Overview

Imagine standing at 5,364 meters — flags snapping in the Himalayan wind, the Khumbu Glacier stretching before you, and the summit of Everest towering above. Then, days later, you're gripping a raft paddle on a roaring Himalayan river. Then tracking rhinos through a UNESCO jungle. Then sipping coffee beside a mirror-still lake with Annapurna glowing at dawn.

This is not a tour. This is Nepal — fully lived.

Nepal Himalayas Trekking presents the most complete Nepal adventure package of 2026: the legendary Everest Base Camp trek, white-water rafting on the Trishuli River, a Chitwan jungle safari, and a Pokhara lakeside tour — all in one seamless, expertly guided journey.
