September to November is the cool and dry autumn, and one of the best times to visit Nepal as the climate stabilizes and the monsoon rains have left the landscape vibrant green and the views spectacular. The stunning verdant landscapes following the rains are ideal for photographers looking for that perfect shot. Visibility is excellent, and so an ideal time to take on the highest mountain peaks on Earth. Autumn temperatures range between 15 and 24 °C(59-75 °F) in Kathmandu. Nepal's wildlife is worth exploring during the drier months. Chitwan and Bardia are two of the better protected national parks, and offer a fine chance to see rhinos, monkeys, rare birds and elephants. Nepal also celebrates the biggest Hindu festivals at this time, such as Dashain and Tihar, when the bright colors and the burning of incense form an assault on the sense.

Here is a small selection of the kind words our clients have said about us recently.
Our private jet was a very important part of our trip. Most of the legs were less than 30 minutes, compared to six to 10 hours if we traveled by road. Overall, we had a fantastic trip to a new country for us. Remote Lands never fails!
There was nothing provided by Remote Lands that was anything other than 1st class.
We wanted to visit hospitals, a nursing class, and a school classroom to interact with the local people, and Remote Lands was able to arrange all of this for us.
You are invited to Remote Lands’ signature Aman Jet Expeditions, in partnership with our friends at Aman. These are small group journeys designed for people who usually travel independently.
