Welcome to AST -- Nepal Tours --

Sightseeing tour in/around Kathmandu Valley
The Kathmandu Valley, the political, commercial and cultural hub of Nepal, is the first stop for the majority of visitors to the country. Originally known as the Nepal Valley and a separate kingdom in itself, it contains three fabled cities - Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur.
Each is an artistic exposition of graceful temples, elegant palaces, brick-paved courtyards and quaint streets.

We offer a variety of convenient half-day and full-day city tours with trained and experienced guides. The following are the main tours in Kathmandu:
~ Kathmandu City and Swayambhunath Stupa ~ Patan City and Tibetan Refugee Camp ~ Bhaktapur City ~ Pashupatinath Temple & Boudhanath Stupa ~ Dakshinkali Temple & Chobar gorge ~ Kirtipur City ~ Changunarayan Temple ~ Sankhu ~ Vajra Varahi ~ Panauti ~ Phulchowki ~ Godavari Botanical Garden ~ Nagarkot ~ Dhulikhel

Mountain Flight

Only awe-stricken silence can come close to matching the experience of going on a mountain flight to encounter the tallest mountains of this earth. It has become a popular tourist attraction in Nepal. Mountain flights appeal to all categories of travelers. For those who are restricted by time or other considerations from going trekking, these flights offer a panoramic view of the Himalaya in just one hour. Even those visitors who like the rigors of a trek still don't miss the opportunity to "conquer" the mountains in one fell swoop.
Sightseeing tour in/around Pokhara Valley
If Kathmandu is the cultural hub of Nepal, then Pokhara is its center of adventure. An enchanting city nestled in a tranquil valley (altitude 827-m); it is the starting point for many of Nepal's most popular trekking and rafting destinations. The atmosphere on the shores of Phewa Lake is one of excited vitality as hipster backpackers crowd the many bars and restaurants.

It is a place of remarkable natural beauty. The serenity of Phewa Lake and the magnificence of the fishtailed summit of Machhapuchhare (6,977m) rising behind it create an ambiance of peace and magic. The famous sights of Pokhara include:

~ Pokhara Old Bazaar ~ Phewa Lake ~ Mahendra Cave ~ Davis Fall ~ Begnas & Rupa Lakes ~ Tibetan Refugee Camp ~ Sarangkot ~ Pumdi-Bumdi ~ Seti Gandaki ~ Barahi Temple ~ Bindhyabasini Temple ~ Ghalchowk ~ Naudanda
Wildlife tours

While the high Himalayan makes up Nepal's northern region, the southern lowland known as the Terai is covered with dense tropical jungles teeming with diverse wildlife and exotic birds. Here you will find some of the most exciting safari destinations in the world. You will be going into deep jungle on elephant back or four-wheel drive vehicle to view wild animals in their natural habitat. Other thrills are canoe rides on the jungle rivers, nature walks, bird watching excursions and village tours.

Among the 14 national parks and wildlife reserves in the Kingdom, the Royal Chitwan National Park is the most popular safari destination. More than 43 species of animals are found in Chitwan. The endangered one-horned rhino, Royal Bengal tiger, Gharial crocodile, four-horned antelope, striped hyena and the Gangetic dolphin are the main attractions here.
It is easily accessible from Kathmandu 165 km overland, 25-minute flight to Bharatpur. Many adventurers also choose to go down by river raft. Minimum 2-nights stay is recommended.
