The Himalayan
Kingdom of Nepal cannot be described in just
a few
|
|
words. A popular destination of hundreds and thousands
of people from around the world every year, it has
a different significance to everyone.
The Kingdom of Nepal offers an incomparable blend
of high mountains and rich cultures. Nepal embraces
the Central Himalaya including eight of the worlds
10 highest peaks, rushing rivers and rolling terraced
hills; lush, steamy tropics and high altitude plains.
Nepal's unique blend of Hinduism and Buddhism is endlessly
fascinating, as is its rich ethnic mosaic of diverse
people. There are few places as strange and beautiful,
and few people as friendly as people in Nepal.

WILDLIFE
SAFARI
Duration: 3 days
Departs from Kathmandu or Can join from Pokhara
Tour deep jungle on the back of an elephant for a taste
of Nepal's wild side.
The thick jungles of
the Royal Chitwan National Park(area 932 sq km) shelter
a wide variety of mammals, reptiles and birds. Endangered
beasts such as the one-horned rhino and the Royal Bengal
Tiger prowl through the foliage. Gharial crocodiles
lurk in the waters of the rivers that course through
here. And hundreds of species of birds criss-cross the
skies overhead.
Our elephant-back safari takes you through this wildlife
heaven for a close encounter with the denizens of the
jungle in their natural habitat. Bird watchers can look
forward to an exciting outing. Nepal is home to more
than 800 species of birds, or nearly as many species
as found in the whole of North America. The excursions
can be conducted on elephant-back or four-wheel drive
jeeps. There are trained naturalists to guide and inform
you. Side trips to surrounding villages offer a fascinating
insight into the culture and lifestyle of the local
Tharu people.
