These programs offer travelers ample time in Kathmandu’s historic valley to explore its cultural heritage before embarking on countryside walks. Treks lead through diverse scenic and tribal landscapes across Nepal’s 56,139 square miles. North of Kathmandu are Helambu, Langtang, and Ganesh Himal, as well as Lower Rolwaling, inhabited by Tamang and Sherpa communities amidst magnificent forests. The popular Khumbu region, home to Gokyo and Everest Base Camp, is known for its high peaks, beautiful monasteries, Sherpa people, and blue poppy flowers.
To reach these areas, travelers can take a short flight on a STOL aircraft to Lukla, the gateway to Everest. Pokhara, situated in one of the world’s most picturesque valleys, serves as the starting point for treks into the Annapurnas, Annapurna Sanctuary, Jomsom, Muktinath, Upper Mustang, and other scenic routes. The Annapurna region, where the brave Gurung people reside, offers accessible trekking routes and rich cultural experiences.
The remote far western region of Nepal remains pristine and undiscovered by tourists. Jumla, at 2,370 meters, is known as the “Wild West” due to its remoteness and challenging terrain, featuring virgin forests ideal for herb hunting. Rara Lake, dubbed the Queen of Lakes, is a breathtakingly beautiful area in far western Nepal, reflecting diverse cultural influences.
