Full of excitement, we make our way to the vibrant and energetic city of Kathmandu and to the wonders of the mighty Himalayan Mountains. Within moments of arriving, the exotic Shangri-La ambiance of Kathmandu will begin to set in. With an Indiana Jones-like feeling, our first evening is free to wander the bustling, narrow-street tourist neighborhood of Thamel, a rare and exciting experience unto itself. Sample one of the numerous local restaurants, sit at an outdoor cafe and listen to a fantastic band, or browse through the abundant shops that line the narrow streets and supply inexpensive brand name mountain gear to the thousands of trekkers who pass through Kathmandu each year on their way to various destinations throughout the Himalayas.

Bright and early, before the late morning clouds begin to form, we transfer to the airport for an up-close and personal experience with the Mother of All Mountains; Mt. Everest. Climbing from the foothills of Kathmandu and up into the thinning air of the Himalaya, we pass over rice terraces that cling precariously to the extraordinarily steep hillsides and solitary villages that are nestled deep in the remote valleys. Finally, not long after takeoff, we reach the jagged snow capped peaks and begin our aerial tour of Mt. Everest and her majestic neighbors. After returning to Kathmandu, you can take an afternoon tour of this historic city, set out to explore the ancient streets of Thamel on foot, or simply relax in the comfortable gardens of the hotel.

Situated in the foothills of the Himalaya, on the shores of a picturesque mountain lake, we spend the next 4 days in the pleasant village of Pokhara.
