Post Lockdown Walking in Nepal: 12 days from £1595 per person

BASINGSTOKE, U.K. - Jan. 20, 2021 - PRLog -- As the vaccine programme gains pace and the light at the end of the tunnel grows ever bigger and brighter, now is the time to think about booking that bucket list trip to Nepal, a destination just launched by Corinthian Travel, initially with seven itineraries from 11 to 15 days in duration.

One itinerary already generating post lockdown interest, is the keenly priced, 12-day,  'Walking in Nepal (https://www.corinthiantravel.co.uk/destination/nepal-holidays/waking-in-nepal-holiday)'.

The trip was designed to explore the sublime Annapurna foothills in style, with easy to moderate day hikes over a period of four days, allowing you to enjoy astounding views of the Annapurna Himalaya, and discover quaint mountain-top villages.

Walking from one village to another, the trek follows a well-trodden mountain trail, with a private, experienced mountain guide, for the duration.

The scenic trail follows the course of the pristine Modi Khola River, taking you  through rhododendron forests, and with the terraced paddy fields of the Annapurna foothills, the sacred Machhapuchhre (Fishtail Mountain) 6900m, and the towering Annapurna 1 (8,091m) for company en route.

There will also be an opportunity along the way to gain an insight into the everyday life of the local Nepalis, and to learn how Gurung village was turned into an important recruitment hub for the Gurkha regiment.

Corinthian Travel's Walking in Nepal tour is suitable for all age groups, with daily average walking around four and a half to five hours in duration.

The Ker & Downey lodges, which are used as accommodation during the trek, enjoy stunning locations, with breath-taking mountain views, and feature spacious ensuite rooms with comfortable beds and hot water (unlike some other mountain lodges!).

The hand-picked, experienced guides will also ensure that you avoid trails usually followed by hikers, to reduce the chances of encountering other tourists!

The gentle nature of the trek and the relaxed pace makes the Walking in Nepal tour ideal for those seeking to discover the beauty of the Himalaya, without compromising on their creature comforts.

The holiday is best taken between October and April and costs from £1595 pp (two sharing a room).  This includes 11-nights' B&B (plus five lunches and five dinners), English-speaking local guides in Kathmandu, Pokhara and Bandipur, mountain guide during the trek, village walk at Kurintar, and all transfers and transportation.
