Annapurna Sanctuary School Excursion - 11 days

Annapurna Sanctuary School Excursion

Satori Adventures has designed the Annapurna Sanctuary School Excursion package for students interested in learning about Nepal's Himalayas and its history, culture, and religion. This package focuses on must-visit places in Kathmandu, mountain flights, Annapurna Sanctuary Trekking, rafting, paragliding, and jungle safari.

Our tour begins with a one-hour scenic mountain flight where you can enjoy the breathtaking view of over thirteen highest snowy-capped mountains, including Mt Everest and over a hundred peaks above 6000m. On the same day, you will go sightseeing around Kathmandu, where you will visit UNESCO world heritage sites, Kapan Monasteries, and many other historically and religiously significant places.

After the sightseeing, we will take you to the Pokhara. The next day, you will start trekking to the Annapurna Sanctuary. The Annapurna Circuit Trek is a highly extended mountain trek globally and one of Nepal's best trekking adventures. The completion of the Annapurna trek takes around 20 days. However, there are other options available: the half Annapurna Circuit Trek, flying from Manang or Jomsom; visiting beautiful Tilicho Lake at the base of magnificent Tilicho peak as a part of half Annapurna Circuit Trek.

After completing the Annapurna Circuit Trekking, you will come back to Pokhara, yet another rare place for sightseeing. A mine of adventurous activities, Pokhara caters you to some exhilarating options like skydiving, paragliding, and bungee jumping.

Next, you will drive to Chitwan for a jungle safari. Elephant rides and jeep drives allow you to see wild animals like one-horned rhinos, Bengal tigers, and other rare species of birds and butterflies. You can also visit the elephant breeding center. Eventually, you will explore the Tharu culture, visiting the Tharu village and the Tharu Museum.

How to Book?

How to book holiday trip in Nepal?

Satori Adventures and Expedition aims at giving proper information to many travelers, trekkers and climbers who have some confusion regarding the booking process of the trip in Nepal.  Satori Adventures therefore desires to provide guideline for the first-time visitors or travelers so that they can comfortably start the process to book the selected package legally. Before starting the booking process we always advise our trekkers, travelers and climbers to intelligently check whether the company is genuine and whether they are fully safe to travel in the company’s guidance. We ask them to be acquainted with the company they want book their holiday trip with. Is the company genuine and authorized from Government of Nepal, Office of the Company Registrar, Department of Tourism and Civil Aviation, Nepal Rastra Bank ‒Central Bank of Nepal (authorized for foreign currency), Permanent Account Number (PAN), and the Department of Cottage & Small Industries).  Are they financially secured and environmentally conscious? We advise them to make sure about these formalities because there are some companies in Nepal that have been running business without abiding by the rules and regulation of the Government. Some companies were once registered but by now their licenses have already been expired and yet they have providing the services illegally.

On many occasions, Government of Nepal and Trekking Agency Association of Nepal have found that many foreigners’ tour operators, NGOs and INGOs have been involved in directly operating tours, trekking, and mountaineering holiday adventures without having government license and abiding by the Government rules. It has been also found that many individuals, freelance guides and porters have been arranging trips illegally by creating their own personal website. We have observed that many trekkers and climbers face a host of problems once they arrive in Kathmandu as they lack adequate information.  Many of them file complaints to Government of Nepal and Trekking Agency Association of Nepal for legal action such as the refund of the advanced payment. There is hardly any justice given to the cheated clients. Thus, so as to prevent all these probable problems we request our travelers to check the company before booking any trip to the Himalayas.

To conform and process your trip booking please follow these suggestions:

Please kindly submit Trip Booking Form when you confirm the trip with us. It will be easy for us to process for your trip conformation and prepare all legal processes and permit for the trip. If you have any query, always feel free to contact us at any time.  We always want to make sure our clients are well informed before conforming the trip. You are always advised to visit our website and related package for further information.
