What people love about Nepal Tours
- Everest Base Camp Trek
Dawa could not have been a better guide. His strength and encouragement through such a difficult time in Nepal was amazing.
A very challenging trek, accommodation and food was up to expectations. Pricing was fine for us.

It was a great experience. The guides (Shankar and Kassy) were always on top of everything making sure everybody was doing ok. It was challenging but all great because everybody made it to EBC.
Most popular destinations in Nepal
The Himalayas offer some of the world's most rewarding treks, and TourRadar travelers keep telling us about how these journeys changed their perspective. The Everest Base Camp Trek lets you follow the same paths as history's great climbers, with Mt. Everest right there in front of you. Our customers particularly enjoy spotting the wide mountain views across the Annapurna Range, and many say reaching Thorong La pass gives them a real sense of personal achievement. The experience goes deeper than just walking though - you'll find yourself in remote villages where life moves at its own pace, meet local families and discover ancient traditions. The spiritual atmosphere around Pashupatinath Temple adds another layer to the journey. What stands out in our travelers' stories isn't just the mountains, but the genuine connections they make with Sherpa communities and the quiet moments spent in Buddhist monasteries along the way.
See all Himalaya Mountains toursThe Annapurna Circuit really is Nepal's standout trek, where our travelers keep telling us about their incredible experiences crossing dramatic mountain passes and connecting with local villages. Getting up early to catch sunrise at Poon Hill is a highlight - watching first light hit the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna peaks makes that pre-dawn wake-up totally worth the effort. What makes this route special is how you get to know the local culture while hiking at altitude. Our Sherpa guides like Tenzi, Bhakta and also Pemba share deep local knowledge about traditions, wildlife and the ancient paths they've walked countless times. You'll move through such different landscapes - from thick forests filled with rhododendrons to high desert plateaus above the tree line. The tea houses along the way offer a warm welcome and good local food after long days on the trail. Our trekkers often tell us their best memories come from joining local puja ceremonies and learning why these peaks matter so much in Hindu culture as the goddess of nourishment's home.
See all Mount Annapurna toursThe heart of Mount Everest tours revolves around two defining experiences - getting to Base Camp and taking in the sweeping mountain panorama from Kala Patthar viewpoint. You'll walk trails that weave through genuine Sherpa villages where local culture comes alive, and many of our guests tell us the prayer ceremony at Tengboche Monastery touched them deeply. If you're pressed for time but want to see Everest up close, helicopter treks give you remarkable bird's-eye views of the world's highest peak and the surrounding Himalayan giants. Most people come back saying it changed their life, especially if they went during spring from March to May when rhododendrons carpet the slopes and the weather tends to give you the clearest mountain views. What often catches our trekkers by surprise are the traditional Buddhist ceremonies and natural connections they make with Sherpa communities along the way.
See all Mount Everest toursThe trek to Everest Base Camp shows you pure Himalayan grandeur along every step - you'll see sweeping mountain views from Kala Patthar and find moments of quiet at Tengboche Monastery. Our travelers often tell us that reaching EBC becomes just one part of their experience; they really connect with authentic Sherpa life while passing through lively villages like Namche Bazaar, Khumjung and also Phakding. Local guides who've grown up here share stories about the mountains and traditions they know so well, making each day's walk full of cultural moments and natural discoveries. Many guests love hiking in spring from March to May when rhododendrons paint the hillsides pink against snowy peaks. While September through November brings the most reliable weather and clearest views, each season adds something special to the journey.

Top operators in Nepal
Nepal Social Trek and Expedition leads the pack for quality Nepal trips - our travelers keep coming back and telling us it feels like joining a family rather than just booking a tour. If you want reliable transport, Everest Tours has solid service, especially with drivers like Raju at the wheel, though several guests mention you might want to request a 4x4 for those bumpy mountain roads. Intrepid Travel puts together good treks and has some excellent guides - Surya and the guide nicknamed "Mr. Nepal" get particularly positive mentions from past travelers. Just keep in mind a few customers have noted the price point versus what's included in the package. For anyone looking to really understand local life and customs, Adventure Himalayan Travels and Treks is worth considering. Their guide Rana consistently impresses clients by going out of his way to show hidden local spots, arrange special meals with families and handle any unexpected needs that pop up during tours. Each of these operators knows their stuff when it comes to Nepal, but they have different strengths depending on what you're after - whether that's a more personal family-style experience, super reliable logistics, expert trekking guidance or deep cultural connections.

"The conditions (roads) in Nepal are catastrophic which spoils the vacation experience. The tour guide was in my opinion incompetent, bad knowledge of human nature and not able to assess the routes correctly. The hotels during the trek were subterranean. The tour guide himself was very helpful.

