  Annapurna, Rivers and Rhinos
----------------------------------------------------------------
 
Your fun filled adventure to discover Nepal as much  possible, in short time starts with a flight to the picturesque city of Pokhara. On the trek, you will pass through the Gurung villages of Kalikasthan, Syaklung and Chisapani before descending to Begnas Lake. A 45km drive to the town of Damauli and you will be ready to take on the challenges of the Seti River. The word Seti, meaning ‘white’ derives from the river's colour that is a result of its course through limestone deposits. The rapids are friendly and the river has stretches of shallow, still waters where swimming is possible. We head into Nepal's Famous jungles at the Chitwan National Park - home to tigers, rhinos, sloth bears, leopards, crocodiles and over 400 species of birds. During the day, we venture into the jungle on elephant-back or on foot or by dugout to observe the abundant flora and fauna. Evenings are for sitting back to hearty meals and heartier stories from the jungles. Transfer back to the waiting vehicles on an elephant, Land rover or dugout canoes for the return to Kathmandu.
