Best Time for Family Treks in Nepal

Nepal's ideal time for family treks is Autumn (September to November) and Spring (February to May). The pleasant weather during this time of the year excites the trekkers and enchants them with clear views of mountain ranges. Additionally, off-season (monsoon and winter seasons) family trek is also possible if planned cautiously.

However, we would like you to get a brief idea of what each season looks like in Nepal.

Spring (February to May)

Spring is an incredible season for families to enjoy the mellow and warm climate, which makes the trekking journey with your family more fun. Also, a time to witness the beauty of rhododendron, which covers the forest with pink blossom. The weather is ideal, with clear skies and flickering mountains. Indeed, the right time or your children to learn about the local flora and fauna of the region.

Monsoon/summer (June to August)

The monsoon season might be better than the other seasons (Autumn and Spring). However, if you are considering small hikes in Nepal, then the season is all right as it gives a perfect getaway for your children during summer when nature is at its best, with lush green meadows, flora, and fauna.

Autumn season (September to November)

Autumn is the most chosen time of the year by trekkers in Nepal because of the favorable weather conditions and beautiful mountain views. The autumn season in Nepal is moderate, with warmer days and chilly nights, a weather condition that best suits most families to go on a trekking journey.

Winter (December to February)

Winter can be a bit challenging for family treks due to extreme weather conditions. Therefore, trekking to higher altitudes is not wise if you are trekking with small children as the temperature may go down below minus degrees, making it difficult for minor children and older people to cope with the extremity of the weather.

Difficulty Level of family treks in Nepal

Although all of the above family treks are family-friendly and attainable. However, it is significant to consider the factors listed below-

1. Altitude and Geography

The family treks mentioned above may have a convenient route. However, it is significant to keep in mind the altitude and topography of the region if you are going on a family trek. And also, daily elevation gains of the family, as mentioned above, treks are carefully set and designed by the Nepal Hiking Team.

2. Age and Health of your Kids

Family treks include many considerations when traveling with your children and children below five years; you can hire a porter to make your trekking journey easy and enjoyable. Also, for children above five years old, you need to think of a trekking itinerary that best suits the need of your children and other family members—maintaining constant health checks while on a trekking journey is also essential. It would help if you undertook the necessary measures to mitigate the child's or family’s safety and health risk.

3. Trekking Distance

The longer the trek distance, the harder it might be for kids and older people. So, it is crucial to have a good knowledge of the trail and tailor it according to the favourability of all age groups.

Indulge your family in a solitary walk in the forest of pink blossom and the lap of the Himalayas. Seizing beautiful moments with your loved one is simply priceless. And that's why we, Nepal Hiking Team is here to take care of the family trek with its best family trekking packages.

For the best suitable itinerary, then we will assist you in organizing the trek.

Nepal is a country that always has more to offer the adventurous people, some of its most hostile terrain. There are trails beyond Everest Base Camp (5,364m) and the Great Himalayan Trail, a broad trail route covering most of Nepal. However, most family trekking with young kids is safe under an altitude of 4,000m within 3-10 days of the trek. Trekkers can personalize excursions and tours as per their preferences. Trekkers appreciate the opportunities to observe local cultures, festivals, and lifestyles of people in the Himalayas. Here's a quick brief on the Five Best Family Treks to do in Nepal.

Everest Base Camp Trek

Everest Base Camp Trek is one of the most popular treks in Nepal, which could be a great family adventure. Autumn (Sep-Nov) and spring (Feb-May) seasons are the best time for the family trip. The stable weather and pleasant temperature at this time in the Everest region excite most trekkers. However, an off-season (monsoon and winter) trek is also possible if adequately prepared before the hike. Trekkers should be careful about their adaptability in high elevations and have a standard insurance package for this trek. Accommodations on this trail are simple lodges with basic facilities and foods with a variety of Nepalese, western, and Chinese cuisine. Meals are expensive because porters transport or carry everything up there.

Moreover, this trek highlights the panoramic view of Mt. Everest alongside Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Pumori, and Cholatse. Rich ecosystems, wildlife, the Sherpa community's lifestyle, and people's incredible hospitality enhance your trip. Hence, Everest Base Camp is a fantastic family trek to experience the grandeur of the great Himalayan ranges.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Annapurna Base Camp Trek is probably the second most trekked route in Nepal. Trek with family to the Annapurna region is the best choice as it is less harsh than Everest Base Camp. Spring and Autumn are the best months for a trip to the Annapurna region. Annapurna region has an unpredictable climate with the risk of altitude-related difficulties, so proper preparation is essential before the trek. Accommodation in the Annapurna region is famous for tourist-friendly lodges and teahouses. Meanwhile, food costs are varied on this trail as it will be cheaper when the trek starts and costly at a higher altitude.

This trek generally presents views of giant mountains like Annapurna I, Dhaulagiri, Hiunchuli, and other peaks of the Annapurna range. The most pleasant moment is the varied wildlife encounters of Himalayan Thar, monkeys, and birds while walking through the Sinuwa-Himalaya jungle. Also, trekkers can visit traditional Gurung villages, local people, and their cultures. Indeed, this trek is the best family trek to make remarkable memories around beautiful places in the Annapurna region.

Mardi Himal Trek

Mardi Himal Trek is a popular short trek in the east Annapurna region that offers vast natural faces. The trekkers can spy on stunning views of Annapurna I, Machhapuchhre, Mardi Himal, and other peaks from Mardi Viewpoint. Any moderately fit person of all age groups can easily do this trek. Autumn and spring seasons have excellent climates with a clear sight of glorious mountains everywhere on the trail. Rhododendrons and oak trees are all over the course at this time of the year.

The panoramic views of the mightiest mountains with an unhindered sunrise and sunset are a unique attraction of this trek. Likewise, trekkers can experience the lifestyle of the Gurung people and their cultures in local villages. This trek is a great family escape into the Himalayas' lap for an enjoyable trip with loved ones.

Ghorepani Poonhill Trek

Ghorepani Poonhill Trek is one of the best family treks in Nepal in a short time and budget. It is also known as the Annapurna Poonhill Trek, an average 5-10 days long journey. While maximum height gain remains under 3,210m, it is a more leisurely trek with rare altitude-related difficulties. Autumn and spring season are the best seasons for this trek. However, this trek is easily accessible throughout the year except in the monsoon. These amusing trails of the Annapurna region take across rich natural habitats, wildlife, local cultures, and lifestyles. Food and accommodation are more tourist-friendly as the transportation system is close to this trail.

