Take a three-week adventure and make new friends that will last a lifetime, in two countries that will touch your heart. On this 21-day trip through Nepal and India, eat your weight in delicious street food, tick one of the Seven Wonders of the World (the Taj Mahal of course) off your bucket list and cruise down the holy Ganges. Hang in Buddha’s hometown, search for sloth bears and rhinos at Chitwan National Park, stay with local families and dive into colourful Kathmandu. Pull on your adventure boots for whitewater rafting on the Trisuli River, then trek in the Annapurna region. End it all back in Nepal’s capital, where you can choose to take a yoga class, go sightseeing or maybe extend your adventure and Zen out at your own pace!
