Nepalese jungles in the
Tarai region especially are filled with wildlife. Royal Chitwan
National Park is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding wild
life sanctuaries in the world. It is located 166 Kms Southwest
of Kathmandu, 204 Kms Southeast of Pokhara. The National Park
is large area of low, heavily forested hills bordering India
in the south and covers nearly 400 square miles. Among the
animals at Chitwan National Park are the one-horned rhino,
the Royal Bengal tiger, the Gharial crocodile and the colorful
peacock. Animal lovers, bird watches and sightseers now all
enjoy going there. It is also home to nearly 60 Bengal Tigers.
The best time to visit the park is March through May and September
to December. The nearest airport is Meghauly and Royal Nepal
and Everest Air have regular flights to and from Kathmandu.
Chitwan Jungle Lodge lies in the park, on the banks of the
river Rapti. Listen to the sounds of nature, the forest-birdsong,
the rustle of deer in the bushes or the tempting call of
elephants. From the moment you wake at dawn to roam through
the jungle on elephant back, to the quiet talk around the
camp fire at day's end: Chitwan Jungle Lodge - the unforgettable
experience.

other magnificent mountains has given many mountain lovers
of the world to touch their wildest dreams from the untouched
Himalayan hights of Nepal. The flights last for about an hour

Nepal is a trekker's paradise.
The immense contrasts in altitude and climates found here
support an equally spectacular mix of lifestyle and wildlife.
Nepal is a pioneer in the sport of trekking. Known as the
Himalayan Kingdom, Nepal is dominated by eight of the world's
fourteen highest mountains, including Everest. On average,
trekking consists of walking daily 5 to 7 hours, 9 to 14 kilometers
on a series of ascents and descents.
Annually, more than 200,000 tourists come here to trek. During
trekking, experience superb panoramic views of mountains,
a diversity of landscape, flora and fauna, colorful cultures,
friendly people and ancient history. Trekkers leave Nepal
with grand tales to share with their family and friends.
Autumn (Sept-Nov)
This season offers excellent weather and tantalizing mountain
views. Winter (Dec-Feb)
This season is noted for occasional snowfall only at higher
elevations. Hence it is ideal for trekking at lower attitudes. Spring (Mar-May)
The weather is mild with moderate temperature at lower elevations
and at elevations over 4000 m. the mountain views are clear. Summer (Jun-Aug)
Summer months, continuing up to mid-September, take travel wet
and warm.
Everest
Base Camp (E.B.C.) Trek 16 Days / 15 nights
The Everest or Khumbu region is justifiably the most famous
of all trekking and mountain regions. This area includes the
highest mountain in the world, Everest at 8,848m, and many
of the world's 8,000m peaks such as Lhotse, Cho Oyu, and Makalu.
The Everest Base Camp trek is a classic trek,
which follows in the footsteps of Hillary & Tenzing and
ends with an ascent of Kala Pattar for superb views of Everest.
This trek starts with an exhilarating 45-minute mountain flight
into the airstrip at Lukla. From here, trek slowly upward
to the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar, from where you can
have a glimpse of the mighty Everest. Visit Tengboche monastery
en route before continuing on to our goal, an ascent of Kala
Pattar, a rocky outcrop to the west of Everest. This vantage
point gives fantastic views of the Ice Fall and South Col
as well as the immense southwest face of Everest, which was
first climbed in 1975 by Chris Bonington's team. Accommodation
and food is provided in the local lodges

Namche is a fascinating place simply to 'hang out' and take
in the culture of the mountains, from the trading of visiting
Tibetans to the stories of departing mountaineers. Spend the
day by taking a side trip to Thame or Khumjung, by visiting
the National Park Visitor Center on the hill above Namche
or by simply resting and browsing in the shops in the town.

to see many of the key features of this great mountain - the
South Col from which Hillary and Tenzing made their first
ascent in 1953 is clearly visible. After spending time taking
photographs and experiencing the greatest Mountain View in
