Why go on a family tour?
While travel allows families to strengthen their bonds, children benefit from new experiences, and adults get a deeper awareness of their surroundings.

Create a stronger bond
From picking on a place that has something for everyone in the family, such as our hand-picked 8 Nights 9 Days Kathmandu Around Tour, to preparing numerous activities that can be done together, collaboration and interaction are required. These preparations and certain proximity and closeness with one another can be continued. Not to mention the activities you'll participate in throughout the tour, which is a great way to share a deep relationship.
Someone to Speak With
When on a family tour, you don't have to worry about some stranger striking up a conversation with you, or about someone sharing that amazing sensation you're having while enjoying the sunrise from the mountain top. You will be accompanied by your family in your endeavour. There is no way you would feel homesick since you brought your house with you on this journey.
Engaging in Group Activities
Hiking, camping, and catching a mesmerising sunrise are all best done with your close ones. Your family tour in Nepal would be a priceless present that they would remember for the rest of their lives. So gift your loved one's memories rather than possessions.
Beneficial for Children
Travel teaches children the value of living in the present moment and embracing experiences above possessions. Not only that, but a new study reveals that it increases cultural awareness and academic performance. Travel stimulates them and provides them with new ideas and views that they may apply throughout their lives.
