Capture the spirit of Nepal on a stupa-endous journey rich in history, culture, and spiritual exploration.

Then, before you get too zen – experience the thrill of rafting down the Trisuli river and spend a night camping under the Nepalese stars. From the labyrinth of bustling bazaars that crowd Kathmandu to the tranquil ambiance that encircles hill-top temples, it will be hard not to feel enlightened on this breathtaking adventure, Namaste!

I have just finished a 10 day experience Nepal with Intrepid. I cannot express enough how amazing it was. Trekking and white water rafting with a small group of 6. Our guide Bipin was so knowledgeable about pretty much everything. I feel blessed to have had this truly amazing experience with a wonderful group of lovely, kind people.

Excellent introductory trip to Nepal, visiting both city and rural areas, and including hiking and rafting. We were very lucky with the weather and had great views of the Himalayas from several different locations.

Nepal is a magnificent country with beautiful people, amazing scenery, fascinating culture and great organic food. Traveling here with Intrepid meant that all I had to was enjoy myself! I’ll be back to Nepal and I’ll definitely use Intrepid again!

Nepal is an incredible country. This trip is the perfect mix to experience its culture, nature, and adventure (the rafting is so fun!) Our guide Amit was so knowledgeable and made sure we always felt happy and comfortable. He really went above and beyond. This trip is fantastic. You will fall in love with this wonderful country and the truly kind Nepalese people!

This trip was incredible. With this tour you see such a variety of Nepal including city, hills, old towns and some activities. The pace is just right with most of day planned but free time built in. The walks were for me a bit challenging, due to the heat and the lack of hills walks I had previously completed. I would suggest doing stair walking before hand. All the local guides were amazing and everything was done at the pace of the group. The accomdation is far from basic and was incredicble. The rafting was a highlight and not too challenging. I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see Nepal.

I learn more from this trip than I expected.

I found this to be a very informative and eye opening experience. Showing culture, beautiful landscape only tainted by the poor air quality in some parts and unmanaged rubbish disposal. I have many positive memories of this trip.

This trip for me was somewhere I had always wanted to come. Nepal far out exceeded my expectations. The Nepalis are so friendly and helpful. Ingrid at Namobuddha resort made sure I had a downstairs bedroom next to a toilet due to being older. Very thoughtful and her food was the best of the trip all organic and ecologically sustainable. Our guide Kishor was what made this trip memorable with his knowledge and explaining everything. The temples were so beautiful. The hills above Kathmandu are breathtaking. This is one holiday I am so sad to see come to an end.

Had such a great time on this trip. While a couple of nights were basic accommodation most were actually really nice and not basic at all! The scenery on the treks is incredible and worth the exertion and loved the white water rafting even though I had never done it before so was a bit apprehensive but they made you feel really safe. Liked that there is some downtime so your not on the go all the time.

Amazing trip around Kathmandu. Includes hiking and rafting tours . Good organized trip including local food.

It was a nice trip. We saw your beautiful country, the life and the culture. And the activities by rafting made a lot of fun. It was a great experience to get to know your country.

This is the PERFECT itinerary to fall in love with Nepal. It balances between culture, trekking, and adventure while you're surrounded by the kindest people and most beautiful scenery. December weather is perfect for walking around the cities/towns and hiking but a bit chilly, although not unbearable, in the evenings and rafting. By chance, our itinerary dates aligned so we were able to witness 2 festivals and a Nepali wedding! Our guide Amit is simply the best; his passion and kindness made the trip even more enjoyable. Book this trip - you will not be disappointed!

Nepal on a budget is best how to describe this trip. It provides a introduction to hiking, river rafting with some amazing backdrops. Hotels are basic and the lack of investment in hotels over the COVID period is noticeable. Staff are helpful you soon realise that most have learnt English from the same phrase book. We went over a festival period, so services were further limited, and staff used this as a reason from lack services.
