopping.
Heading east you arrive in the village of Bandipur where great views of the Annapurna range can be enjoyed. From the hotel it is a very short walk to the best viewpoint in the village. Make sure you are there at dawn to enjoy the best views. This is impressive in itself but we assure you, the views will only improve. You will walk to the surrounding countryside, hopefully enjoying mountain views to the north along the way. Because there is so little light pollution in Nepal the view of the night sky is often magnificent.
Finally you return to Kathmandu. The time in Kathmandu will be spent sightseeing with a local guide, discovering the various pockets which make this one of the most fascinating cities in Asia. Unsurprisingly, this is a great place to shop from camping gear, fleece jackets, Tibetan hats or books; everything can be found and haggled over.
As the trip comes to an end, you'll enjoy a final dinner in Thamel, the centre of tourist Kathmandu and full of life before boarding the plane with a bag full of experiences and memories. The world certainly is more beautiful on foot!

Itinerary & Travel
Whilst every effort will be made to adhere to the outlined itinerary and advertised programme, local conditions can change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. This may mean that routes and timings need to be amended or the order of days may change, sometimes at short notice.
Meals
We depart the UK on an overnight flight to Kathmandu.
Meals
Accommodation
On arrival in Kathmandu we transfer about 1 hr to Bhaktapur in the Kathmandu valley. Bhaktapur is one of the three cities that dominate the Kathmandu Valley. However, unlike Kathmandu, Bhaktapur preserves a peaceful air quite unlike its larger neighbour. It is lovely place to explore on foot with everything being easily accessible. After some time to freshen up in the hotel we can walk out to see the sites. We will visit Bhaktapur's Durbar Square with our Nepali guide. The square is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is regarded as the centre of traditional Nepali culture and customs. It is an ideal place to experience the unique arts of wood carving and pottery. Look out for Nyatapola Temple, the statue of King Bhupatindra Malla, the Peacock Window and the Golden Gate. We will have an included restaurant lunch in Bhaktapur.
Meals
Accommodation
Today we start the walking in earnest. After breakfast we drive to Nagarkot and have a quick look around the town. There is an Everest viewpoint in town, but it is rare for the climatic conditions to allow you to see the mountain from here. We will set out on our walk down to Nala and drive back to Bhaktapur. We should get back in time for you to have another look around the city if you would like to.
Meals
Accommodation
After breakfast we depart Bhaktapur and drive south west to reach Chitwan National Park, located on the Terai plains and away from the mountains. Today's drive is approximately 120 miles and can take between 5 - 6 hours depending on traffic. We will make plenty of stops along the way for photo stops and to stretch the legs. One stop will be in Kurintar. Kurintar is a small village located on the sandy banks of the Trishuli river. We will visit the famous Beer Garden and explore before continuing our drive to Chitwan. On arrival hopefully we will be welcomed by the owner of the lodge who has some great stories to tell about the history of the Lodge. As today is a transfer day walking is limited although we will have time to stretch our legs during stops. There should also be time to stroll the village on arrival at the hotel.
Meals
Accommodation
We have plenty of time in Chitwan National Park so the pace will be leisurely. We can look forward to some outstanding wildlife encounters. We will embark on a jeep safari which offers the finest (and safest) chance of observing rhino in the wild. Fear not, sightings are common. Leopard have been spotted on occasion and there are tigers in the park. It is common to come across tiger prints, but tourists very rarely see tigers. Wild boar, various species of antelope and crocodiles are commonly seen. You will also enjoy a canoe trip along the river which is the perfect way to observe Nepal's varied bird life. This has proved to be a thoroughly enjoyable day. By the nature of the day walking will be limited.

