Uncovering Nepal's Cultural Traditions

On this cultural trip to Nepal, become acquainted with the key sights of Kathmandu and dig deep into their significance with private visits to artisan studios and monasteries. Get a good dose of nature bathing in the outdoor splendors of Pokhara before journeying to the remote region of Mustang, where ancient Tibetan traditions are thriving. Here, well off-the-beaten path and in the shadow of one of the world’s tallest mountains, revel in the luxuries of a truly unparalleled property, where the service, cuisine, and conservation commitments are as epic as the mountain views outside your window.