Poonhill (3,210m), a hill station near Ghorepani, is this trek's ultimate attraction. This hilltop gives you breathtaking views of Annapurna I, Machhapuchhre, Dhaulagiri, Hiunchuli, and other distinct peaks. Furthermore, this viewpoint offers a delightful view of sunrise and sunset that will make your family trip unforgettable.

Everest Panorama Trek

Everest Panorama Trek features the joy of being close to the highest mountains in the world. Moreover, this trek presents the Tibetan religious community, the monastery of Tengboche, and the rich Sherpa culture. The impressive views of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and the most beautiful Ama Dablam from Everest View Hotel are undeniable.

This expedition is short in days, and the maximum height gain will be only 3,860m. Therefore, altitude sickness would not be a significant problem on this trek. Other benefits of this trip are famous lodgings and assorted meals. This trek is made for families to have a superb experience amidst exotic mountains in the Everest region.

Why trek with Family in Nepal?

A trip with family is a lovely experience in itself. Family Treks in Nepal is probably ideal for presenting your family and youngsters to culturally varied trade. Consequently, it can give you a great occasion to discover various cultures, languages, and ways of life in the Himalayas. There will be some risks, like altitude sickness, that can even get serious, so treks above 4,000m aren't suggested for kids under six years. Trekkers can personalize trek programs as per their choice, flexibility, and time in Nepal.

Best Time for Best Family Treks in Nepal

Choosing the right time to go on a family trek in Nepal is crucial for an enjoyable and safe experience.

The best times for family treks in Nepal are during the pre-monsoon spring months and the post-monsoon autumn months. Here's a closer look:

Spring (March to May)

Weather : Spring brings warm temperatures and gradually melting snow, making high-altitude paths accessible. The weather is generally clear with occasional rain showers, especially in May.

Advantages : This season is famous for its blooming rhododendrons and other wildflowers, particularly in the lower altitudes, which add spectacular colors to the trek. The visibility is good, offering stunning views of the snow-capped peaks.

Considerations : Late spring can get quite warm at lower altitudes and might bring pre-monsoon showers, making some trails slippery.

Autumn (September to November)

Weather : Autumn is considered the best trekking season in Nepal due to its stable weather and mild temperatures. The skies are clear, offering excellent visibility of the Himalayan range.

Advantages : Post-monsoon, the landscapes are lush and vibrant. The air is clean and fresh, and the visibility of the mountains is at its best. The major festivals of Dashain and Tihar fall during this period, offering a cultural feast.

Considerations : Autumn is the peak trekking season, so trails can be crowded, and teahouses may require advance booking. Planning ahead is crucial to ensure accommodation and a more serene experience.

Other Seasons

Summer/Monsoon (June to August) : Marked by heavy rains, landslides, and leeches on the trails, making trekking less favorable. However, the Mustang and Dolpo regions, which lie in the rain shadow of the Himalayas, remain viable options.

Winter (December to February) : Characterized by cold temperatures, especially at higher altitudes, making some treks like the Thorong La pass in Annapurna Circuit risky. Lower altitude treks can still be enjoyable, with fewer tourists and serene landscapes.

Tips for Family Treks

Book in Advance : During peak seasons, ensure you book your flights, guides, porters, and accommodations well in advance.

Gear Up : Regardless of the season, weather in the mountains can be unpredictable. Pack appropriate gear, including warm layers for evenings and mornings, waterproof clothing for spring, and sun protection.

Types of family treks in nepal , basic or luxury trek.

Basic treks are typically taken by those seeking a more rustic experience. This type of trek requires little equipment, offering an authentic opportunity to explore the remote wilderness and villages. Adventure-seekers taking basic treks will benefit from Nepal's idyllic countryside and spectacular mountain views. Basic trekkers will be exposed to breathtakingly beautiful nature, clean, fresh air, and a peaceful atmosphere. Glimpses of wildlife and fascinating cultural interactions with locals make these treks an unforgettable experience.

In contrast to basic treks, luxury trekking offers a different kind of experience. While an adventurous spirit is still necessary, luxury treks can provide many more amenities than basic treks. Luxury treks involve experienced guides and luxury accommodations such as camping lodges or deluxe tea houses. Trekkers will also have access to stylish eateries and high-end toiletries. Sometimes, family members can even take helicopter trips and enjoy professional catering services.

Traveling luxuriously gives you, and your family added convenience and comfort. But you will undoubtedly have to pay a higher cost to do so.

Ultimately, the choice between basic or luxury trekking depends on the family's preferences. Those seeking a more daring journey, something off the beaten path, a connection to nature, and simplicity should take up basic trekking.

Those seeking a higher level of comfort and convenience should consider luxury trekking. With either option, Nepal's picturesque landscape and fascinating culture make for a memorable family trekking experience.

Organized and Unorganized Family Trekking

Exploring the great outdoors on a trekking adventure can be full of thrilling surprises. No matter which type of trekking you choose, guided or independent trekking.

Independently planning your journey offers the freedom to tailor your trek to your needs, while joining an organized group provides local guides' support, structure, and knowledge. Consider both options when determining the best way to reach your desired goals and enjoy the adventure.

Independent trekking involves going on the mountain trails and setting out on an adventure with only the haziest idea of where to go and when you'll get there. This type of trek offers a sense of freedom and unconstrained exploration that only an independent experience can offer. One major benefit to independent trekking is discovering hidden or unknown trails that may not be known or well-traveled by organized tour groups. This could mean a unique and visually stunning experience awaits around each corner.

On the other hand, organized treks can offer numerous advantages to the beginner or experienced trekker as they are arranged through reputable tour agencies. With an organized trek, explorers can be sure that all the necessary preparations and essential equipment have been taken care of, allowing for an effortless and seamless trek. With the assistance of a guide, tour members can be sure of navigating safe travel routes and can take advantage of the knowledge of the surrounding area that a guide provides. Additionally, an organised trek eliminates many logistical considerations, such as lodging and transport, allowing for a better-quality experience.

Distance and Difficulty

Trekking is one of the best ways to encounter the finest mother nature of Nepal. No matter if it is a short hike or a long walk along the different routes. A trek can be an incredible way to take in amazing views and appreciate the grandeur of the outdoors before setting off on a trekking trip with your family. However, it's important to carefully consider the type of trek most suited for your group.

In Nepal, trekking routes are typically measured in days or weeks rather than hours. If you and your family are inexperienced in trekking in Nepal, selecting a relaxed pace trail is advisable. Look for trails that stretch over multiple days with plenty of rest stops and breathtaking scenery. It is also critical to be mindful of the altitude fluctuations and terrain types you will encounter. You should guarantee that the trek is not overly challenging for your family.

