Reisroute
Ontdek Nepal als nooit tevoren - geniet van een korte vakantie waarin je een paar van de populairste toeristische bestemmingen in Nepal verkent! Krijg de kans getuige te zijn van enkele van de natuurwonderen rond Kathmandu, Pokhara, en Chitwan.
Wandelen in de wildernis, raften op wildwaterrivieren, en door diepe tropische wouden trekken blijven de hoogtepunten van deze tocht. De 9-daagse tocht past bij iedereen die het land in korte tijd wil verkennen.
Kathmandu, Pokhara, en Chitwan zijn drie belangrijke toeristische bestemmingen in Nepal. Samen vormen ze een driehoek en elke bestemming biedt de toerist een unieke ervaring. Kathmandu, ook bekend als "stad van de tempels", is de thuishaven van duizenden tempels, kloosters, monumenten, en UNESCO Erfgoedplaatsen. Pokhara herbergt negen verschillende meren, tempels, Peace Stupa, en grotten. Chitwan, van de andere kant, blijft een ultieme jungle-safari bestemming. Het is begiftigd met kilometers weelderige tropische wouden en exotische wilde dieren.
De Nepal Soft Adventure Tour begint bij je aankomst in Kathmandu Stad. De reis begint met een sightseeing tour door de historische vallei en enkele van haar meest bezochte UNESCO Werelderfgoederen, zoals Swayambhunath, Pashupatinath, en Boudhanath. De tocht gaat verder 80 km ten westen van Kathmandu waar je je overgeeft aan een avontuurlijke White-Water Rafting in Grade-3 stroomversnellingen van de machtige Trishuli rivier.
Zonder veel tijd te verliezen rijd je naar Pokhara, de op een na populairste toeristische bestemming in Nepal. Begin aan een tweedaagse wandeling naar het Australische Basiskamp en Dhampus Phedi, gelegen binnen het Annapurna Conservation Area. De wandeling biedt een blik van dichtbij op majestueuze toppen als Machhapuchhre en Annapurna I (8091 m). Een korte tocht door Pokhara brengt je naar Davis Fall, Gupteshwor Grot, en bootje varen in Phewa Lake.
De laatste etappe van de tocht brengt je naar het stammenland Chitwan dat nog steeds het thuis is van de inheemse Tharu en Danuwar stammen en kilometers weelderige tropische wouden. Een avontuurlijke jungle safari brengt je dicht bij het leefgebied van de bedreigde soorten van de Koninklijke Bengaalse Tijger en de Eenhoornige Neushoorn. Als de tijd het toelaat kun je ook een avontuurlijke kanotocht maken in de door krokodillen geteisterde Rapti rivier. De tocht eindigt met een korte rit terug naar Kathmandu.
