Comfort should not usually be seen as an end in itself here in Nepal, and yet the arrangements for accommodation and in-country travel are the very best of their type.

Here are the cacophony and carvings of temples and stupas, the profane music and dance of wild and colourful festivals and the enchanted mantras and the Thangkas of Buddhist fine art.

However all that is a bit of a mouthful, so we best describe our efforts simply as PURE ADVENTURE.
