Spend a trekking holiday in Nepal following in the footsteps of the greatest mountaineers, such as Reinhold Messner (who with Peter Habeler made the first ascent without oxygen up Everest), as you walk the Everest Base Camp trek. Visit the less frequented side valleys of Thame and Chhukhung, and climb Kala Pattar for amazing views of Everest.

Everest may be the most famous mountain in the world, but did you know that Annapurna was the first mountain above 8,000 metres to be conquered? Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal achieved this feat on 3 June 1950.

Why not take a trekking holiday in Nepal to see the Annapurna range? The Annapurna Sanctuary is encircled by soaring Himalayan peaks and the only approach follows the Modi Khola Valley up through forests of deciduous oak, rhododendron and bamboo. Admire the fishtail spire of Machapuchare and see if you fancy coming back to be the first person to make the summit of Fang.

For an easier walking holiday in Nepal, try our Annapurna Panorama trek. A four-day hike takes you through villages, forests, open meadows and settlements inhabited by Brahmin and Chhetri people. You'll also spend time in Chitwan National Park where you can take jungle walks, go down the river in dugout canoes and see how many of the resident 350 bird species you can spot.

The Kingdom of Mustang was only opened to trekkers in 1992. Although in Nepal, its land and culture is more like Tibet. See evidence of its ancient Buddhist heritage on our walking holiday as you trek past hermits' caves in the cliffs, distinctive chortens and mani walls of carved stones.

Nepal is not just a trekking holiday mecca - there is plenty to do for non-walkers. Take a cultural holiday and Discover Nepal for yourself from fascinating Kathmandu to the wildlife at Chitwan National Park. Wander around Kathmandu's bazaar, visit the Temple of Pashupatinath (Nepal's holiest Hindu shrine), take an elephant safari and see if you can spot the elusive tigers, and explore the countryside around Pokhara.

You can also explore Kathmandu on our cultural holiday Abode of the God-Kings. Afternoons are left free for individual sightseeing and there is plenty to visit. Perhaps you could take in the monkey temple of Swayambunath and see how fit you are by climbing up the 300+ steps as Buddha gazes over you. Or how about visiting the other royal cities of Patan and Bhaktapur? At the end of the tour, weather permitting, you have the option of taking a flight over the Himalaya mountain range. What a way to end your holiday in Nepal.

Kids will be fascinated with the Himalaya so take them on a family holiday in Nepal. Explore the bazaars, watch craftsmen at work, see life amongst the mountain people, see sunrise over the Himalaya, and for a taster of what it's like to be a mountaineer you have the option of a trek to an overnight camp. For all you wildlife lovers a visit to Chitwan National Park is included. What more could you want from a family holiday in Nepal?
