21‑Day Multi‑Activity Expedition
Trek. Raft. Safari. The complete Himalayan experience.
Over three unforgettable weeks, this expedition leads you from the high peaks of Langtang to the raging whitewater of the Kali Gandaki and finally into the humid jungles of Chitwan. No rushed transfers. No tourist crowds. Just full immersion.
In the mountains, you’ll hike yak‑dotted trails and stand on Kyanjin Ri (4,773m) as dawn light spills across the snow summits. On the river, you’ll paddle one of the subcontinent’s wildest rafting routes Class III‑IV rapids, sandbank camping and star‑lit evenings far from roads. In the jungle, you’ll track rhinos by jeep and glide past crocodiles in a silent canoe, feeling the presence of tigers in the undergrowth.
This is expedition‑style travel with all the support you need. Physical, raw and expertly guided, it’s designed for those who want to earn every view, every rapid, every wild encounter.
Return not as a tourist, but as someone who truly touched Nepal’s wild heart.
