Firstly, we propose an acquaintance with the Kathmandu valley, seven of which’s major sites are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The valley represents a rectangle of 20 to 25 km, the so-called Nepalese mandala.It’s cities — Bhaktapur, Lalitpur (Patan), Kirtipur and the capital of Nepal Kathmandu -are enchanting with ancient architecture and traditional lifestyle, where time vanishes and vanity of this world disappears; where eagles sit in the trees in the parks, and monkeys roam the pavements of temple complexes.

The famous mountain Sarangkot is rising above the city, offering stunning views of the Annapurna range.Riding a boat, climbing the Piece Pagoda, evening at the Lake Side …

Thirdly, there is an opportunity to see the Himalayas from inside, trekking a part of the path around Annapurna: from the village of Danakyu to Manang, between Annapurna’s (7000 m) and KanglaHimal (5000 m).
