Nepal

Dominated by the soaring snow-clad peaks of the Himalayas and blessed with fertile mountain valleys and sub-tropical lowlands, the Kingdom of Nepal boasts a rich diversity of topography and climate that has nurtured an intriguing variety of peoples, languages and traditions.

Trekking in the Annapurnas

There is a huge variety of treks to be enjoyed in Nepal, which can range from just a few days to several weeks for those who wish to really get off the beaten track. And there is a wide variety of accommodation ranging from classic camping treks where you stay in tents to staying in local lodges known as tea-houses or for those who prefer some luxury then there are some delightful mountain lodges.

Whatever the style of trek you choose experienced Sherpas will serve as your guides, interpreters, cooks and camp staff. Porters, horses or yaks will carry all your personal belongings, as well as food, fuel and camping equipment so that you need only carry what you might want during the day.

Trekking in the Nepalese Himalayas offers a truly sublime opportunity to see a very different and utterly stunning part of the world whilst meeting the enchanting local people in their beautiful mountain villages and experience a very different and enriching culture.

Bathe elephants in the Karnali River

To head down to the Karnali River with the camp’s elephants and their mahouts and help give them their daily bath is a very special and humbling experience. These magnificent creatures that have been part of camp life for so long are so gentle and serene and this experience offers the opportunity to get up close and personal with them and share a small part of their lives.

It is also possible to head out with them into the fields where the mahouts cut the grass for them to east back in the camp.

The best months to visit Nepal are either the Spring months of March to May when the skies are generally blue, the days are warm and the flowers and rhododendrons are out in bloom or the Autumn months of October & November when the skies are wonderfully clear offering great mountain views and the scenery is lush and green after the monsoon rains.

The Winter months of December to February are a lovely time to be in Nepal, but it tends to be much colder especially at night and some higher altitude treks can be blocked by snow. The Summer months of June to early September bring the monsoon rains so not a great time to visit.

"We felt superbly looked after by all the staff on the boat and the chef just got it all right - portions, variety, spiciness and a wonderful touch to be introduced to each dish with such pride. Mansoor was knowledgeable, polite and accommodating. He engineered all the trips, entertainment etc very well, anticipating our interests and needs. The camp facilities were great and what a spot! I felt wonderfully looked after the entire trip and importantly felt safe. There were smiling, welcoming faces wherever we went. Particularly outstanding was the lunch we had in the family home on our day trip out from Lake Dal. My many thanks go to the whole team."
Lewis Family - Kashmir
“We had a FLAWLESS trip. Loved every bit of it. The organisation on the ground was terrific, and we happily and easily provided feedback for Aitken Spence that seemed to tick “excellent” in each box. Such careful organisation allowed us really to enjoy all the different parts of the country - which we did, in spades. I honestly would so thoroughly recommend Sri Lanka to other families looking for a bit of adventure in a do-able way/space. Thanks again for making these memories for us.“
The C. Family - Sri Lanka: March
"Our trip was just fantastic, and we could not have enjoyed it more. Everything worked like clockwork and the organisation was first-class. We packed a lot in but the comfort of the road transport meant that the journeys in between were more relaxing than trying. The stand-out part of the whole trip was Chhatra Sagar... It was altogether a brilliant holiday. We are so grateful to you for all your expertise and organisation, and we arrived back home (freezing temperatures and run out of heating oil!) thinking where we should go next (once we have replenished the coffers…) With our best wishes, and our thanks again".
The L. Family - India: April
"Things have slightly calmed down since my return from India and I thought I must write to say thank you for the wonderful experience of Kerala. I am much richer for the experience and think about all the things we did often. It is all thanks to you that I can add Kerala to my memory bank".