Nepal, with its most challenging and majestic peaks, has been included in the Himalayas region. This makes trekking there a gratifying experience while visiting. A family of adventurers can safely and effectively go on a journey that matches their talents and objectives with careful planning and preparation. Evaluate the degree of difficulty of the various possibilities before beginning a trip and choose the best route depending on the ages and skills of the family members.

Duration is a crucial element that demands careful consideration when planning a trip. For example, the two most famous treks, Annapurna Circuit and Everest Base Camp treks in Nepal require a generous three-week timeframe. Some well-known shorter treks, such as the Jomsom-Muktinath journey or the Mardi Himal Base Camp trek, take roughly five days. These shorter paths provide a more practical option for a family with limited time for their adventure. The lengthier walks offer an alternative for families who wish to spend more time outside.

The difficulty level of a trek in Nepal is of great importance, in addition to how long it lasts. It may range from simple to more challenging, generally based on the age and physical fitness of the people participating. For example, the Annapurna Circuit is typically classified as moderate-difficult, with an elevation gain of 3700m, daily walks of up to 11 hours, and ascents of steep, rocky highways. Shorter treks are easy to moderate, with a traditional difficulty level usually ranging from 6-7 hours daily.

Parents considering taking their family on a trek in Nepal often need to pay more attention to the likelihood that their kids might not be prepared to tackle such a challenging expedition.

Kids aged below 12-14 might not be equipped to handle an adult-level speed. They may not possess the physical strength or experience needed to handle larger inclines or declines. Moreover, they could become weaker or fatigued and experience health repercussions.

Similarly, altitude can be a huge risk for younger children, and altitude sickness is not recommended. Furthermore, children can often be challenged to stay motivated while trekking and be more vulnerable to extreme temperatures, causing a greater risk than adults would face.

Altitude and Geography

When selecting the perfect family trek in Nepal, the altitude and geography of the route are two essential elements to bear in mind. After all, these two factors will greatly influence the overall experience, so it's vital to pick a trek suitable for your family's age and well-being.

Young children and toddlers require special consideration regarding high-altitude trekking, as their bodies are susceptible to mountain sickness . The ideal trekking altitude should fall within 2500-3500 meters for people of any age group. Anything above this can present a risk of altitude sickness. Several trekking routes below 3500 meters in Nepal make the perfect choice for a family trip.

The geography of the trekking route is another important aspect to consider before starting your journey. You want to select an area that is easy to walk, with steady paths that don't involve too much steep climbing. Steep descends and ascends with loose stones, or steep downhill river crossings can be dangerous and tiring, making the trekking journey difficult for even the most experienced trekkers. Trails with flat stretches of land and gradual ups and downs should be preferred as they don't require as much effort and won't tire out your children.

Planning a family trip in Nepal can be an excellent way of bonding with your family. But choosing the wrong route could quickly become a real challenge. It is essential to consider the altitude and geography of a trekking route when selecting a family trip in Nepal. By taking into account the age and health of your family members and avoiding routes with steep climbs and high altitudes, you can arrive prepared and take full advantage of the chance for a great family experience.

Customise Family Friendly Itinerary

When trekking in Nepal with families, people can opt for various itinerary types. One of these types is the customized and friendly itinerary, designed to provide a personalized experience.

This journey allows trekkers to customize their getaway, allowing them to craft an outing they can genuinely savor to their heart's content. By creating their itinerary, trekkers can ensure their trip is tailored to their desires and experience the utmost fulfillment.

Customized and friendly itineraries in Nepal provide families with flexible tour options.

With a friendly itinerary, local hosts can provide information about the region's history, religious beliefs, and customs of its people. This can be a great learning experience for the whole family.

Furthermore, customized itineraries can be designed to ensure safety is paramount during the trek. A friendly itinerary can give trekkers a sense of security and allow them to contact local organizations should anything go wrong easily.

Exploring Nepal with one's family can be hugely satisfying, but it's important to consider each family member's different ages and fitness before setting out. Unique options are available for those affected by age or health that can provide for a more comfortable trek.

Families with young children don't have to sacrifice a great introduction to the Himalayan region. Annapurna and Everest's region offers the perfect mix of mild difficulty and lush, breathtaking views of the Annapurna range. Traveling various terrains while rarely reaching dizzying heights, this trek is the ideal way to venture into the mountains and experience their magnificence.

Age limits should be imposed for younger family members when trekking in Nepal. This is because the temperatures and altitude of the region will be challenging to handle, especially for elders and young children.

While younger children should be actively discouraged from going on extended treks, exercising precautions for older adults is also essential. Senior citizens should consult with their family doctor before venturing into high altitudes. In the case of any sort of existing medical condition, they should always put safety first.

The health factor also comes into play regarding trekking in Nepal. Nepal's high altitudes can cause altitude sickness, which can be pretty serious.

While trekking to a higher elevation, some family members can experience AMS, whose symptoms include nausea, dizziness, and headaches. To help your body adjust to the environment, bring ample water and be sure to rest frequently if you are elderly. Likewise, don't delay in seeking medical assistance if your symptoms worsen.

Preparing for your family trek.

A successful family trek in Nepal requires careful planning and preparation. Here are some crucial aspects to consider when organizing your adventure:

Choosing the Right Trek:

When planning a family trek in Nepal, it's essential to select the appropriate trail that accommodates the needs and abilities of all family members. Here are some factors to consider when choosing the right trek:

Difficulty level:

Assess the fitness and experience level of all participants, including children, and select a trek that matches their abilities.

Family-friendly treks typically feature moderate difficulty levels, well-maintained trails, and fewer steep climbs, ensuring that even younger children can participate and enjoy the journey.

Research the trail conditions, daily walking hours, and physical challenges involved in each trek to make an informed decision.

Consider the time you have available for the trek and the stamina of the participants.

Shorter treks (4-7 days) are usually more suitable for families with younger children or those with limited time for vacation.

Ensure that the chosen trek allows for adequate rest days and acclimatization stops, especially if it involves higher altitudes.

Choose a trek with a manageable maximum altitude to minimize the risk of altitude sickness for you and your family members.

Lower-altitude treks (below 4,000 meters) are generally recommended for families, especially those with young children or members who have not had previous experience trekking at high elevations.

Keep in mind that proper acclimatization is crucial in preventing altitude sickness, so select a trek with an itinerary that allows sufficient time for gradual ascents and acclimatization stops.

