Additional information
Chitwan National Park Morning Jeep Safari
Set out on a guided jeep safari at first light in Chitwan National Park, a UNESCO-listed mosaic of sal forests, tall grasslands, and oxbow lakes. Scan for one-horned rhinoceros, follow fresh pugmarks in the dust, and listen for alarm calls that can betray a Bengal tiger nearby.
Local naturalists help you read the forest—gharial crocodiles on sandbanks, spotted deer in dappled shade, and bright hornbills overhead. Learn how conservation and community initiatives have buoyed rhino numbers as you travel sandy riverbeds and shaded sal groves in search of wildlife.
Everest Scenic Flight from Kathmandu
Take a scenic flight over Mt Everest from Kathmandu aboard a small aircraft built for window-seat viewing. Trace the Himalayan wall—Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu—rising above glacier-carved valleys, with snow plumes streaming from the summits as pilots point out Cho Oyu and the Khumbu far below.
This is an optional experience at additional cost and bookable on tour. It typically departs early for clearer skies and operates weather permitting; schedules may adjust for safety, and cockpit visits are at the airline’s discretion.
Kathmandu Durbar Square & Swayambhunath Hilltop Stupa
Explore Kathmandu’s royal heart on a guided walk through the UNESCO-listed Kathmandu Durbar Square. Trace Newar temples and courtyards, pause at the ancient Hanuman Dhoka palace, and admire the shuttered facade of Kumari Ghar before climbing to Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple) for panoramic valley views.
These icons reveal centuries of craft and belief, from the Living Goddess tradition to Swayambhu’s watchful eyes. Your guide unpacks earthquake restoration, carved lattice windows, and tiered pagodas that define Kathmandu’s unique blend of Hindu and Buddhist heritage.
Chitwan Evening Safari
Join an evening game drive in Chitwan National Park as golden light washes the grasslands and riverbanks. Follow different tracks from the morning, pause at quiet watchtowers, and scan reed-fringed lakes while listening for alarm calls that can hint at a nocturnal predator on the move.
This optional safari is at additional cost and bookable on tour. Routes vary with park rules and wildlife conditions, offering a fresh perspective as dusk deepens, herds head to water, and the forest readies for night.
