This option secures you a single room in all the hotels used on this tour. It also

covers the cost of a single room in all the trekking lodges if available (if the lodges

are full, then single rooms can not be guaranteed).

This option gives you a chance to tour the ancient cities of Patan and Bhaktapur during a free day in Kathmandu. Situated on the outskirts of Kathmandu these areas are full of character and you see plenty of temples, stupas and old wooden buildings as well as enjoying the bustling local life.

The tour lasts for a full day and includes private transport and the services of a professional local tour guide.

Leaving either Kathmandu or Pokhara on the second last day of the tour, this option adds a 3 day/3-night wildlife safari in the Royal Chitwan National Park to your tour.

Staying in one of our Standard level lodges (eg. Island Jungle Resort), we include a jeep safari, jungle walk, river-canoe trip, elephant ride, tour and a cultural program in one of Asia's most famous national parks. All park activities and entrance fees are included.

This option gives you more than 2 full days in Chitwan, giving you a better chance to see as much wildlife as possible and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere here, and will add 3 days to the overall length of your tour. The price includes your return journey by superior tourist coach to Kathmandu (approx. 6 hours) and one night there. A single room supplement will be added if required, and the Kathamandu-Chitwan, and Chitwan-Kathmandu journeys can be upgraded to internal flights if you prefer. 

For those wishing to take the rafting to a higher level, or those short of time, this 2 day rafting option takes you to one of Nepal’s steepest and most technical white water rivers. This grade IV-IV+ river is just 3 hours from Kathmandu, starting close to the Tibetan border, and makes an excellent adrenaline filled extension to your tour. The nights are spent camping on beaches on the banks of the river, so you will need a sleeping bag (available to hire in Kathmandu).

This option will add two days to the overall length of your tour.

Leaving Kathmandu on the last day of the tour, this option adds a 4 day/4-night wildlife safari in the Royal Bardia National Park to your tour.

Staying in one of our Economy level lodges (eg. Forest Hideaway), we include a jeep safari, jungle walk, river rafting trip, elephant ride, tour and a cultural program in one of Nepal's more remote national parks, where you have the best chance in the country of seeing tigers.

All park activities and entrance fees are included, as well as one night in a hotel in Kathmandu on your return from Bardia. 

This option gives you more than 2 full days in Bardia, so you can see as much wildlife as possible and enjoy the quiet & peaceful atmosphere here, and will add 4 days to the overall length of your tour.

The price does not include your return flights between Kathmandu & Nepalganj, which should be added on as an extra option. 

A single traveller supplement will be added if required.

This option provides the return flights between Kathmandu and Nepalganj (approx. 1 hour) which are required for our Bardia National Park extension option.

Your flights will be booked in advance, but should be paid for in Kathmandu at the start of your tour.

You need to have a sleeping bag on all of our trekking tours.

We are able to arrange for you to hire one while you are in Nepal if you do not want to carry one with you. We suggest you still bring a thin sheet sleeping bag to use with it.

The price is UK£2 per person per day - please check the tour itinerary & factsheet for the number of days required.

For added comfort and warmth while you are trekking, we can arrange for hire of thick down jackets in Kathmandu. These are particularly welcome during cooler seasons, and in the evenings at higher altitudes after you have finished walking for the day.