Ascent
Pokhara is a pleasant lakeside city and is second-largest tourist hub in Nepal after Kathmandu. After breakfast we visit some of the touristic highlights surrounding the Pokhara Valley. First, Phewa Lake, we take a boat ride across the lake and hike an hour up to the World Peace Pagoda. After enjoying the view from here we will walk down to Raniban for lunch. Later we drive down to the Tibetan Refugee camp to immerse ourselves in the art of momo making and the best bit...tasting. Momos are a Tibetan delicacy available throughout Nepal, and are something akin to Italian ravioli (only bigger) and come with a huge variety of fillings, including vegetarian options. It would be a great shame to leave Nepal without tasting a variety of momos!
Meals
Accommodation
Today early we drive to Sarangkot to enjoy the most breathtaking sunrise. Sarangkot is a hill on the western side of Pokhara with an altitude of 1600m known for its panoramic mountain views of Dhaulagiri, Annapurna and Manaslu. This is the highest altitude we intend to reach on this holiday. It also provides an expansive view of the city of Pokhara, from the extreme north to the south including Phewa Lake. The rest of the day is free to rest and relax in the lakeside area. Later we enjoy group dinner at a restaurant in Pokhara.

After breakfast, we take a drive towards Bandipur which 50 miles to the east of Pokhara and takes 3 hours to drive. Bandipur is a small mountain town and it is one of the best hill stations in Nepal. It is famous for its antique cultural atmosphere and unique geographical formations. On a clear day, views north towards the Annapurna range are nothing short of spectacular. Fortunately the best view of the mountains can be enjoyed from the far side of the football pitch in front of our hotel. We should have time for an introductory stroll around the village. The cobbled main street in the village is a lovely place for a drink as the sun goes down.

Depending on the itinerary, local transport may involve a mix of private hire coaches, taxis, local buses, and ferries.

A general guideline for snacks and drinks is £5-£10 per person per day. This is a full board tour so no need to account for lunches.
Currency in Nepal
Nepalese Rupee.
It is probably most convenient to chnage money in the hotel on arrival in Kathmandu. The rates will not be the best but perhaps the convenience outweighs the cost. There is also a money-changing booth at the airport before immigration which offers reasonable rates. Money can also be changed on the first day's sightseeing.
Sterling cash is freely exchangeable, as are US dollars and euro. It is now becoming possible to change money whilst on the trek, please discuss with your RWH Travel leader. Change is in short supply in the mountains so bring rupees in small denomination notes from the cities. Many hotels accept credit cards, check locally. There are ATM machines in towns and cities.
Nepalese Rupees can only be purchased once in Nepal and the export of Nepalese currency is illegal. You should remember to keep all exchange receipts as if you have any rupees left over when you get to Kathmandu Airport, you can change back up to 15% of the total amount you have changed during the holiday.

The visa procedure has recently (August 2023) been updated. Please consult the above weblink for the latest details. For the address in Nepal please use the first hotel you stay in in Nepal.
Entry visas may be issued at the airport on arrival in Nepal, however this option involves excessive waiting, delaying yourself and fellow party members.

All meals are provided throughout the holiday starting with dinner on Day 2 and ending with breakfast on Day 14. Vegetarians are easily catered for in hotels and tea huts. In hotels breakfasts will be buffet style with plenty of choice. Dinners are commonly buffet as well with choices of meat and vegetable dishes to suit every taste.
In the mountains the food has a lot in common with Tibetan cuisine whilst in the foothills Indian influence is stronger. The staple of Nepali food is is dahl bhaat, a lentil stew served with rice. It is typically served up on a plate with green veg, relish and a meat dish (if required) possibly goat or buffalo but never beef. You will be offered it everywhere in large quantities. Momos will also appear on menus as starters, again in various flavours. Coffee is becoming common in Nepal with flat whites and the like available to those who feel they can't do without. Foreign wines are available at western prices but the local beers are generally good and reasonably priced. Perhaps they taste at their best after hiking up a mountain.
Footwear
Good quality waterproof walking shoes or trail shoes with a thick, moulded sole with a good tread and a low heel are likely to be all that is required for these holidays. If you are a frequent walker and are comfortable in good quality hiking sandals, these may be adequate for some walks. You can wear lightweight walking boots if you prefer.

We have included a bottle for everyone who books on this trip to avoid the use of single use plastic bottles. Normally these bottles will be handed out on arrival in country.
