BREATH-TAKING VIEWS
There are fewer more remote spots on the planet, and it is difficult to imagine one with a more breath-taking collection of views. But reach the heights of Tomijong Lodge on your tailor-made holiday to Nepal and you’ll find the journey eminently worthwhile, and immensely rewarding in its own right.
After an hour’s drive from Pokhara to Lumle – stopping frequently to give your camera a thorough workout amongst the phenomenal panoramic views of the Annapurnas – you hike for around 45 minutes to Chandrakot. Here you pause to take in sweeping views of Annapurna South and the sacred and unclimbed Machhapuchhare, or Fishtail Mountain. Tomijong Lodge is just another 45 minutes away, on a winding trail through a picturesque forest. The views alone are worth the walk.

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
