From breakfast at the highest point of the world to watching the Royal Bengal tigers sway by in the deepest jungle of the plains, enjoy the best of different worlds in the most luxurious and comfortable setting. And it’s not just the highest and lowest terrains of Nepal but also a mesmerizing tour of art and culture in the valley that is added to this mixture of adventure and thrill.

Fly to the Himalayas on the chartered helicopter, spend some time by the mighty Everest, enjoy the glistering mountain range, and watch the village life of mountain people up close. All this will be followed by delicious breakfast on the lap of Everest; can a morning get any better?

Spend an evening stroll around the art, architecture, history, and divinity that will satiate the culture vulture in you. The Boudha Stupa and Bhaktapur Darbar Square are both World Heritage sites known for their cultural, historical, and even architectural importance.

The jungle in the plains is known for its flora and fauna, and wide range of birds and wild animals. Best known for the Royal Bengal tigers (we recently doubled the number of tigers in our jungle), rhinos, elephants, and crocodiles living by the massive Rapti River, Chitwan (literally translated as the heart of the jungle) is the ultimate destination for nature lovers. Enjoy a jeep ride deep into the jungle, indulge in bird-watching, and spend quality time with the elephants. You will also get to experience the life and culture of Tharu, the native indigenous group that lives around the jungle.

After the thrilling journey from the top to the base of the country, a delightful ending comes in the form of relaxation and rejuvenation at the resort known for its impeccable blend of heritage and hospitality. Various activities will be provided to relax your body and awaken your soul.

Itinerary

SWAGATAM

Arrival Pick up from Kathmandu International Airport.

Check into Gokarna Forest Resort.

Enjoy the first meal of the day at the highest point on the planet. As you take a helicopter ride to Everest Base Camp, you will be on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Your journey begins at 5:30 a.m. Our representative will transport you to the domestic airport, from where you will board your first helicopter for a 45-minute flight to Lukla (2860m). The helicopter will refuel there before continuing to Everest Base Camp. The chartered Himalayan Helicopter Tour will give you an incredible bird’s-eye view of the Himalayan Range. You will make brief stops at Kala Patthar (5545m) and Everest Base Camp (5364m) to take photos of Mt. Everest’s mind-blowing vista and spend some time among nature’s wonders. Depending on the weather, we will spend about 5-10 minutes on the ground.

Flying over the Everest Range, you will arrive at Everest View Hotel which is at the highest altitude, for a delicious hearty breakfast to savour while admiring the view. We will spend about an hour in the awe-inspiring presence of the Himalayas, with views of charming Nepali villages below. The helicopter tour concludes with the return ride to the capital, but the day has only just begun.

Ngima Sherpa, a four-time Everest summiteer, will accompany you on a visit to two important World Heritage sites, Boudhanath Stupa and Bhaktapur, in the afternoon.

BoudhaNath Stupa is an intriguing white dome buzzing with energy; it stands 36 metres tall and dominates the skyline as you enter Boudha Gate. This stupa, built in the shape of a mandala designed to replicate the Gyangtse of Tibet, is where Tibetan merchants are said to have rested and offered prayers for centuries. As a result, it is a popular pilgrimage destination for Buddhists from all over the world. On each side are the Buddha’s all-seeing eyes, which represent awareness. The canopy is divided into 13 stages. A brick wall at ground level has 147 inches and 108 images of the meditational Buddha inset behind copper prayer wheels.

Bhaktapur Durbar Square still retains some of its ancient way of life. It’s a fascinating place to visit because of its remarkable architecture, exquisite woodcarvings, and metal crafts. The temples in the pagoda style rise above the Bhaktapur skyline. The beautiful city looks even more appealing when we see live pottery and farming, which we can see while visiting Bhaktapur.

Drive back from Bhaktapur.

Check in to Gokarna Forest Resort.

You will take a domestic flight to Chitwan and check into a very spacious and well-loved property in the middle of Chitwan’s greenery. You will spend two nights at the luxurious and comfortable Barahi and will participate in all Taj-organized jungle activities. Jeep rides, elephant safaris, and Tharu cultural shows are among the activities available.

Overnight stay at Barahi Jungle Lodge.

Your stay continues at Barahi, which overlooks a vast expanse of rippling waters in the heart of Chitwan National Park. Safaris twice daily in specially designed 4×4 vehicles driven by trained naturalists; Elephant back safaris allow guests to get up close and personal with rhinos and gharials as your elephant strides through the tall elephant grass.

For your thrill-seeking soul, try canoeing and floating down the picturesque RaptiRiver while admiring the Himalayan foothills and spotting numerous rhinoceroses, gharials, and birdlife. After the activities, relax in the cool waters of the infinity pool with signature Spa treatments in the privacy of your room.
