Hidden Himalayas & Wild Tigers in Nepal

A mesmerising country of unique culture, powerful mountains, ancient temples, and rare wildlife, Nepal is a country of awe-inspiring wonder. In the heartlands of the Himalayas, extraordinary hiking experiences await, whilst in the dense jungle, tigers roam wild and free. Your trip will be filled with traditional experiences and beautiful locations bursting with the distinctive Nepalese culture.

Happy House

To begin your Nepali adventure, fly by helicopter up into the Himalayan foothills, taking in spectacular vistas of the mountains towering below you. Arrive in Phaplu and check-in to the exclusive Happy House, once home to Sir Edmund Hillary. As you settle into your new serene surroundings, enjoy a traditional Sherpa lunch served in the garden with stunning views across the Himalayas.

Mustang

Discover the ancient walled city of Mustang, a region secluded amongst the mountains and an independent country until just a few decades ago. Lying in the shadows of the Himalayan mountains, Mustang is a vast valley of colourful canyons and arid deserts. Pelorus has gained exclusive access to this hidden kingdom of which only a privileged minority can access. Trek to this mystical kingdom as you travel through mesmerising landscapes, beautiful monasteries, and local villages, discovering culture and history that is unknown to most. Visit monasteries atop desolate ridges and drink tea amongst welcoming locals in charming villages.

Narayani River

After breakfast beneath the mango trees, prepare to embark on a private safari on the Narayani River. Sitting inside a hand-crafted boat, keep your eyes peeled for a variety of birdlife and wildlife including the gharial crocodile and its more sinister relative, the marsh mugger. This afternoon, set out on foot through jungle paths as you get closer to the wildlife in their natural habitats. By sunset, return to the Narayani river on foot as you walk alongside the lodge’s resident elephants. Arriving at the river, enjoy sundowners whilst you watch the elephants bathe and frolic in the shimmering waters. This evening before dinner, you will be treated to a traditional Nepali dance performance characterised by brightly coloured costumes and infectious rhythms.
