Ghandrung & Chitwan Jungle
A comfortable exploration of Annapurna and the Chitwan National Park
Ghandrung and Chitwan Jungle trip offers everything
from fascinating ancient Kathmandu, rafting the Seti River to game-watching in Chitwan Jungle National Park. 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, cozy
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. No one can fail to be impressed by the
diversity highlighted on this adventure. The snow-covered peaks of the
Annapurna Himalayas, white water fun on the Trishuli River, and an elephant-back
safari in the jungle offer a taste of Nepal's remarkable pleasures.
