So Various Nepal: Trekking, Rafting, Canyoning and Safari-15 Days

Trip Introduction

Join our marvelous package in the Himalayas of the mystical land of Nepal that combines nature, culture and adventure in a nutshell. The trip combines sightseeing tour of the ancient Buddhist and Hindu historic places, white-water rafting adventure in one of world's highest rivers, the Bhote Kosi, a trek into the Langtang Himalayas, and wildlife excursion in the subtropical jungle of Chitwan. This exciting trip takes you deep into the Himalayas north of Kathmandu amidst truly breathtaking middle and high altitude forests and alpine meadows that give you an overwhelming sense of peace and tranquility. Take refuge in the world of cool forests, rushing rivers, high and wild places, and awesome, timeless icy peaks. After our initial sightseeing tour of Kathmandu and rafting adventure in one of world's highest river of Bhotekoshi, we set off for the drive to Dhunche where we begin our trek. The ride passes through twists and turns over several ridges before descending to the subtropical banks of the Trisuli Khola. Beyond Trisuli Bazaar the track extends all the way to Dhunche. From Dhunche we start our trek.  

We continue our trek into the Langtang Valley leaving behind the leafy trees, passing through the conifers, and finally giving way to alpine scrub with dwarf rhododendrons. Passing through some oak forest on the way, reach Singh Gompa through some fine old mixed forest. Ultimately, the juniper and rhododendron scrub finally gives way to the barren rocky slopes of Gosainkund lake area. Continuing up to the Laurebina Pass, descend down the pass through the rocky landscapes to the ground vegetation. Cross many interesting ravines, rivers, juniper and rhododendrons, eventually reaching Ghopte. Finally leave the Ghopte area, continuing through rhododendron forest to Tharepati.  After Tharepati, the trail crosses a number of ridges and passes through several small villages.  Eventually we reach Shivapuri Ridge and a steep descent takes us to Sundarijal, the trek end point.  A short bus ride will take us to Kathmandu, and the next day we continue our journey to Chitwan for jungle adventure. After spending two days with the wildlife in the sub-tropical jungles of Chitwan, we head back to Kathmandu.
