For those yearning adventure and more dramatic views than what the Kathmandu valley has to offer, picturesque Pokhara and its mountain lake under a looming wall of peaks is a natural progression. Take a four day trek through steep, lush hill country, with outstanding views of the Annapurnas and Machhapuchhre. Later embark on an exhilarating raft trip down the Trisuli river, emerging near Chitwan National Park for two thrilling days of jungle activity; a fitting end to a fun Nepal adventure.
