Nepal: Annapurna Trek & Seti River Excursion
Few trips to Nepal encompass the whole of this rich and spiritual country. Designed to take in temples and snowcapped peaks, mountain villages, and tranquil rivers, this journey embraces Nepalese culture and landscape in all its intricacies. This trip begins and ends in Kathmandu, whose countless shrines and statues create an undeniably mystical atmosphere. The itinerary moves west into the foothills of the Himalayas, the spectacular Annapurnas, and along the ancient trading route to and from Tibet. You overnight in tranquil mountain lodges, rising to walks that pass through villages virtually unchanged for centuries. On the pristine Seti River, you picnic on sandy beaches, walk to remote villages, and relax at a riverside camp.
An optional four-day post-tour extension to the Royal Chitwan National Park, once the hunting ground for British and Nepalese aristocrats, offers time for relaxation combined with nature walks, canoe rides, and elephant back game-viewing.
"Seeing the world one step at a time puts you in direct contact with the people and culture. You have a greater appreciation of the world around you and are deeply touched by those you come in contact with."
