Introducing our partner Apex Nepal Treks & Tours

We proudly announce to start a cooperation with a partner agency in Nepal.

We chose Apex Nepal Treks & Tours Pvt Ltd as our recommended sister company for round tours in Nepal, as this is an agency run by tour guides, similar to ours in Sri Lanka, Lanka Excursions Holidays.

Not surprisingly, Apex Nepal Treks & Tours first and foremost is a specialist for Himalaya trekking and mountaineering, but they also offer tours with hiking on less challenging routes nonetheless offering amazing views to the mountains.

What might be very appealing for our guests and friends who fell in love with the great variety of cultural and natural attractions of Sri Lanka - with many heritage sites being embedded in a green wilderness or in other scenic settings - is that Apex Nepal Treks & Tours offer a large choice of combined heritage and wildlife tours, too, particularly for those interested in Hindu and Buddhist culture or in jeep safaris. The Kathmandu Valley is crowded with ancient temples, seven places forming a World Heritage Site, and Chitwan National Park in a lower altitude already belonging to the Gangetic Plains is one of Asia's best jungle areas to observe rhinos. There are also tigers and leopards, though the latter are more difficult to spot than in Yala in Sri Lanka. A classical combination of Kathmandu's Heritage Sites and Pokhara's lakes and views to an eight-thousander and a hike at the foot of that Annapurna mountain massif and wildlife safari in Chitwan National park can be done within only 7 days (6 nights) on Apex Nepal Treks & Tours'  DIAMOND TRIANGLE TOUR. Just have a look! On request, we can send you their pdf-files of similar culture&nature itineraries that include more attractions on longer round tours (more overnight stays). Just contact us!

Find more information why the mountain state Nepal might be very attractive for fans of the island nation Sri Lanka in particular, by clicking here to our new introductory page, which also gives you a first impression of the large variety of travel itineraries on offer by Apex Nepal Treks & Tours.

New company address in Kandy

1/14/2019

0 Comments

 
Frequent readers of our Sri Lanka destinations website may have noticed, that we changed the title of the homepage to "Lanka Excursions Holidays - Kandy". The reason is the opening of our new headquarter in Kandy:

921/A Peradeniya Road, Kandy 20000

This means, you can find Lanka Excusions Holidays not only in Nuwan's hometown Mihintale in the Cultural Triangle and in Negombo near the Colombo International Airport, but also in the very centre of the island, the "hill capital", which is Sri Lanka's major destination for sightseeing tours.

In order to learn more about the cosy town and its major attractions, please visit our newly created Kandy top-12-page here...