Selecting the Best Time to Trek:

Choosing the right time to trek in Nepal is crucial for a successful and enjoyable family adventure. Here are some factors to consider when planning your trip:

Weather considerations:

The best time for trekking in Nepal is during the pre-monsoon season (March to May) and post-monsoon season (September to November). These periods offer clear skies, pleasant temperatures, and low precipitation, ensuring optimal conditions for trekking and sightseeing.

During these seasons, daytime temperatures are comfortable for trekking, while nighttime temperatures can be quite cold, especially at higher altitudes. Be prepared with appropriate clothing and gear.

The monsoon season (June to August) brings heavy rainfall and potential landslides, making trekking more challenging and risky. It's generally not recommended for family treks.

Festival celebrations:

If you're interested in experiencing Nepali culture at its best, consider planning your trek to coincide with local festivals such as Dashain, Tihar, or Holi. These events offer unique opportunities to engage in local customs and traditions, witness colorful celebrations, and interact with the local community.

Keep in mind that during popular festivals, accommodations and transportation may be in higher demand and more expensive, so plan and book your trip well in advance.

Research the dates and locations of these festivals, as well as any potential trekking route alterations or accommodations affected by the celebrations, to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for your family.

Packing Essentials:

Packing appropriately for a family trek in Nepal is crucial for ensuring comfort and safety throughout the journey. Here are some essential items to include in your packing list:

Clothing and gear:

Layered clothing: Pack lightweight, moisture-wicking base layers, insulating mid-layers, and waterproof outer layers to adapt to varying temperatures and weather conditions.

Trekking shoes: Comfortable, sturdy, and waterproof trekking shoes with good ankle support are essential for protecting your feet and providing adequate traction on the trails.

Hats and gloves: Bring sun hats for protection against the sun at lower elevations and warm hats and gloves for colder temperatures at higher altitudes.

Sunglasses: High-quality sunglasses with UV protection are necessary to shield your eyes from the intense sun, especially at higher elevations.

Backpack: Each family member should have a comfortable and appropriately-sized backpack for carrying personal items, snacks, and water during the trek.

Snacks and supplies:

High-energy snacks: Carry non-perishable, high-energy snacks such as granola bars, nuts, dried fruits, and energy bars to keep everyone energized and satisfied during the trek.

Reusable water bottle: Each person should have a reusable water bottle or hydration system for easy access to water throughout the trek. Staying hydrated is crucial, especially at higher altitudes.

Toiletries and personal items: Pack essential toiletries, such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, toilet paper, and biodegradable soap, as well as personal items like a quick-drying towel, sunscreen, and insect repellent.

First aid kit:

Prepare a compact first aid kit with essentials such as band-aids, pain relievers, antiseptic wipes, adhesive bandages, blister pads, and any necessary prescription medications.

Include altitude sickness medication, such as acetazolamide (Diamox), as a precautionary measure, but consult your doctor before using any medications.

Don't forget to pack any personal medications or items for managing existing medical conditions or allergies, such as an inhaler for asthma or an EpiPen for severe allergies.

Health and Safety Considerations:

Ensuring the health and safety of your family while trekking in Nepal is of utmost importance. Here are some key considerations to keep in mind:

Acclimatization:

Altitude sickness can affect anyone, regardless of age or fitness level. It is essential to choose a trek with an itinerary that allows for proper acclimatization to minimize the risk of altitude sickness.

Plan for rest days and gradual ascents in your itinerary, especially when trekking above 3,000 meters.

Stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet, and monitor your family members for any symptoms of altitude sickness, such as headache, dizziness, or nausea.

Be prepared to adjust your plans or descend to a lower altitude if necessary.

Vaccinations:

Before traveling to Nepal, consult your doctor or a travel medicine specialist for recommendations on vaccinations and preventative medications. Some recommended vaccines for travelers to Nepal may include Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Typhoid, and routine vaccinations such as Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR), Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis, and Polio.

Make sure your family's vaccinations are up-to-date, and allow sufficient time to complete any vaccine series or booster doses.

Travel Insurance:

Purchase comprehensive travel insurance that covers trekking at high altitudes, medical emergencies, evacuation, and trip cancellation or interruption.

Ensure that your policy covers the maximum altitude of your trek, as some policies may have restrictions on coverage above certain elevations.

Carry a copy of your insurance policy and emergency contact numbers with you while trekking, and share this information with your trekking guide or tour operator.

Familiarize yourself with the terms and conditions of your insurance policy, and understand what is covered and what isn't, to avoid any unpleasant surprises in case of an emergency.

Tips for a Successful Family Trek in Nepal

Embarking on a family trek in Nepal can be a life-changing experience for you and your loved ones. To ensure a safe, enjoyable, and memorable adventure, follow these essential tips for a successful family trek:

Engaging children in the trekking experience:

Encourage your children to set the pace and take regular breaks to ensure they stay motivated and energized throughout the trek. Turn the trek into a fun learning experience by teaching them about the flora, fauna, and geography of the region. Create games or challenges, such as scavenger hunts or identifying different bird species, to keep them engaged and excited during the journey.Involve them in the decision-making process, such as choosing rest spots or planning the day's route, to give them a sense of ownership and responsibility.

Learning about local culture and traditions:

Take the time to visit local villages, monasteries, and cultural sites along the trekking route to gain a deeper understanding of the region's history and customs. Encourage your family to interact with the locals, participate in traditional activities, and try local foods to enrich your cultural experience. Learn a few basic phrases in the local language, such as greetings and expressions of gratitude, to build rapport with the local people and show respect for their culture. Teach your children about the importance of responsible tourism and being respectful of local customs, such as dressing modestly and seeking permission before taking photographs.

Wildlife and nature spotting:

Carry a field guide or download a wildlife identification app to help your family identify and learn about the various plants, animals, and birds found in the region. Be patient and observant while trekking, as wildlife encounters are often unexpected and require keen attention to spot animals hiding in their natural habitat. Teach your children the importance of preserving the environment and not disturbing the natural habitats of the wildlife they encounter. Remind your family to follow the principles of Leave No Trace, such as disposing of waste properly, minimizing campfire impact, and respecting wildlife, to ensure that the pristine environment is preserved for future generations.

Encouraging bonding and teamwork:

Plan group activities, such as storytelling sessions or stargazing, to encourage family bonding during the evenings at the tea houses or campsites.

Foster a sense of teamwork by assigning roles to each family member, such as map reading, preparing meals, or setting up tents, and rotating these roles throughout the trek.

Encourage open communication and active listening within the family to ensure that everyone's needs, concerns, and feelings are addressed and respected.

