Luxury Travel
to Nepal
The only Hindu Kingdom existing
till recently, Nepal, a country set in the Himalayas, has
been the subject of much fascination for its
culture, its natural setting and the relative
remoteness of the country. Luxury travel to Nepal
with Urbane Nomads revolves much around the luxury
access created to hidden kingdoms, remote places and
the luxury lodges in Nepal.
Based at the
luxury Hotel Dwarika's, one
of two World Heritage Award-winning sites in Nepal(
the other being the city of Bhaktapur) or, after
your initial introduction to Kathmandu, in the
Gokarna Forest Resort, set deep inside what used to
be the private hunting grounds of the Kings of Nepal
allowing for a suitable introduction to your trip in
Nepal.
Traditional
Nepalese dining at its best (and most ornate) can be
had at Dwarika's traditional restaurant which
employs mute servers dressed in traditional costumes
representing the ethnic minorities of Nepal.
Take part (as a player or
spectator) in the annual elephant polo chanpionship
near the Royal Chitwan National Park, stay in a
sensitively constructed and maintained safari lodge
to enjoy one of the best Asian safaris in the World
Heritage Site of the Royal Chitwan National Park.
Luxury travel in
Nepal, with its reputation as the exotic Himalayan
kingdom where devotees of Eastern exoticism flock
to, is always about adventure- from the camps in
Royal Chitwan National Park to white water rafting
in Pokhara, paragliding with hawks to elephant polo
in Chitwan.
Luxury
accommodation is similarly unique- the Dwarika's has
been hailed as a 'living museum', showcasing and
preserving a dying art and keeping alive traditional
skills at workmanship. The tented accommodation in
Royal Chitwan, whilst not luxurious in the absolute
sense is all about the luxury of experience, context
and setting.
