Guided trekking in Nepal on some of the world’s highest peaks
Hiking in Nepal is an unforgettable and deeply immersive experience. The Himalayas are home to eight of the world’s fourteen highest peaks, including Mount Everest. And their sheer scale is hard to put into words.
You’ll follow trails through deep valleys and beneath snow-capped peaks, passing monasteries, prayer flags and stupas along the way.
Many tours of Nepal start in the capital Kathmandu. Though several temples were damaged in the 2015 earthquake, ongoing restoration efforts have helped preserve the city’s layered history and culture. You can explore the ancient cities and sacred temples of the Kathmandu Valley, or transfer to the nearby hill town of Dhulikhel, known for its unobstructed mountain views.
The lakeside town of Pokhara offers activities like paragliding, mountain biking, kayaking and white water rafting. It’s a beautiful place to relax after exploring the rugged Annapurna massif, perhaps on the four-night Poon Hill Trek.
Any hike in the Everest region, officially known as Khumbu, feels like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You’ll have the towering Everest massif as your backdrop with rhododendron-scented trails, wood-and-stone villages and tea houses along the way.
Your hiking trip to Nepal will include handpicked accommodation, exclusive transfers and expert guides who share cultural insight, mountain knowledge and practical advice. Our expert travel designers are ready to plan your itinerary from scratch with every detail tailored around you

Where to go
Annapurna
From lush farmland and thick forests to arid desert and snow-capped mountains, the Annapurna region rewards hikers with consistently spectacular views. Its accessibility from Pokhara and availability of shorter routes make it ideal for time-limited travellers, but if you have a flexible schedule you can enjoy extended trekking, too.
