Post Conference Tours

Mountain Flight:

The mountain flight gives the best opportunity for those who are restricted by time to get the closest and the best panoramic view of about eight mountains exceeding 8,000 metres along with Mount Everest others are : Shisa Pangma, Gauri Shankar, Melungtse, Cho Oyu, Pumori, Nuptse , Lhotse and Amadablam etc in a just one hour. This also provides a most unique opportunity to witness the unsurpassed grandeur of the mighty and majestic central Himalayan mountain ranges spanning across Nepal from West to East. The flights are operated every morning from Kathmandu airport which fly at an average altitude of 7000 meters. Mountain flights are offered by small but safest aircrafts.

Sauraha Tour:

The Chitwan National Park is one of the finest National parks in Asia and is listed a World Heritage site since 1984. It is home for some endangered species such as Tiger, Rhinoceros, Leopard, Gaurs as well as Crocodiles, Deer, Sloth Beer, Butterflies and over 530 species of colourful birds. A wildlife tour to Sauraha in Chitwan Wildlife National Park offers a unique opportunity to observe the Asian rhino, the Bengal tiger (if one is lucky because it is such a secretive hunter!), the wild boar and a variety of deer and birds through an exciting elephant ride of 2-3 hours. The National Park offers an animal museum, elephant breeding centre that can be reached by an exciting canoe ride and the daughter of a man eating tigress kept sadly in jungle captivity for safety as optional excitements for enthusiasts, time permitting. Sauraha town also offers an indigenous Tharu cultural program along with a visit to the indigenous Tharu people’s museum. It should be a unique experience indeed.

Kakani and /or Nagarkot Tour:

Kakani or Nagarkot is situated at an elevation of nearly 1980 meters above the sea level. It incoporates beautiful open scenerio and magnificent  Himalayan panorama. A pleasant sightseeing tour away from the bustling city crowd by comfortable vehicle within the Kathmandu Valley amongst lush greenery and also panoramic view of the Himalayan Mountains, which is indeed breathtaking particularly from Nagarkot! Kakani is located 25–km north-west of the Kathmandu city. It is famous for rainbow Trout fish and strawberry. It has a beautiful alpine scenery to the magnificent Himalayan panorama.
