Creative Nepal

A seven-day journey for writers, photographers and artists combining a creative practice with cultural immersion in Kathmandu and Pokhara.

Best for: Artist, writer or photographer

Destinations: Pokhara, Kathmandu Valley

Overview

Built around a specific creative discipline rather than generic sightseeing, this journey pairs guided writing, photography or art sessions with time in Kathmandu and Pokhara's most visually and culturally rich settings. Group size stays small, and the schedule leaves real time for independent creative work, not just guided outings.
