Highlights

Have you ever wondered about the hidden world of Mushrooms tucked away in Nepal's breathtaking landscapes? Did you know that despite Nepal's incredible biodiversity, we've only documented around 1,150 mushroom species so far? But here's the exciting part – a whopping 147 are edible mushrooms among these. However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows – there are also around 100 poisonous species. So, while mushroom hunting promises excitement, it's crucial to tread carefully and learn from experts. Nepal's mushrooms aren't just about food; surprisingly, 73 species offer medicinal benefits. Our Mushroom Hunting Expedition package will take you to explore the hidden corners of Nepal's lush forests and picturesque valleys, where you'll have the chance to uncover the secrets of its fungal kingdom.

About Kathmandu

Kathmandu is Nepal's ancient, colourful capital, a valley city of temples, stupas and royal squares and the gateway to the Himalaya.

Kathmandu Durbar Square, the old royal square, is crowded with pagoda-roofed temples and palaces, and nearby lives the Kumari, the city's living child goddess. Thamel, the travellers' quarter, is a tangle of lanes selling trekking gear, prayer flags and handicrafts, busy with cafés and rooftop restaurants.

Top-ranked sights in Kathmandu: Namche Bazaar, Pashupatinath, Kathmandu Durbar Square (Basantapur).
