You’ll love arriving into Kathmandu – the capital city of Nepal, sitting at the foothills of the mighty Himalayan mountains. It’s a wonderful melting pot of travellers from around the glove, Buddhism and Hinduism religions, beautiful locally sourced gems, and mountaineering culture...it’s the perfect place to begin our journey together.
From here you’ll launch your expeditions into the iconic Himalaya.. seen from a distance from the capital, tempting you with the adventures that await.
