We invite you to join our 10-day Nepal Heritage Tour, which includes a mountain flight over the Himalayan Range to see incredible mountains including Mt. Everest. The tour covers all of Nepal’s Heritage Sites recognized by the UNESCO as the World Heritage Site. We start the tour with an hour’s superb mountain flight over the whole Himalayan Range.

The following day, we make a visit to the two medieval cities famous for their arts and architectures – Patan and Bhaktapur.
