World-class convention facilities, exciting adventure products, special opportunities for sightseeing, dining, accommodation, and shopping and much more. From toasting the sunrise over the Himalayas to seeking out wild animals in their natural habitat from atop an elephant, from being mesmerized by the artistic excellence of the medieval era to dancing the night away at a theme party, you will have lots to talk about when you get back home.


The Destination

Kathmandu, the Shangrila city of Nepal, is a novelty destination for many. Surrounded by Himalayan snow peaks, Kathmandu is the cradle of Nepalese civilization and culture. It is a living museum of ancient temples, palaces, shrines, squares and courtyards. It is also the fairy tale land of kings, queens, princes, princesses and living goddesses - still worshipped today.

Nepal is one destination that will fire up the imagination of everyone. Some curious, some incredulous, some a little nervous, some a little ambivalent but for once, you are going to bring excitement that will turn men and women into boys and girls and they will take stories back home and not just snap-shots.
