For experienced adventure travelers
with young children, a family visit to the Nepal Himalaya
is now a realistic option. Aiming to provide a rewarding
and educational experience for all, our specially
devised holiday incorporates a short and easy trek
through the scenically splendid foothills of the Annapurnas.
En route we can expect to meet lots of inquisitive
Nepalese children and are assured of an especially
warm welcome in their ever-friendly villages. At the
high point of our trek, on Panchase Hill (2509m./8230ft)
there are wonderful views of the snow-capped Annapurna
and Dhaulagiri peaks. From the lakeside town of Pokhara,
we drive to the Trisuli River and enjoy 2 leisurely
days of rafting. Drifting slowly downriver we arrive
at Chitwan National Park, where elephant rides and
jungle walks will keep everyone entertained. Mixing
magical landscapes with plenty of time for sightseeing
and relaxing in Kathmandu and Pokhara, this is the
ultimate Himalayan family vacation.
