Trip Overview
Nepal Heritage Tour is a perfect trip for those who want to immerse in Nepali culture, observe the giant Himalayas and see the best things Nepal has to offer to the world. It’s a cultural journey moving from one magnificent city to another, surrounded by Nepali hospitality and lost in the magic and mysteries of this Himalayan nation.
Nepal Heritage Tour starts in Kathmandu, the capital city with a rich history stretching over thousands of years back. Here you will be guided to World Heritage Sites which are one of the oldest shrines in Nepal. Soak in the wonders of Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, Changunarayan Temple and Bhaktapur Durbar Square. Afterwards, move to Nagarkot, one of the famous hill stations. In the morning, you will be rewarded with a spectacular sunrise over a broad range of Himalayan mountains.
The heritage tour moves outside the Kathmandu valley. Your first stop is Chitwan which has one of the best wildlife parks in Asia. If you are lucky, you will be able to spot a royal Bengal tiger. Then, the journey takes you to Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha. The trip moves from the plains towards the mountains with a stop at Palpa; it was a medieval kingdom before being unified into Nepal.
You will finally arrive at Pokhara, the most beautiful city in Nepal. Here you can go boating on the tranquil Phewa Lake, look up towards the mighty Annapurnas which are closer than anywhere in your trip, visit Sarangkot which is another hill station famous for its sunrise over the Himalayas and explore sites of religious and historical importance.
Your tour ends with an amazing Nepali dinner. You will get to observe cultural performances and also take part in them. On the next day, you will be dropped off at the airport in our comfortable tourist vehicle.
Come and join us on the Nepal Heritage Tour to make unforgettable memories.

Generally, due to bad weather conditions and poor visibility, flight delays or cancellation are likely to happen in mountain countries/regions. In such a case, we are not liable for any extra expenses or inconveniences. Since the weather of the mountain region is quite unpredictable, we suggest you arrange a minimum of 1 or 2 extra days (especially Everest region treks) so that you won’t miss your International flight. Further, we suggest you bring some extra cash to prepare for unforeseen circumstances.
Changes to your trip and price due to natural disasters, flight delay etc.

What makes this trip different ?
Trekking to Nepal is an online booking platform of Ace the Himalaya. Ace the Himalaya works closely with and is one of the main supporters of non-profit organization Sambhav Nepal.
Ace the Himalaya covers the administration cost of Sambhav Nepal as the staff working at Ace also help in admin work of Shambav Nepal. For instance: making proposals, collecting information for the related projects, visiting the project sites, coordinating the local governments/authorities etc. That’s why, Sambhav Nepal doesn't have their admin cost in the project it runs.
Furthermore, Sambhav Nepal provides support to people with needs such as education and health in villages of Gorkha through the children sponsorship program. We sponsor children for school which are conducted successfully in full collaboration with Ace the Himalaya and its sister organizations, Ace Holidays and Ace Xpeditions.
