Very good value tour. Our guide Raj was so informative and was always available to answer any questions. He was there for airport pick ups and drop offs in Kathmandu and organised these in Chitwan and Pokhara. He changed our itinerary without hesitation in Kathmandu, as we had seen those sites already and gave us a full day of sight seeing in amazing locations. He organised our flights to Chitwan and back from Pokhara and our driver from Chitwan, who was also excellent.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! So happy with our experience with WTX and Nepal. highly recommend! Pros: - Guide: Raj is an amazing guide. Incredibly knowledgeable about a large range of topics from religion, history, culture, politics, food, etc. there wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer- it was impressive. He told very interesting stories and taught us so much. He stayed with us the entire time, from airport pick up to drop off, and was very generous with his time and knowledge. He prepared us for each days activities and checked in to ensure we were satisfied and happy with our experiences all along the way, personalizing the experience. He managed the schedule/ itinerary expertly and gave us the exact right amount of time at each site. He even acted as a photographer. He ensured that we felt taken care of from start to finish- it felt like we were visiting a friend. - Driver: very friendly, nice and clean car, expertly handled the roads and traffic - Sites/ itinerary: followed listed itinerary perfectly. unique and interesting religious and royal sites, where you can learn a lot about Hinduism, Buddhism, and the Nepali people, their history, and culture. The sites are fairly close, so you can spend a lot of time at each spot, with a little bit of walking at each location. Going to Nagarkot allowed the opportunity to see the mid-hills region and learn more about the villages and agriculture. Truly a beautiful country. We also happened to visit during a festival, which provided even more of a unique cultural experience! - Optional Everest Mountain flight: $250 usd per person, you wake up very early to fly over the mountains around sunrise to Everest. The crew points out key mountains during the flight, and they only book window seats to guarantee a good view. Very unique experience - we’re very happy we decided to add it to our schedule. WTX accommodated adding this optional service very last minute, including picking us up from the hotel to the airport, and getting us back to the hotel by breakfast before starting the planned itinerary - Accommodations: we loved the two hotels provided with this tour. The people were particularly friendly and welcoming, the breakfast was great, and the hotels were spacious and clean. We especially enjoyed Timber House, in Kathmandu - beautiful rooms, great rooftop restaurant and bar, and is in an ideal location to explore Thamel by foot. - Food: Try the local cuisine, it was one of the highlights of our trip! Raj took us to several awesome locations for lunch and snacks, including many small, local restaurants and vendors, allowing us to sample a lot of the local cuisine and drinks that we wouldn’t have known about otherwise. - Safety: the nepali people were so warm, friendly, and hospitable - We felt very safe the whole time. - Value: excellent value- very reasonable price for the accommodations and services provided. Since no one else booked during our trip, we had a private tour, which really allowed us to ask questions and for Raj to guide based on our interests. - free e-sim was a very helpful service provided by tour radar- you get one for yourself and for your fellow travelers, which worked without any issues Cons: - Not enough time in nepal- we wish we could have stayed longer! A few tourist visa tips, unrelated to the tour: - if you’re not able to get the visa online, before arrival, have local currency on hand for money exchange for the visa fee ($30 usd per person). The only atm on that side of immigration was very finicky, leaving several people in a bind. Otherwise in Kathmandu, there are plenty of accessible atms, which is helpful as cash is king in Nepal. - Note the Kathmandu hotel, or ask WTX ahead of arrival, as you’ll need it for visa entry.

This is the second time that I've opted to do a hike with this company. Administrative matters were sorted out seamlessly, and the team accommodated our requests. Our guide Buddha was very resourceful and patient. We managed to, in spite of monsoon rains, get a beautiful view of the mountain ranges at Ghorepani. Highly recommend.

Best tour companies for Nepal tours
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.
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.

Best time to visit Nepal
- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter reveals Nepal's most distinctive experiences, letting our multi-day discovery tours showcase crisp mountain views and genuine cultural interactions. Our travelers enjoy combining Trisuli River rafting through class 3-4 rapids with stops at Chitwan National Park, where Bengal tigers and rhinos become more visible in the cool season. The classic Everest Base Camp trek spans 15 days at an easy rhythm, which gives you time to adjust in charming Sherpa villages like Namche Bazaar before climbing the high passes. For a more relaxed experience, the Ghorepani paths wind through oak forests, leading to prime Annapurna sunrise viewpoints while mountain lodges provide comfortable shelter. Our guides earn constant appreciation for adjusting winter schedules around weather patterns, finding clear viewing windows for key summits, and sharing their deep understanding of Buddhist traditions. Many itineraries include personal touches like sharing meals with local families, learning the art of momo dumpling-making in village homes and discovering local customs - the kinds of warm encounters that make winter travel in Nepal so special.

- Spring 2026
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 2026
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.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn gives us Nepal's most reliable weather and our biggest selection of tours. The Everest Base Camp trek works especially well from October to November when clear skies show off the ice falls and glacier landscapes. Our customers rave about the variety - you trek through Sherpa villages, cross the massive Hillary Bridge and climb Kala Patar for early morning views over Everest. 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. The stable weather means you can do it all - rafting the Trisuli, watching tigers in Chitwan and hiking to viewpoints that show off the whole range.

What our customers ask about Nepal Tours & Trips
What's the best way to get to those remote trekking spots in Nepal?
Getting to Nepal's remote areas is pretty straightforward actually. Most trekkers fly domestically to places like Lukla if they're heading to Everest. The roads can be pretty rough but 4x4s get you to most trek starting points no problem. Take the Incredible Nepal Adventure for example you'll do a scenic 6-7 hour drive to Ramechapp before catching your flight to Lukla it's all part of the adventure.
Can I do both cultural stuff and trekking in one trip?
You definitely can and it's a great way to experience Nepal. Lots of trips combine exploring Kathmandu's culture with amazing Himalayan treks. The Classic Nepal Tour is perfect for this you'll get guided tours of places like Durbar Square plus some fantastic trekking in the Annapurna region.
Where can I experience real Nepali culture away from the tourist spots?
The Everest 3 High Passes trek takes you right through authentic Sherpa villages where you'll see daily life unfold. For something really special the Essential Nepal tour includes staying with a local family in Hemjakot it's a traditional Himalayan home where you'll get to experience genuine Gurung culture firsthand.
How do I get around between Nepal's main cities?
Domestic flights are really convenient for getting around Nepal's mountainous landscape especially between places like Kathmandu and Pokhara. If you're watching your budget public and regional buses work well too just pack light though one of our TourRadar customers on the Classic Nepal Tour learned that the hard way.
