Discover Nepal

Home to eight of the world’s fourteen highest mountains, including Mount Everest, Nepal is one of the great Himalayan destinations. Beyond its legendary trekking trails in the Everest, Annapurna, Langtang, Manaslu and Mustang regions, Nepal offers the ancient temples and Newari heritage of the Kathmandu Valley, the lakeside calm of Pokhara, and the wildlife-rich jungles of Chitwan and Bardia.

Whether you are looking for a gentle hill walk, a high-altitude base camp trek, a cultural holiday or a scenic helicopter flight, our Nepal journeys are planned with the same mindful, community-based approach we bring to Bhutan.

Best Time to Visit Nepal

Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the most popular seasons for trekking and sightseeing in Nepal. Spring brings blooming rhododendrons and pleasant temperatures at lower elevations, while autumn offers clear skies, excellent mountain views and major festivals such as Dashain and Tihar. The summer monsoon (June to August) turns the hills lush and green but can bring muddy trails, landslides and flight delays, and winter (December to February) offers quiet trails and snowy scenery, with some high passes closed.
