Nepal is home to the most spectacular mountain scenery on the planet as well as some of the richest forest habitats on the subcontinent. Planning a trip to see both tigers and Everest is very possible in Nepal and the specialists at Imagine India can design a tailor-made luxury holiday to fit around your exact requirements.
Nepal is a mythical and beautiful country embraced by the Himalayas. But, don’t get it wrong, Nepal is not only a mountain destination. Treks to the Annapurna Range and Mount Everest could blend to perfection with tours to the historical heritage of Kathmandu valley or with tiger safaris in the Chitwan National Park. If you love adventure holiday, get an adrenaline rush by white water rafting, kayaking or mountain biking in extreme landscapes. You will be amazed at the friendliness and openness of Nepali people and their fascinating culture which, being sandwiched between India and China, still succeed to maintain its unique features.

Pokhara is a trekker’s paradise and offers scores of treks, starting from just one day in length. The treks almost always offer spectacular views of some of the world’s most beautiful mountains, including Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchare, Nilgiri and Manaslu amongst others, as well as beautiful gurung villages and paddyfields. The treks here are ideal for a shorter trip or for those who want to enjoy some spectacular scenery without the need to acclimatize.
Phewa Tal is the second-largest lake in Nepal. On calm days, the mountains of the Annapurna Range are perfectly reflected in the placid waters. Away from the shore, the water is clean and deep and the dense forest along the south side of the lake provides shelter for brilliant white egrets.
The International Mountain Museum is devoted to the mountains of Nepal and the mountaineers who climbed them. Inside, you can see original gear from many of the first Himalayan ascents, as well as displays on the history, culture, geology and flora and fauna of the Himalayas.
From the village of Sarangkot, you can see a panoramic sweep of the nearby Himalayan peaks. From the epic-looking Dhaulagiri (8167m) in the west, to the perfect pyramid of Machhapuchhare (6997m) and rounded peak of Annapurna II (7937m) in the east. Each dawn and dusk, the sun bathes the peaks in brilliant shades of orange.
