Annapurna Trails and Chitwan Jungle Safari

Trekking in the shadow of the Annapurnas range, plus Chitwan National Park

Annapurna trails and Chitwan is a perfect area for introduction to trekking, along with many of Nepal's other attractions. After visiting the enchanting temples of Kathmandu we drive to Pokhara to begin our trek. Our route has been carefully chosen to give superb views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Himalaya. These mighty massifs rise above 8000m. and in their foothills are picturesque villages surrounded by steeply terraced fields. Autumn views should be wonderfully clear, while springtime rhododendron forests provide a colorful foreground to splendid mountain vistas. Our goal is Poon Hill, the world-famous viewpoint, where we should witness a magnificent Himalayan sunrise. After the trek we descend to the Terai to visit Nepal's premier wildlife habitat, Chitwan National Park. These two weeks trips take you a wonderful trek to Ghorepani Poon Hill and Jungle Safari at Chitwan.
