The best of Nepal. Starting with an easy trek from the lakeside town of Pokhara you head to the magnificent Annapurna range where the panoramic views from Poon Hill are extraordinary. At sunrise you will see three eight thousand metre peaks, Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Manaslu rising above a sea of smaller Himalayan mountains. After the trek you stay at the beautiful lakeside setting at Pokhara before rafting down the Seti River and heading to Chitwan National Park to relax and explore the forests and grasslands of lowland Nepal.
