An Experiential Vacation in Nepal

The small country of Nepal situated on India’s long northern arm is a tiny package brimming with lofty mountains, ancient temples, acres of verdant forest cover, and frozen glacial lakes. The nearly 1800 kilometres long border between the two countries traverses neatly through the exalted, several-millions-years-old Himalayan range and the fertile Indo-Gangetic plains, birthing some of the tallest summits in the world with an enviable and unique ecosystem. The echoing whispers of the mist contrasted with the clangs of temple bells are perhaps the two most recognised sounds synonymous with this ageless land.

Nepal’s aesthetics have also expanded due to a vast entourage of diverse cultures melting into an ever-welcoming pot of varied cuisines, languages, dances, and rituals. Hindu and Buddhist traditions co-exist with festival gatherings acting as pivotal conference points, peppered across its ancient sites, unifying the many factions of Nepal.

Vietnam with offbeat - This was our second trip with offbeat tracks and it was flawless. From planning to getting visa - everything was handled by the team perfectly and we have support throughout for any issue.

Very recently I had a tour agency which ditched me mid way whilst I was diving in Sri Lanka. To the greatest credit, I later opted for Off beat chaps and their personal and prompt intervention salvaged my trip within a day of contacting them. Their Lankan partners were equally amazing. They also took care of my special requests like local food and places which aren't on the tourist radar. Kudos to Vandana and the founder and her super helpful team