Create a positive and supportive atmosphere by celebrating each other's achievements, no matter how small, and offering encouragement during challenging moments.

Assigning age-appropriate tasks:

Delegate tasks based on the age and abilities of your children to ensure that they feel competent and confident in their roles.

For younger children, consider assigning tasks such as collecting firewood, filling water bottles, or assisting with meal preparation.

Older children can take on more responsibility, such as setting up tents, planning the day's route, or helping younger siblings with their tasks.

Ensure that each family member has a clear understanding of their role and the importance of their contribution to the success of the trek.

Creating fun games and challenges:

Develop creative and engaging games, such as treasure hunts or nature-based quizzes, to keep your children entertained and motivated during the trek.

Organize friendly competitions, such as a race to spot the most bird species or a contest to see who can identify the most mountain peaks, to spark curiosity and enthusiasm.

Encourage imaginative play by creating stories or role-playing scenarios inspired by the local legends, folklore, and landscape.

Use downtime at teahouses or campsites to engage in family bonding activities like card games, board games, or group storytelling sessions, which can create lasting memories and strengthen family connections.

Staying flexible and patient:

Be prepared to adjust your plans and expectations to accommodate the needs, interests, and abilities of your family members.

Recognize that children may require more frequent breaks, shorter trekking days, or additional rest days to ensure their well-being and enjoyment of the experience.

Stay patient and understanding in the face of unexpected challenges or setbacks, such as inclement weather, altitude sickness, or fatigue.

Be open to altering your itinerary, taking alternative routes, or even cutting your trek short if it becomes necessary for the safety, comfort, or happiness of your family.

Adjusting pace and plans as needed:

Monitor the energy levels and well-being of your family members and be prepared to modify your pace, route, or daily goals accordingly.

Encourage open communication within the family so that everyone feels comfortable voicing their needs, concerns, and preferences.

Remember that children may not always be able to keep up with adult hikers and that frequent breaks, a slower pace, or shorter trekking days may be necessary to ensure their enjoyment and safety.

Consult with your guide or teahouse hosts about the best course of action if adjustments need to be made due to health concerns, weather conditions, or other factors.

Emphasizing the journey, not just the destination:

Encourage your family to appreciate the beauty and wonder of the trekking experience, rather than focusing solely on reaching the final destination or accomplishing specific goals.

Foster a sense of curiosity and exploration by taking the time to observe and appreciate the natural environment, local culture, and unique experiences encountered along the way.

Remind your family that the most important aspect of the trek is the time spent together, the memories created, and the personal growth achieved through overcoming challenges and learning new skills.

Celebrate each day's accomplishments, no matter how small, and focus on the positive aspects of the journey, rather than dwelling on setbacks or disappointments.

Hiring a knowledgeable guide:

Consider engaging the services of a professional, licensed guide to ensure a safe, enjoyable, and informative trekking experience for your family.

A knowledgeable guide can provide valuable insights into the local culture, history, and environment, as well as help identify flora and fauna along the trail.

A guide can also assist with route planning, navigation, and any necessary adjustments to your itinerary, ensuring that your trek runs smoothly and efficiently.

Hiring a guide contributes to the local economy and provides a more authentic and immersive experience, as they can facilitate meaningful interactions with local people and provide access to off-the-beaten-path experiences.

Ensuring safety and navigation:

Prioritize the safety of your family members by adhering to the advice and recommendations of your guide, staying on well-trodden trails, and avoiding unnecessary risks.

Familiarize yourself with the trekking route and potential hazards, such as river crossings or landslide-prone areas, and ensure that all family members are aware of these risks and know how to mitigate them.

Equip your family with essential safety gear, such as trekking poles, sturdy footwear, and appropriate clothing, and teach them how to use these items properly.

Carry a map, compass, and/or GPS device to aid in navigation, and ensure that all family members have a basic understanding of how to use these tools.

Enhancing cultural understanding:

Encourage your family to learn about the history, traditions, and customs of the people in the region you are trekking through, as this will enrich your overall experience and promote respect for local cultures.

Participate in cultural activities, such as visiting monasteries, attending festivals, or engaging in traditional crafts, to gain a deeper understanding of the local way of life.

Teach your children the importance of cultural sensitivity and respect by modeling appropriate behavior, such as dressing modestly, asking permission before taking photographs, and being mindful of local customs and etiquette.

Engage with local people, learn from their stories, and share your own experiences to foster cultural exchange and create lasting memories of your family trek in Nepal.

Trekking in Nepal with kids: Best Season

The best time to trek in Nepal with kids is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons. These periods offer the most favorable weather conditions and are considered the peak trekking seasons in Nepal. Here’s why these seasons are ideal for trekking with kids:

Spring (March to May ):

Moderate temperatures and clear skies make for pleasant trekking conditions.
The colorful blooms of rhododendrons and other wildflowers add to the scenic beauty.
The trails are vibrant, and the landscapes are alive with new growth after the winter season.
It is a great time for birdwatching as migratory birds return to the region.

Autumn (September to November):

Mild temperatures during the day and clear skies provide excellent visibility of the mountains.
The weather is stable with low chances of rainfall, reducing the risk of slippery trails.
The landscapes are breathtaking with lush greenery and clear mountain views.
It is a popular time for festivals in Nepal, offering a chance to experience the vibrant cultural celebrations.

During these seasons, the temperatures are comfortable, making it easier for kids to enjoy the trek without extreme cold or heat. The weather conditions are generally more predictable, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable experience for the whole family. The trails are well-traveled during these peak seasons, providing a sense of security and access to facilities such as teahouses, where families can find comfortable accommodations and warm meals.

It is important to note that while spring and autumn are the optimal seasons for trekking in Nepal with kids, they can still be busy periods, especially in popular trekking regions like the Everest and Annapurna regions. Therefore, it is advisable to book accommodations and permits in advance to secure your preferred trekking dates. However, it is also possible to trek in Nepal with kids during the summer (monsoon) season and winter, depending on the specific trek and region. The summer season (June to August) brings heavy rainfall and leeches, which can make trekking more challenging. Winter (December to February) brings colder temperatures and a higher chance of snowfall, particularly at higher altitudes. These seasons require more preparation and consideration of the specific challenges they present, such as cold weather gear and ensuring safe trail conditions.

Overall, spring and autumn offer the best combination of pleasant weather, beautiful landscapes, and cultural experiences, making them the preferred seasons for trekking in Nepal with kids.

