Off the beaten path

There are many ways to discover Nepal

Not every trip to Nepal has to follow a fixed itinerary. There are lesser-known treks, villages, nature parks and experiences that we particularly love, and that would hardly make sense to turn into a group departure with set dates.

That’s why we’ve gathered here some of our favorite suggestions: from Pikey Peak and the Gosain Kund lakes to the Chitwan jungle and the traditional villages of the Kathmandu Valley.

These are trips we build on request, tailoring the itinerary, duration and services to the time you have available and to how you want to experience Nepal.

And if you have something in mind that’s different from what you find on the site, tell us about it: we know this country well, and often the most memorable trips come about exactly this way.

Discover the most authentic Nepal

Alongside our group treks, we organize tailor-made itineraries for those who want to explore less-traveled routes, the nature of the Terai or the cultural heritage of the Kathmandu Valley. Itineraries can be adapted to your dates, the time you have available and the interests of the participants.
