Section II - A
Educational and Executives' Hobby Tours
It is well-established that one cannot earn real knowledge without traveling. Travel also can enrich wisdom and develop logical thinking faculties and skills. With its great heritage and extremely diverse topography, the country of Nepal can be one of the best school of learning in the world. A journey to Nepal is a journey to the world apart. You will be in the land of the mighty Himalayas, which for centuries have not only captured the dreams and aspirations of man, but have also given birth to innumerable legends and myths. Nepal is also a feast of majestic temples, stupas and other holy shrines. Allow us to show you, the fascinating flora and fauna of this magical land, along with Royal Chitwan National Park, which is regarded as the best in Asia and holds the place of pride in World Heritage List. Lumbini, Deaughat and Janakpur are quite close from Chitwan and are interesting for culturally oriented students and tourists. Very rich, one-day study or hobby trek to the South-Western Part of Annapurna Conservation Area is unique and most rewarding. In association with very reliable trekking agency, we have planned your tour in the absolutely safe areas only, in this scientific, and cultural hobby-cum-study program.
NOTE: For both Executives' Hobby Tours and Educational Tours, food and activities will be exactly the same. The Executives' Hobby Tour clients will be provided with 3-star standard hotel rooms in Kathmandu and Deluxe rooms with A/C and attached bath rooms with bath tubs in Tiger Camp. The Educational Tour groups will be offered tourist standard hotel and resort rooms with attached bath rooms with fans.
