What makes a combined tour to Nepal and Tibet special?
The Nepal Tibet Tour of 14 days provides a unique opportunity to see and experience two Himalayan yet contrasting worlds. Nepal, home to the top of the world, Mount Everest (8,848.86 m), including 13 other mountain ranges above 8,000 m (in total 14), now offers lush green valleys, epic mountain views, and diverse ethnic culture. On the other hand, Tibet boasts the raw Himalayan wilderness of high-altitude plateaus, turquoise lakes, rugged terrain, and unspoiled cultural and spiritual heritages.
Why is the Kathmandu Valley a must-visit destination in Nepal?
The Nepal Tibet Tour begins in Kathmandu Valley with a guided sightseeing tour. Besides being in the capital city of Nepal, approximately at an altitude of 1,400 m above sea level, Kathmandu Valley is also the cultural melting point. Made up of three districts: Kathmandu, Lalitpur, and Bhaktapur, the city is home to at least seven of the world’s UNESCO Heritage Sites: Pashupatinath, Boudhnath, Swayambhunath, Changunaryan Temple, and the three cities with Durbar Squares: Basantapur, Patan, and Bhaktapur.
Pashupatinath Temple is one of the holiest Hindu shrines in the world, where only Hindus are allowed inside its main premises, and one can see the cremation ceremonies. Boudhnath, otherwise also referred to as the mini Tibet, is the largest dome structure in Asia, while the famous Monkey Temple, Swayambhunath, is considered the oldest religious site in Nepal. The medieval cities, in addition, offer lively street cities with historical importance, making the Kathmandu Valley iconic, and our tour of Nepal and Tibet of 14 days includes a full exploration.
Which are the mountains visible during the Nepal-Tibet tour?
The combined tour to Nepal and Tibet offers stunning views of a mix of iconic Himalayan peaks. From the Nepal side, the Kathmandu Valley, Nagarkot specifically, on a clear weather day, offers you stunning mountain views of Ganesh Himal, Dorje Lakpa, Gaurishankar, and Gaurishankar. In Pokhara, as you hike to Sarangkot, it offers you the majestic and serene sights of the Annapurna mountain ranges, including Annapurna I (8,091 m), the 10th highest mountain in the world, followed by Dhaulagiri and Machhapuchhre.
From the Tibet side, as the Nepal-Tibet trip progresses through Kerung, Tingiri, Shigatse, Gyantse, and Lhasa, and gradually to Everest Base Camp, the magnificent views of the north face of Mount Everest (8,848.86 m/the highest mountain in the world), Cho Oyu (8,188 m/the sixth highest peak on earth), Shishapangma (8,028 m, which is entirely in Tibet), Gyachung Kang, and Nojin Kangtsang ensure you a visual retreat time and again. More exclusive and expansive from high-altitude areas and viewpoints, the trip to Nepal and Tibet is also a unique Himalayan experience.
Is a 14-day trip to Nepal and Tibet suitable for wildlife enthusiasts?
Yes, the Nepal Tibet Tour package from Adventure Himalayan Travels and Treks includes a visit to Chitwan and its national park, the Chitwan National Park, also called the Sauraha National Park; hence, it is suitable for wildlife and photography aspirants. Formally called the Royal Chitwan National Park, which has made its place on the list of UNESCO Natural World Heritage Sites from Nepal, it is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna.
The dense forests of sal, riverine, and mixed hardwood spread over an area of 952.63 square kilometers are also home to endangered mammals like the one-horned rhinoceros, Royal Bengal tiger, Gharial crocodile, Asian elephant, leopard, and sloth bear. Additional visitors can also observe four-horned antelope, Indian pangolin, golden monitor lizard, wild water buffalo, and rhesus macaque in their natural habitat. Therefore, the Chitwan National Park, besides being an excellent side trip, is also a must-visit, family-friendly destination.
Where does the Nepal-Tibet trip get challenging?
While most of the Nepal Tour section is pleasing, hiking up to the top of Nagarkot and Sarangkot due to the steep ascent can get demanding for children and elderly people. Otherwise, it is a seamless experience without extensive trekking, such as the Everest Base Camp Trek, Annapurna Base Camp Trek, Annapurna Circuit Trek, and Manaslu Circuit Trek. It is designed for a pleasing family and private cultural and natural experience of both Nepal and Tibet that is devoid of physical and mental taxation, yet still enjoys epic mountain views and covers all the major highlights.
However, due to long travel days, climatic shifts from warm green valleys to rugged high-altitude Tibetan plateaus, especially to the North Everest Base Camp, and special permits and Chinese visas for border crossing can increase the logistical challenges. At Adventure Himalayan Travels and Treks, on booking our service, though we arrange the essential documents for you, it is the travelers' and visitors' responsibility to keep themselves prepared for potential challenges. Research and being knowledgeable of AMS, symptoms, and preventative measures at 3,000 m above sea level does ease the journey.
How does the Nepal-Tibet tour combine historical sites and spiritual experiences?
As mentioned above, the Nepal Tibet Trip package from Adventure Himalayan Travels and Treks begins with your arrival in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. The second day was allocated for the Kathmandu Valley sightseeing, where a professional guide takes you to visit UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and later on, Nagarkot. There are at least seven cultural and historical sites with international significance, a living museum that tells the story of ancient Nepal, its rich culture, and its way of life.
The Nepal-Tibet tour then takes you through various cities of Tibet, where Buddhism has thrived for centuries. The several landmarks dedicated to Buddhist spiritual leaders, such as the Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama, are living proof of it. In Lhasa alone, the capital of Tibet, the Potala Palace, Drupang, Nechung Monastery, Jokhang Temple, and Barkhor Street, each with unique architecture and different religious beliefs, come together and promise you unparalleled historical sites and spiritual experiences.
