Nepal offers remarkable diversity within a restricted territory: mythical treks to the base camps of Everest or Annapurna, Kathmandu Valley rich in temples and Newar palaces, national parks harboring tigers and rhinoceroses in the Terai. Circuits generally combine mountains, culture and wildlife observation. Allow a minimum of 2 weeks to grasp this variety, whether you opt for a private trip with an English-speaking guide or a small group circuit of maximum 10 people. Altitude requires progressive acclimatization for high mountain treks.
