Kathmandu Walking Tours 2024/2025

“Highly recommended. By far the most varied trek I've ever done and excellent for gradual acclimatisation. Starting from around 600m, the heat (30degC) and almost tropical lowland scenery was quite unexpected and we passed some beautifully quaint Nepali villages surrounded by terraced hillsides, padi fields and banana trees. The route follows the Buri Gandaki River Valley for the first week, which at times steepens and narrows to form a spectacular gorge with cascading waterfalls. You cross some amazing high suspension bridges over the river. As you climb gradually higher the vegetation changes to bamboo thickets, rhododendron and alpine forest and eventually you get above the treeline, where yak pastures, stark hillsides and snow-capped mountains dominate. The villages and people themselves also change as you near the Tibetan border. Crossing the Larke Pass (over 5000m) is a gradual ascent on undulating moraine the best mountain views are from the second summit (past the prayer flags) - save enough energy for the long descent!”

“This is a fantastic trek through scenery varying from: farmland, forests of pine trees, walking along river gorges beside foaming rivers, through villages full of character and smiling children and finally beside amazing snow clad high mountain peaks. All of which we did with very few other trekkers.”

“Nepal was an amazing country with such diversity and so much culture to learn about. Seeing the mountains on the trek was a huge highlight. Its worth understanding that being in the mountains is unpredictable so the weather can change quickly & mountain views can vary too. If people feel the cold, they should consider bringing heat pads & plenty of layers to use in the tea houses. Changing money at the airport was the best value & ease although ATMs were available in the cities .A walking pole was essential on the trek as was very helpful while descending the many steps especially after rain. Our guide Udaya was very knowledgeable & able to assist us in any way needed throughout the trip. We felt very safe everywhere we travelled. Our group really got on well which helped to have a very relaxed & enjoyable time . There was so many amazing highlights, watching sunrise over the Annapurna range, meeting a rhino on our nature walk, white water rafting, colourful temples & very genuine locals.”
