Nepal Tour-Culture, Wildlife, Hiking & Cooking Class-15 Days

This tour packs sightseeing, wildlife, hiking, and Nepali food into a single trip. It starts in Kathmandu, where you visit some of the city's old temples, stupas, and historic squares. The cooking class is also here. You work with a local instructor, learn what goes into Nepali cooking (spices, lentils, rice, and local vegetables), and prepare traditional dishes yourself before eating them.

From there the trip moves to Chitwan, where you spend time in and around the national park looking for wildlife. Chitwan is known for its one-horned rhinos and many bird species, so this part is mostly about early starts and watching quietly.

You then spend a night at Australian Camp, a simple camping spot away from the cities where you sleep outdoors and wake up to the surroundings. The last major activity is a hike through Shivapuri National Park, on the edge of Kathmandu Valley, with forest trails and a break from the city.

Why Choose This Nepal Tour?

This 15-day journey brings together Nepal's culture, nature, wildlife, mountains, and rural lifestyle in one itinerary. You will experience historic cities, jungle activities, mountain scenery, short hikes, traditional villages, and local experiences without spending the entire trip on a demanding trek.

How Is This Tour Unique?