The 12 Best Treks in Nepal

Last Updated: July 12, 2021

When it comes to views and mountains, nothing beats Nepal. Eight of the fourteen eight-thousanders (mountains above 8000m) in the world are located in Nepal: Mount Everest, Mount Kanchenjunga, Mount Lhotse, Mount Makalu, Mount Cho Oyu, Mount Dhaulagiri, Mount Manaslu and Mount Annapurna I. Nepal is the ultimate destination for trekking. There is no substitute!

Trekking is one of my favorite travel activities. Whether it’s for 3 days or 3 weeks, trekking is the best way to disconnect from the world and to find time for yourself.

Many hidden gems in Nepal are only accessible by foot. The good news is Nepal has something for everyone; there is a wide variety of places to suit every type of traveler, no matter what your interests, budgets, comfort levels and trekking styles. Of course, there are the already well-loved Nepal treks, such as Annapurna, Everest, Langtang and Poon Hill. But if you’re looking for something a little different, then go off-the-beaten-path and explore the Manaslu Circuit, Mardi Himal, Kanchenjunga, the Far West Humla, Upper Dolpo or the Kingdom of Mustang.

It was very difficult for me to narrow this list down to just twelve. But here we are! Below are my 12 favorite trekking trips in Nepal. They range in length, variety, terrain, and difficulty but they all have one thing in common: spectacular views!

1. Manaslu Circuit, the Authentic Himalayan Trek

The Manaslu Circuit Trek is my favorite trek in Nepal. It is SO beautiful; the terrain is remarkably diverse and the views are simply breathtaking.

Only open to foreign travelers since 1991, the Manaslu Circuit remains relatively untouched compared to the other well-known treks. It is an excellent alternative to the busier Annapurna treks.

But the reason why I love this trek so much is for its authenticity. With its customs and traditions still intact, the Manaslu Circuit is more than just a trek, it is a true immersion in a new culture. Many trekkers say it is basically Annapurna circuit 30 years back.

From subtropical forests to mountainous terrain, Manaslu has it all. The trek begins through the terraced rice fields. Then, the trail becomes little more challenging with a rocky terrain. During this trek, you will hike through many forests (Manaslu region possesses 19 different types of forests!) and you will be rewarded by jaw-dropping views along the way, including the spectacular views on Mt. Manaslu (8,163m), the eighth highest mountain in the world. Birendra Tal (a beautiful frozen lake) and Manaslu Base Camp are among the most mesmerizing places you’ll visit. But the highlight of your trip will undoubtedly be the crossing of Larkya La Pass (5,125m) offering astounding views on Himlung Himalayan, Kang Kuru, Annapurna II and Cheo Himal.

March to May. October and November.

Duration:

This trek typically takes anywhere from 14 to 17 days to complete.

Highest Point:

Larkya La Pass (5,125m).

Difficulty level:

The Manaslu Circuit Trek is considered challenging. Good for experienced trekkers who have a good level of fitness.

For those who want to immerse themselves in the local culture and experience an authentic way of life away from the tourist crowds.

If you have ‘ time ’, you can add ‘Tsum Valley’ to your itinerary (you will need 22 days in total). Tsum Valley was only opened to foreign trekkers since 2008 and the region is one of Nepal’s most pristine lands.

Regulations and permits:

The Manaslu region is a restricted area. You’ll need the following permits to access it:

Manaslu Conservation Area Permit (MCAP): NPR3,000
Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP): NPR3,000
Manaslu Restricted Area Permit: $75 USD per week ($10 USD per day beyond one week) from December to August / $100 USD per week ($15 USD per day beyond one week) from September to November.

In order to get the Manaslu permits, Nepal immigration requires a minimum of two trekkers (foreigners) plus a certified trekking guide.

2. Annapurna Circuit, the Classic Himalayan Trek

The Annapurna Circuit was (for a very long time) considered the greatest trek on the planet. It is still one of the most stunning (and challenging) treks in the world, and one of the most famous treks in Nepal. However, since the road constructions, the trek became shortened; the trail now starts around Chamje (in fact, the road goes up to Manang) and the part from Muktinath to Tatopani is now fully paved (but you can avoid partially the jeep road).

Despite the road constructions, the Annapurna Circuit still wins the heart of many trekkers (including mine) every year. If you choose the Annapurna Circuit, you’ll cross diverse landscapes from subtropical jungles to alpine forests.

You’ll visit the beautiful Manang, the popular resting point of trekkers, and Muktinath, a famous sacred pilgrimage site for Hindus and Buddhists. You’ll trek along the world’s deepest canyon – the Kali Gandaki. The most challenging part of your trip will be the crossing of Thorong La Pass (5,416m) where you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views on the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri massifs and Mustang high altitude desert. If you complete the total loop of the Annapurna Circuit, you’ll have the chance to enjoy the relaxing Tatopani’s hot springs and witness a stunning sunrise over towering peaks in Poon Hill.

The Annapurna Circuit, it isn’t only about views and trekking, it’s also a full immersion in the Thakali culture.

February to May. October to Mid-December.

This trek typically takes 16 days if you include Poon Hill in your itinerary (otherwise, 10 to 11 days will do).

Thorong La Pass (5,416m).

The Annapurna Circuit trek is considered demanding. A good level of fitness and an initial trekking experience are required before embarking on this journey.

For solo travelers, for social trekkers and for those who want to enjoy different landscapes during their trek in the Himalayas.

I cannot recommend enough to add a side trip to Tilicho Lake (4,919m), the highest lake for its size in the world (add 3 days).

To trek the Annapurna circuit, you’ll need permits:

Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP): NPR3,000
TIMS Card (Trekking Information Management System): NPR1,000 (NPR2,000 if you hike solo).

3. Everest Base Camp, the Most Iconic Himalayan Trek

The Everest Base Camp Trek is the most popular trek in Nepal and one of the most famous treks in the world. Thousands of trekkers come each year to follow in Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay’s footsteps up to the legendary Everest Base Camp.

Experience the Sherpas lifestyle en route and enjoy the breathtaking vistas and spectacular views on Mt. Everest, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Ama Dablam, Mt. Pumori and many other Himalayan peaks. Be ready to cross many impressive suspension bridges swinging high over rivers. During your trek, you’ll also explore the authentic local villages of the Khumbu region. The highlight of your trip will be the ascension of Kala Pattar (5,644m) where you’ll be rewarded by the stunning panoramic view of the Himalayan giants and Mt. Everest, the highest mountain in the world.

This trek typically takes 12-14 days.

Kala Pattar (5,644m).

The Everest Base Camp trek is considered challenging. A decent shape and an initial trekking experience above 3000m are required. Training beforehand is highly recommended.

