Overview

This tour is for the explorers who want a bit of everything. You’ll get your fill of ancient history in the capital before we swap temple bells for the sounds of the jungle. In Chitwan, we trade the city streets for dugout canoes and jungle safaris, keeping our eyes peeled for rhinos, exotic birds, and maybe even a leopard.
