Real Gap's Nepal Highlights
The City of Kathmandu

Mount Everest
Everest is part of the Himalayan range located between Nepal and Tibet, China; it's considered the highest mountain range in the world. The best way to experience Nepal is to take part on the Everest Expedition; this programme encompasses a 12 night epic journey to the Everest base camp with community volunteering, rafting and jungle trek. On your journey you will see the very best that Nepal has to offer, while giving local communities something back in return.
Pokhara
On the edge of the Pokhara Valley, it's here some of the most spectacular scenery in Nepal can be seen. The Seti River has dug incredible canyons into the floor of the Seti Gandaki Valley. These canyons are visible from high viewpoints and they are absolutely stunning.
In addition there are a variety of activities to choose from including teaching in schools, teaching in a monastery, learn Buddhism, teach at an orphanage and medical projects; have a look at our Nepal Teaching English Volunteer Programme.
