Wildlife Holidays in Nepal
Tell me about Nepal …
Nepal is one of the most spectacular countries on earth, inhabited by extremely friendly and endearing people.
For a country that lies 800 kilometres from the sea, it has a scenic and altitudinal variety that is quite unrivalled. It contains the highest mountains in the world, thundering rivers, magical montane forests and dense lowland jungles.
The bustling capital city combines medieval and modern in unique fashion and visitors will be fascinated by the beautiful pagoda-style Hindu temples, Buddhist stupas and elaborate royal palaces. The Kathmandu Valley – once the bed of a large and ancient lake – is now a colourful mosaic of rice paddies and quaint farmhouses surrounded by high forested hills.
How about trekking?
The trekking opportunities to be found in Nepal are unrivalled. The majestic Himalaya range contains eight of the world's highest mountains, culminating in Mount Everest.
Walking through magnificent forests of oak and rhododendrons beneath the towering white summits, one can understand why some claim this to be the most beautiful place on the planet.
What’s special about the wildlife?
Nepal is home to a wonderful variety of animal and plant life. Among the mammals found here are Tiger, Gaur, wild Water Buffalo, Indian One-horned Rhinoceros, Asian Elephant and some interesting primate species, while its splendid bird life includes such sought after species as Bengal Florican, Ibisbill and Swamp Francolin.
The Kathmandu Valley supports a fabulous range of exotic bird and mammal species including monkeys, Muntjac, Jungle Cat, Leopard and even Tiger.
