A. Poon Hill Trek – 14 days
We begin our cultural journey in the hustle and bustle of colorful Kathmandu before taking a spectacular flight across the Himalayan range, passing Mount Everest, to the fabled city of Lhasa. Here we explore the Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Drepung Monastery and Sera Monastery, and take the time to shop for Tibetan artefacts or visit the Norbulingka Summer Palace.
We return to Kathmandu and then fly to the lakeside town of Pokhara from where we head into the foothills and enjoy a few days relaxing at our luxury lodge located in the shadow of the the Annapurna Range. Our journey continues with a superb safari at the Temple Tiger Jungle Lodge in the Chitwan National Park in southern Nepal, where we ride on elephant back in search of the elusive Royal Bengal Tiger and the One-Horned Rhinoceros.
The final leg of this incredible journey takes us to the remote Kingdom of Bhutan. In the ‘Land of the Peaceful Dragon’ we take time to experience the unique Bhutanese culture including the monasteries and markets of its capital Thimpu, the Paro valley, and the Taktsang monastery – the famous Tiger’s Nest
