Discover Nepal: A Small Country with Enormous Variety
Nepal sits between India and China, yet few countries pack so much into so little space. Within a few hundred kilometres you can move from subtropical jungle in the Terai plains, through terraced mid-hills and Newar, Tamang, Gurung and Sherpa villages, up to the glaciers and ice walls of the high Himalaya. The country is home to many ethnic groups, religions and languages, and it is widely known for its landscapes, its hospitality and the resilience of its people.
Wongchhu Peak Promotion is a Nepal tour company based in Baghawan Bahal, Thamel, Kathmandu. We design and run trekking, peak climbing, expedition, wildlife, cultural and adventure trips for solo travellers, couples, families, student groups and climbing teams. Because we operate on the ground in Nepal, you deal directly with the people who plan and guide your trip.
Why Travel to Nepal
The world's highest mountains. Nepal holds Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth, and shares or contains several more of the planet's 8,000-metre giants, including Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, Makalu, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu and Annapurna. Together these peaks make Nepal the centre of world mountaineering.
Trekking for every level. Whether you want a gentle four-day hill walk or a three-week high-altitude crossing, there is a Nepal trek to match your fitness, schedule and budget. Living culture and sacred places. From Hindu temples and Buddhist stupas to monasteries and village festivals, spiritual life is part of everyday Nepal. Wildlife and nature. National parks protect rhinos, tigers, elephants, rare birds and Himalayan species such as snow leopard habitat in the high valleys. Adventure on land, water and air. Rafting, canyoning, paragliding, mountain biking, zip-lining and scenic helicopter flights are all on offer.
Nepal's UNESCO World Heritage Sites
Nepal has ten heritage sites listed by UNESCO, grouped into four World Heritage properties:
- Kathmandu Valley (seven monument zones): Kathmandu Durbar Square, Patan Durbar Square, Bhaktapur Durbar Square, Swayambhunath (the Monkey Temple), Boudhanath Stupa, Pashupatinath Temple and Changu Narayan Temple.
- Lumbini: the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha.
- Chitwan National Park: a lowland wildlife reserve famed for one-horned rhinoceros and Bengal tiger.
- Sagarmatha National Park: the home of Mount Everest, known as the "Top of the World."
Our Kathmandu City Tour and Kathmandu Valley Tour cover the main heritage monuments with a local guide.

Best Time to Visit Nepal
- Spring (March to May): rhododendrons in bloom, clear mornings and good conditions for trekking and the main expedition season.
- Autumn (September to November): stable weather and excellent mountain views. This is the peak season for trekking.
- Winter (December to February): cold at altitude but clear skies. Good for lower-altitude treks, cultural tours and Terai wildlife.
- Monsoon (June to August): green and quiet in the hills. Rain-shadow regions such as Upper Mustang and Dolpo stay drier and are popular in this season.
