  • Should one decide to go on the trip of a lifetime, naturally one should go with the best.

  • And if that trip is to Nepal, then the best is Tiger Mountain Group and their 'Highlight Tour' through the foothills of the Himalayas, following in the fresh footsteps of the great and the good.
     
  • This luxury, five-star experience is popular with famous people and those who find exotic beach holidays a bit 'ho-hum', but the idea of hiking a little 'oh-no!'... this is the perfect balance of adventure and indulgence.
  • You will be the guests of the Tiger Mountain Group, who are, quite simply, the original and best in the business. Previously, they have arranged the 3-day 'New Royal Trek' section of this package for HRH the Prince of Wales. And, we gather Hillary Clinton and Steven Segal did something similar (though not, one imagines, all at the same time).
     
  • The full 9-night trip you are bidding on includes not only some of your drinks and meals, but your driving tours, elephant-back safaris(!), and whatever you want to do when you get there. Tiger Mountain Group actually own the whole kit and caboodle – jeeps, boats, ox-carts, elephants, the lot – so you can make as much use of their kit (or their caboodle) as you wish.

 

  • Your stay will include a night at the award winning Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge with its elegant and spacious rooms and spectacular panoramic mountain views…
     
  • Right, pay attention, this will be your itinerary: 
     
    • Day 1: Fly to Kathmandu, stay overnight at the Soaltee Crown Plaza.
       
    • Day 2: You might like to take the Mountain Flight (an optional extra) and then it's on for some sightseeing of Kathmandu City and Swayambhunath, then a tour of Patan City and Tibetan Refugee Camp

 

    • Day 3: Your second day of sightseeing will take you to Pashupatinath, Bodhnath and Bhaktapur city.
        
    • Day 4: After a good night's sleep at the Soaltee Crown Plaza you will fly off to Pokhara.  You will be met by your and transfered to the award winning Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge where you will spend the next two nights with a breathtaking view of Annapurna

    • Day 6:  The next two nights will be at the superb Tiger Tops Jungle Lodge with lots of wonderful jungle activities to choose from.
       
    • Day 8:  Your final night will be at Tiger Tops Tharu Lodge in the Chitwan area - where the elusive Royal Bengal Tiger is sometimes sighted! 

    • Day 9: Then it's back to Kathmandu by plane from Meghauly.  You will be met again and taken to the Soaltee Crown Plaza with the rest of the day at leisure before your farewell dinner in a Nepalese restaurant with lots of fabulous food, wine and local entertainment - a great way to finish off this splendid journey and spend your final night in Nepal.
       
  • The 'Highlight Tour' is ideal for anyone who enjoys adventure in small doses... the pampering, choices and five-star service is much more appealing! 
     
  • This is an incomparable combination of natural wonder and shameless luxury – a chance to feel like David Attenborough and David Beckham, all at the same time.

So bid now for this unique trip of a lifetime...
