Nestled high in the Himalayas region, Nepal is a picture of perfection with magnificent snow-capped mountains, vast rolling plains and mysterious forested valleys. This beautifully diverse terrain not only makes it one of the most stunning destinations on earth but also makes it ideal for trekking. This is a great chance for travellers to observe the extraordinary Nepalese culture and will provide endless opportunities for you to practice your new language skills. On top of that, you will be spending two days whitewater rafting on the crystal clear waters of one of Nepals superb rivers, where you can swim, relax and take in your incredible surroundings. But what makes this experience really special is your time living with a local family where you will have the chance to get right to the heart of the local culture. This is a rare opportunity to become more than a tourist, to begin to understand a culture, a country and its people from within.