For bucket-listers. There is a wonderful feeling of accomplishment after reaching the top of Kala Pattar and standing in front of the highest mountain in the world.

The tougher route via the spectacular Gokyo Lakes is really worth it. You will be rewarded with surreal panoramas and there won’t be crowds. A privilege that you should consider!

To trek in the Everest region, you’ll need permits:

Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Entrance Permit: $20 USD.
Sagarmatha National Park Permit: NPR3,000.

4. Langtang, Gosaikunda & Helambu, the Spiritual Trek

The Langtang, Gosaikunda & Helambu Trek is one of the most beautiful treks in Nepal. One of the highlights of this trek is the Holi Lake of Gosaikunda and its (many) surrounding lakes, an important pilgrimage site for Hindus. The legend says that Gosaikunda was formed by Lord Shiva’s trident to extract water after he has swallowed poison and needed to quench his thirst.

The Langtang, Gosaikunda & Helambu trek is a challenging trek with the crossing of Laurebina La Pass (4,610m) and Tharepati La Pass (3,600m), and the ascension of Tserko-Ri (4,984m). During your trek, you’ll be rewarded with fantastic panoramic views on Langtang Lirung, Dorje Lakpa, Shishapangma, Ganchenpo, and many other Himalayan peaks.

The region is a wildlife lover’s paradise; Langtang is home to the red pandas, Himalayan black bears, snow leopards, tahrs, and many other animals.

Trekking in the Langtang region also means trekking with purpose. The Langtang Region suffered significantly after the 2015 Earthquake. The trails have been repaired and the region is open and safe again.

March to May. September to November.

This trek typically takes 14 days to complete.

Tserko-Ri peak (4,984m).

The Langtang, Gosaikunda & Helambu Trek is considered challenging. You’ll need a good level of fitness and an initial trekking experience.

For those who want to engage in a community trek while challenging themselves.

The Tamang Heritage Trek is a nice add-on if you wish to get closer to the local culture.

To trek in the Langtang region, you’ll need the following permits:

Langtang National Park Entry Permit: NPR3,000.
Rasuwa Restricted Area Permit (for Gosaikunda): $20 USD per week.

5. Annapurna Base Camp, the Best Himalayan Trek for First-Timers

The Annapurna Base Camp Trek, also known as the ‘Annapurna Sanctuary Trek’, is one of the most popular treks in Nepal but also one of the most beautiful. Often chosen as a first trek in the Himalayas, the Annapurna Base Camp Trek never disappoints. Accessible to any good walker and relatively easy compared to other Himalayan treks, the Annapurna Base Camp Trek is the promise of a wonderful, challenging and unique experience!

In the heart of Nepal, the legendary Annapurna Base Camp is a gigantic amphitheater surrounded by Himalayan giants. Perched at an altitude of 4,130 m, you will be rewarded with a spectacular view on the Annapurna massif and its thirteen peaks over 7,000m.

During this trek, you’ll stay in many Gurung, Thakali and Magar villages. An excellent immersion in the diverse Himalayan cultures.

This trek typically takes 10 days if you include Poon Hill in your itinerary.

Annapurna Base Camp (4,130m).

The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is considered moderate and accessible to good walkers. A good level of fitness is recommended before embarking on this journey.

An excellent choice for first-timers in the Himalayas.

To trek in the Annapurna region, you’ll need permits:

6. Poon Hill, the Family Trek

Want to experience the Himalayas but are too short on time? Then, the Poon Hill Trek will fulfill your expectations. Besides, this trek is quite easy, making it a great choice for families with children.

The Poon Hill Trek in the Annapurna Region is one of the most famous short mountain treks in Nepal, with breathtaking mountain views of Mt. Dhaulagiri, Mt. Machhapuchhre, Annapurna I, Mt. Manaslu, Annapurna II and many other peaks.

During your trek, you’ll walk through impressive rhododendron forests, witness stunning sunrises over towering peaks in Poonhill and Tadapani, experience the true lifestyle of the Gurung and Magar and enjoy delicious food and warm hospitality.

February to May. September to December.

This trek typically takes 4-5 days.

Poon Hill (3,210m).

This trek is considered easy, accessible to all good walkers, including children.

For families with children. Or for those who have limited time in Nepal but still want to experience a Himalayan trek.

To do the Poon Hill trek, you’ll need permits:

7. Makalu Barun Valley, the Adventurous Trek

The Makalu Barun Valley Trek is one of the most hidden treks in Nepal, and yet, considered by professional mountaineers, one of the most beautiful, diverse and pristine regions in the world.

The Makalu Barun Valley Trek is totally off-the-beaten-track; and that’s for a good reason: not long time ago, this trek was only possible as a camping trek, meaning lots of camping gear to carry and a big fee to pay to bring a team with you. NOW, numbers of tea houses and homestays have emerged along the route, making this trek affordable and accessible to all of us! A true immersion in the heart of the Himalayas!

March to May. October to November.

This trek typically takes around 16-18 days to complete.

Makalu Base Camp (4,870m).

The Makalu Barun Valley Trek is considered challenging. A very good level of fitness is required. It is recommended that trekkers engage in physical training before the trek.

Only for adventurous travelers!

To trek in the Makalu Barun Valley region, you’ll need the following permits:

Makalu Rural Municipality Fee: NPR2,000.
Makalu Barun National Park Entry Fee: NPR3,000.

8. Mardi Himal, the Alternative Short Trek

Off-the-beaten-path, Mardi Himal is a great short-trek. Yet, it is still one of the least visited trekking trails in the Annapurna region. Mardi Himal is one of Annapurna’s best kept secrets and the diverse hiking route is perfect for those who want to explore uncrowded new paths. As the altitude increases, forests are replaced by fields of rhododendrons and the route up to the Base Camp offers spectacular views of the entire Annapurna mountain range.

If you are short on time, Mardi Himal is a great alternative to the busier Poon Hill Trek; it is a trek without the crowds but more challenging.

Mid-February to May. September to December.

This trek typically takes 7 days.

Mardi Himal Base Camp (4,500m).

The Mardi Himal Trek is considered moderate, accessible to good walkers. A good level of fitness is recommended.

The Mardi Himal Trek is ideal for the adventure travelers looking for a short but challenging trek in the Himalayas.

To do the Mardi Himal trek, you’ll need permits:

9. Upper Dolpo, the Unspoiled Trek

Venture into the unspoiled Nepal wilderness! The Upper Dolpo Trek is undoubtedly one of the most exceptional treks in the world. Nowhere you’ll get these unique unparalleled scenic views with mineral valleys, high altitude deserts, pristine lakes and snow-capped peaks. Be prepared! It is a challenging camping trek along ‘The Great Himalayan Trail’ with the crossing of many high passes over 5,000m.