"I was a bit skeptical booking this trip on Touradar as there wasn’t any recent reviews but I took the chance and all I can say is.. I’m so glad I did! It was my first Intrepid Tour but will not be my last. I have done previous tours with a younger cohort but really enjoyed the mix of ages. India- The Golden Triangle Tour up to Agra. My Group Leader was Juhi, a really sweet, patient and knowledgeable group leader. The first hotel we stayed at was very basic. The area wasn’t great but I’m guessing because it was close to the metro subway, that’s why we stayed in this area. We took the metro to a few activities which was pretty cool. There were a few days where we spent a lot of time walking in the sun which I loved but it might not suit every one. For a lot of the temples we had guides which was brilliant but I suggest looking up some the history prior to going so you can really engage. We visited a gem factory, a carpet factory, silk factory and though these sound boring, it was super interesting and no obligation to buy. I regret not buying something in the silk factory- all traditional silk ways of making things. We did a food tour as an additional activity booked through intrepid and it took us to amazing street food! The Taj Mahal was incredible, I thought it would be jam packed but we went at golden hour and it was perfect. For those wanting to get a snap without people in it, you can ask a photographer there to photoshop people out! Jaipur the pink city was so nice after the chaos of Delhi. The hotels we stayed at for the rest of the trip were lovely! For the second part of the trip, some of us who were continuing on, joined another group. Our group leader was Neeraj (Nicky) a very patient, hilarious inclusive leader. Nicky was very experienced and even organised outside activities and accommodation for after the tour (I was able to get a discount so would recommend talking to intrepid about accommodation before and after to get the best out of your trip). The highlights were seeing 8 one horned rhinos in Chitwan National park, being so close it looked at us a few feet away ( set your expectations low and you will not be disappointed). Kathmandu was incredible also. If you’re wondering if this tour is for you: There is a night train that isn’t every one’s cup of tea but Nicky made it as relaxing as possible. There is a bit of physical activity-walking, climbing in and out of boats, camping, tuk tuks, Nepalese roads are extremely bumpy also so if someone has back issues, it may not be the best tour (best to speak to intrepid prior to booking). My only criticism was that when we went camping on the Ganges river (prepare yourself to be do wee and poo in a hole) was that the boat we took was a row boat and it took a fair while to get there (they were sleeping in between!) would have been a far better experience if it took less time eg a motor but it was a brilliant experience none the less. Clothing wise: I brought some cotton pants, scarves as you need to cover up going to the temples. Go with no expectations to both India and Nepal and you will have the most amazing time! Food is cheap also! Thanks for a trip of a life time intrepid!

Best places to start your Nepal tour
Almost all our Nepal tours - about 96% - kick off from Kathmandu since it's got the main airport and all the tour support you need. A few travelers start from Pokhara, mainly for Annapurna treks, while some special trips leave from Machha Khola and also Lukla. Looking at our booking patterns, Nepal tours usually fill up around 4 months ahead - specifically 123 days before departure - so you'll want to lock in your spot then to get the itinerary and places to stay that you're after. The cultural side gets really interesting during festivals like Dashain and Tihar when locals invite visitors to join their family celebrations. For trekking, our guides always say to hit the trails early when it's quiet and the views are sharp; you'll find the tea houses along popular routes are cozy spots to rest and chat with other travelers.
Discover Nepal tours for every budget
Nepal's budget-friendly discovery tours deliver real value for money. The Essential Nepal tour combines Trisuli River rafting with treks to Ghandruk village, where you'll sleep in a traditional Himalayan family home. Our customers tell us they love how many activities and meals come included, though they suggest packing extra warm layers in winter months. Another solid route takes you along the DudhKoshi Valley to Phakding and into the bustling trading hub of Namche Bazaar, while a third path winds through oak forests to Ghorepani before climbing to Poon Hill for an Annapurna sunrise. These tours really shine in how they mix active outdoor days with genuine cultural connections - you might trek through pink rhododendron forests in the morning and learn about Gurung village life by afternoon.
High-end travel in Nepal maintains its authentic soul. You'll stay at places like Club Himalaya in Nagarkot, where the views stretch uninterrupted across Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and also Changu Narayan. Local artists teach you traditional Thangka painting, you'll cook family recipes passed through generations and spot wildlife from premium riverside lodges in Chitwan National Park. The helicopter journeys add something special - flying above Khumbu Valley to land near Everest Base Camp puts you right up close to the world's highest mountain. Our guests particularly value their expert guides who bring Nepal's stories to life, whether during sunset drinks with mountain views or early morning prayers in centuries-old monasteries.

For mountain lovers, private treks through the Khumbu region to Everest Base Camp come with dedicated guides who adjust the daily distance to match your comfort.

