Nepal
Nepal is a fascinating holiday destination. Within a single day one can fly past Mount Everest, pause amidst the palaces and temples of Kathmandu and then ride elephants through tropical jungles inhabited by native birds and wild animals.

We recommend basing yourself at the beautiful Lake Begnas Resort. This is the perfect spot for couples looking for a picturesque location where they can base themselves and then explore the fascinating countryside on half or full day treks or tours. The resort provides great flexibility - one partner can choose to relax if they wish - whilst the other can undertake easy one day treks/walks with a sherpa/guide. Both can then be driven to the fascinating market and various scenic spots on other days. Begnas Resort is located on Lake Begnas, known for its clear spring water and pristine lush surroundings. All rooms are stone chalets which overlook the tranquil waters of Begnas. There are beautiful ethnic villages scattered on the hillsides and the majestic snow-clad mountains form the background.
