Exploring the amazing heritage of the Kathmandu Valley, a cultural centre for arts and architecture for over 700 years, it has seen epochs come and go. The charm and historic interest of the three former city states of Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur is truly timeless. From the urban focus your journey takes you on the gateway to the high Himalaya at Pokhara, an ancient meeting point of trans-himalayan and North Indian trading routes, Pokhara retains a laid-back charm and awesome Himalayan panoramas with three 8,000m peaks dominating the skyline of the valley, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna and Manaslu among the wealth of other peaks including the valley's iconic Fishtail, or Machhapuchhare, a sacred summit barred to climbing expeditions. A short helicopter flight and you will be landed in Mustang, the once forbidden kingdom. There, hidden deep in the undulations of the Himalayas and dominated by the snow-dusted peak of Nilgiri, you will start a unique adventure exploring some of the most unforgiving places on the planet. Returning to Kathmandu, for your last day, you will stay in Nepal’s iconic Dwarika’s Hotel, an oasis of luxury in the hectic city.