The tours flex around your interests, whether that's cultural sites, wildlife watching or high-altitude hiking.
Top Nepal travel itineraries to fit your plans
A week in Nepal gives you solid options for both trekking and culture. The Mardi Himal route packs 7 days of proper mountain walking, and you might spot Nepal's national bird - the Lophophorus - in the forests before reaching clear views of Annapurna South and Machhapuchhre. If culture's more your thing, we'll take you from Kathmandu's old temples to sunrise spots in Nagarkot, through preserved Newari towns in Bandipur and finally to Pokhara's peaceful lakeside. The Everest mountain flight is impressive, but our travelers often tell us it's the helicopter landing at Kala Patthar that really makes their trip special.

Ten days lets you properly explore multiple parts of Nepal without rushing. Starting in Kathmandu's medieval squares, you'll move on to Pokhara for mountain views and lake time. One day you're watching crocodiles from a dugout canoe in Chitwan, the next you're hiking up to Buddhist monasteries or exploring Buddha's birthplace in Lumbini. Our customers particularly like how these trips mix wildlife, culture and also mountain experiences. You get to actually settle into each place rather than just passing through.

Two weeks opens up serious trekking or deep cultural immersion. The Everest Base Camp trek takes 13-14 days to do right, with proper stops for altitude adjustment in Namche Bazaar and time in Sherpa villages. The evening prayers at Tengboche Monastery leave lasting impressions, and you'll notice how the landscape changes as you climb higher. The Annapurna circuit brings its own challenges, crossing Thorong La at 5416m and visiting villages where traditional mountain life continues as it has for generations. These longer routes give you time to really understand the mountain cultures while taking on some properly challenging trails.
TourRadar recommends visiting:
Kathmandu, Phakding, Namche Bazar, Khumjung, Dingboche, Gorak Shep, Everest Base Camp, Kala Patthar, Pheriche, Lukla

Nepal's solo travel routes really shine when it comes to mixing up daily activities. Our travelers consistently praise the Essential Nepal trek for its included meals and well-planned schedule. You'll paddle through the Trisuli River's rapids, walk ancient paths between mountain villages and spend nights with local families in their traditional homes. The guides make a real difference here - they know exactly how to help solo travelers feel at home in the group. For something more challenging, take on the Everest region trek where you'll spend time getting used to the altitude in Namche Bazaar before heading up to Base Camp. What works particularly well is how these trips balance group time with personal space - trek with your new friends in the morning, then explore Pokhara's local food scene on your own in the evening.
Our younger travelers love how much variety we pack into each day on the multi-activity tours. Most routes kick off with some serious fun on the Trisuli River - you'll tackle rapids with quirky names like Ladies Delight and Rock Garden before moving on to the trekking section. The trails take you through completely different environments each day, from golden wheat fields right up through forests filled with wild rhododendrons, sleeping in traditional teahouses along the way. The 20-30 age group especially appreciates how these tours mix up physical challenges with local culture - one day you're navigating wild rapids, and the next you're sitting down with Gurung villagers learning about mountain life. For those after some serious mountain time, the Everest region treks include proper time to adjust to the altitude. After big days on the trails, you can swap stories at Pokhara's laid-back lakeside bars or dive into Thamel's buzzing nightlife in Kathmandu.

Spring in Nepal brings perfect trekking conditions with rhododendrons coloring the hillsides in pink and purple hues. Our main trek follows the Dudh Kosi Valley up to Everest Base Camp - you'll cross high suspension bridges and sleep in local teahouses along the way. From March through May, the blue pine forests look particularly nice and you'll get clear views of peaks like Kusum Kanguru and Thamserku reaching above 6,000 meters. If you want to mix things up a bit, try our combo tour that pairs white-water rafting on the Trisuli River with hikes to remote Gurung villages. You'll stay with local families and really get to know mountain life. Our customers tell us these spring tours hit the sweet spot - one day you're navigating rapids, the next you're learning traditional cooking in a village kitchen.

Summer tours stick to the southern regions and cultural sites to avoid the worst of the monsoons. We head to Chitwan National Park where early morning canoe rides get you close to marsh mugger crocodiles and lots of unique birds. Moving up into the hills, we blend temple visits with moderate treks like the Poon Hill route which shows off the Annapurna mountains. Our travelers say they love how these summer trips balance out - you'll track rhinos on safari in the morning and relax at riverside lodges in the evening. The cultural side really comes alive too, with stops in traditional Magar villages and time spent learning local customs from Gurung communities in the lower mountains.

If you prefer an easier pace, we've got routes through the Annapurna foothills that mix comfortable teahouse stays with visits to Buddhist monasteries, Hindu temples and also local markets. Our guides make these autumn tours special - they know the traditions inside out and make sure you're ready for each day's hiking.
