High in the Himalaya, beyond the Annapurna range of snow covered mountains, lies the Kingdom of Mustang, for many the lost Shangri la, and a place of pilgrimage. Due to weather conditions, this was Steve Carver’s second solo attempt to get there by old motorcycle. Day One, and I found myself staring at a lonely […]

The pursuit of happiness has long been seen as life’s ultimate goal, but is this true? To describe life’s primary objective as ‘to be happy’ is an overly simplified answer to a very complicated question.

As many who’ve traveled with us to Nepal will know, on our tour we visit the birthplace of the Buddha, and in this spiritual couple of days; we explore how to create more happiness in our lives – regardless of any religion. We’ll be led by our lovely Buddhist monk on this part of the holiday […]

Bring me sunshine! Whilst we grin and bear the wind and rain, here is a picture from our holiday to Nepal last October.  Here some of the group are whizzing by on old Nepalese bicycles as they tour the birthplace of the Buddha. It’s warm and sunny and the exercise was good after a guided […]

A perfect ‘5 day weekend’ would […]

Many of you might had seen that Prince Harry is enjoying a holiday in Nepal, which is now firmly open for tourists.  The prince has visited Kathmandu and ancient Bhaktapur, as well as the jungle. More recently he’s been in the Himalaya. All these places we visit on our tour to Nepal with Angel Holidays. In fact, he’s been […]

The Maharajas, many of whom enjoyed their relationship with the British, saw the vehicle not only as an ultimate status symbol but as a recognition of this allegiance. This interesting short film follows the Maharaja of Udaipur – where our group spends three nights […]
