Not Your Typical Himalayan Travel Experience...
- A Unique Nature-Intensive Itinerary
Our itinerary combines two countries and offers an unusual combination of Himalayan nature and culture rarely presented together as we do here. You'll search for native wildlife such as rare rhinos...and you'll experience each country's Buddhist and Hindu heritage expressed in rich architectural and religious sites. - Spend Three Days Tracking Wildlife in Nepal’s Lowland Jungle
Nepal is known for its Himalayan heights, but its jungle lowlands—called the Terai—are where its most abundant wildlife resides. We stay at a remote luxury ecolodge ideally situated near Chitwan National Park, Nepal’s premier wildlife reserve. Our location near the park is where the best animal viewing occurs, and the lodge boasts high sightings of one-horned rhinoceros, crocodileand gharial. We may also see wild Asian elephant, leopard, sloth bear, wild boar, crocodile, sambar deer and monkeys—and, if we’re extremely lucky, the elusive Bengal tiger. - Visit Bhutan’s Motithang Takin Reserve
While stunning mountainscapes and a rich heritage of Buddhist culture are arguably Bhutan’s greatest draws for the traveler, a visit to this wildlife reserve is a special highlight. The takin, a large, shaggy ungulate related to the muskox, is Bhutan’s national animal, and we’re likely to enjoy close-up views of it here, where we may also see sambar and barking deer. - Enjoy Exceptional Birdwatching
In addition to the array of mammals we are likely to spot, Chitwan abounds in bird species—more than 500 are found in the vicinity of our lodge—and we’re likely to see plenty in Bhutan as well. Even casual birdwatchers will enjoy the avian elements of this nature adventure. Bring your binoculars! - A Diverse Itinerary Filled with Varied Activities
This unusual trip includes a collage of activities: wildlife drives, guided nature walks and canoe rides in the natural areas we visit, plus cultural experiences in Kathmandu and Bhutan’s tranquil cities and monasteries.
