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.

Everest Base Camp Trek, Rafting, Jungle Safari, and Pokhara Tour – The Ultimate Nepal Adventure

Overview

For travelers seeking the complete Nepal experience in 2026, this all-in-one Everest Base Camp tour package combines the iconic Everest Base Camp trek, white-water rafting on the Trishuli River, a Chitwan jungle safari, and a Pokhara sightseeing tour into one unforgettable adventure.

Why This Nepal Adventure Package Stands Out

  • Conquer thrilling Grade III–IV rapids on the Trishuli River
  • Spot Royal Bengal Tigers and one-horned rhinos in Chitwan National Park
  • Unwind on the shores of Phewa Lake in Pokhara with Annapurna as your backdrop

Q: What permits do I need for the EBC trek?

You will need a Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit and a TIMS (Trekkers' Information Management System) card. Nepal Himalayas Trekking handles all permit arrangements as part of your package.
