A comfortable exploration of Chitwan National Park and the Annapurna
This extremely varied trip offers everything from fascinating ancient Kathmandu, rafting the Seti River to game-watching in Chitwan. The highlight is a short trek, with sherpas and porters, visiting some of the most interesting villages in the Annapurna foothills. Using a series of picturesque, comfortable lodges we offer a greater degree of comfort than is normally available while trekking. Each lodge has twin rooms, attached bathrooms with flush toilets, hot and cold running water, dining rooms, cosy lounges, gardens and stunning views. If you're after a slightly higher level of comfort than is standard in Nepal, you'll find this an absorbing and rewarding itinerary.

Responsible Travel
Nava Kiran Orphanage
After two years in the making March 2006 saw the opening of a new building, and a much larger home for the children living at the Nava Kiran Orphanage. Today is a different story. The children are now fully settled in their new home and all attend local schools or nursery school. They have transformed the gardens into small rice terraces and are producing enough rice each month to keep the kitchen stocked, this in turn frees valuable funds which they are putting towards a biogas dome. Once up and running, and with the help of 9 tonnes of cow dung, the dome will turn waste from the bathrooms into natural gas that can be used for cooking. Almost all trips to Kathmandu can visit the orphanage, and all our Nepali leaders will be happy to pass on up-to-date information.
