Nepal på 12 dager

Nepal

Oversikt

This route balances Nepal's three strongest experiences without requiring high-altitude mountaineering experience: Kathmandu's UNESCO-listed temple squares and stupas, a well-supported lodge-to-lodge trek up to Poon Hill for sweeping Annapurna and Dhaulagiri sunrise views, and a jungle safari in Chitwan National Park for rhinos and, with luck, tigers. No technical climbing or camping required — the Poon Hill trek sleeps in teahouses each night.
