Nepal is where the world rises into the sky: 8 of the planet’s 14 highest peaks, valley cities rich with royal squares and pagodas, mirror-lakes beneath Annapurna, rhino grasslands in Chitwan and Bardia, and wind-carved trans-Himalayan deserts in Mustang and Dolpo. Few countries offer such dramatic contrasts within such short distances.
The soul of Nepal—monasteries, craft guilds, and mountain trails—remains timeless, while guest experience keeps improving: broader domestic flight networks, refined comfort lodges on key trails, boutique heritage hotels in the Kathmandu Valley, and reliable connectivity in most travelled regions. Helicopter links and smart routing turn long transfers into short hops, expanding what’s possible in a single journey.