Because of the lack of tracks and roads to get there, Upper Dolpo remains one of the most remote and inaccessible places on earth. If you embark on this trek, you’ll also step back in time. Upper Dolpo is a remote trek that wasn’t altered by tourism. It is one of the last nomadic caravans in the world, and known as the last enclave of pure Tibetan culture. The region has been forbidden to foreigners until 1989; foreign visitors still need to obtain a special permit to enter the restricted land of Upper Dolpo.

Upper Dolpo is also home to the Snow Leopards, white wolves, Himalayan black bears and Himalayan blue sheep. Quite unique, huh?

April to May. September to November.

The Upper Dolpo Trek typically takes anywhere from 20 to 30 days to complete.

Jungben La Pass (5,550m).

The Upper Dolpo Trek is considered difficult with the crossing of many high passes over 5,000m including Kang La (5,300m), Saldang La (5,050m), Jeng La (5,125m), Jhyarko La (5,400m), Mola La (5,027m), Jungben La (5,550m) and Niwas La (5,120m). It is recommended that trekkers engage in physical training and regular weekly hikes at least 3 to 4 months before the trek.

For survival trekkers who don’t mind camping in extreme conditions for more than 20 days.

Lower Dolpo Restricted Area Permit: $20 USD per week and after 1 week, $5 USD per week

In order to get the Dolpo permits, Nepal immigration requires a minimum of two trekkers (foreigners) plus a certified trekking guide.

10. Kanchenjunga Circuit, the Wild Trek

Do you want to experience a real wilderness adventure and immerse yourself in an unusual and authentic trekking experience? Then, the Kanchenjunga trek is for you!

The Kanchenjunga Circuit is a hidden gem and definitely one of the most spectacular treks in Nepal. Located in the eastern Himalayas on the border between Nepal and India, Mt. Kanchenjunga, the third highest in the world (8,586m) after Everest and K2, is called “Five Treasures of Snow” because of its five peaks (four of them are above 8,400 meters!).

The Kanchenjunga Circuit Trek is one of the most challenging treks in Nepal but also one of the finest. The Indian trekking route is quite popular but the Nepalese trekking route is almost unspoiled. It is an exceptional trekking adventure in the heart of the Himalayas and a true immersion experience in the Limbu, Rai, Sherpa and Tamang cultures.

April to May. October to November.

This trek typically takes around 20 days to complete.

Pang Pema (5,120m).

11. Humla and Limi Valley, the Unexplored Trek

Following the ancient salt trade route between Nepal and Tibet, the Humla and Limi Valley Trek is a remote camping trek unaffected by tourism. This trek takes you through the Trans-Himalayan Limi valley, and Humla, one of the most isolated regions in the world. The Area is one of the most culturally fascinating places in Nepal. You’ll witness ancient shaman traditions, and you’ll have the opportunity to interact with the local communities and visit ancient monasteries, including the Buddhist monastery “Namkha Khyung Dzong Gompa”, one of the largest gompas in the district.

During your trek, you’ll cross 3 high passes: Nara La Pass (4,535m), Lamka La Pass (4,300m) and Nyalu La Pass (4,949m), you’ll enjoy spectacular views on the Himalayas (including Api Saipal and Mt. Kailash), but also fantastic views on the Tibetan plateau, and you will probably meet many caravans of mules, goats and dzos (a dzo is a hybrid between a yak and a cow).

April to May. Mid-September to November.

This trek typically takes around 15-16 days to complete.

Nyalu La Pass (4,949m).

The ancient Kingdom of Mustang was forbidden to foreigners until 1992. The region is still restricted and foreign visitors need to obtain a special permit to enter the magical land of Upper Mustang. However, the reward is priceless: trekking in the Last Forbidden Kingdom is a once-in-a-lifetime experience unlike any other.

During the trek, you’ll walk through a magnificent desert-like landscape and enjoy the views of spectacular sandstone cliffs. Among the many incredible places that you’ll discover, there will be:

• The walled city of Lo Manthang, one of the most preserved medieval fortresses in the world,

• Ghar Gompa, the oldest monastery in Mustang and one of the most ancient Buddhist monasteries in the world (8 th century),

• The Mani Dong wall, the longest Mani wall of Mustang,

• The Chhoser valley and its mysterious “Sky Caves”, one of the World’s Greatest Archaeological mysteries.

From April to November. If you visit Upper Mustang in May, plan to stay a little longer and participate in the colorful Buddhist Festival, Tiji.

This trek typically takes 12-13 days.

Paha La Pass (4,200m).

The Upper Mustang Trek is considered moderate. Anyone with a good level of fitness and a positive attitude can do this trek.

For those who want to experience a truly special mountain adventure. For those who want to step back in time and discover a local tribe and their unique culture.

If you have ‘ time ’, you should add the adventurous ‘Nar Phu’ trek to your itinerary (you will need around 25 days in total).

Family trekking tour In Nepal

Kate, Toby, Theo, and I wanted to thank you very much for organizing the Ghorepani Poonhill trekking for us on our holiday. We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed every minute! And we were particularly grateful that you were able to make some last-minute changes for us. We will certainly recommend your company Nepal Gateway Trekking to any of our friends if they inquire.

Best of family tour in Nepal

Our decision to travel to Nepal actually was very spontaneous, but we never regretted about this decision. From the very first moment when we step out at Kathmandu airport, Raj made everything possible to make us feel cared about and excited. We spent altogether 3 weeks traveling under Raj's guidance on the Anapurna trek, then living for few days in a small resort Pokhara, visiting Chitwan national park, enjoying amazing Lumbini, and finally exploring the Kathmandu area. Raj took the best care of us, resolving unexpected issues in the best way and actually becoming our friend, with whom we still keep contact in 2 years after our trip. We certainly would like to come back to Nepal again and the only person we would trust is Raj. We would recommend Raj as a trusted, knowledgeable, bright, and friendly person and just a very nice man!

Royal trekking can be another good option for family trekking as it is a short trek. It will allow you to capture the views of scenic mountains, blend in with the locals and their culture.

This trek takes place at a low altitude. It is easy to access and offers local services. This trek is suitable for all age groups from elders to kids.

In Nepal, family trekking is open during most seasons. But, Autumn (mid-September to mid-December) and Spring (March to May) are still the best seasons for trekking. Generally, by October and November, the monsoon will have stopped. This means the sky becomes clearer and the mountain views are more dramatic.
