Trekking in Nepal

David & Mark's verdict

Cash in your gym membership and take one of the most exhilarating trips in the world, a trek into the snow-capped Himalayan peaks of Nepal. Join a small escorted group walking on ancient trails and sleeping in tea house lodges. Whether you opt for a vigorous hike or a gentle tour, you'll return feeling super-fit and spiritually recharged.

On the Go Tours says

Experience a wonderfully varied trek through the stunning Annapurna region of Nepal, lodging in quaint mountain villages, on our popular 13-day Annapurna Panorama tour.

Your journey begins in the cosmopolitan capital, Kathmandu, where you explore the Buddhist Stupas of Bodhnath and Swayambhunth, and the Pashupatinath Temple. Watch as devotees take ritual dips in the holy Bagmati River, and visit Patan Durbar Square, home to more than 50 temples and shrines.

You then fly to Pokhara at the foot of the spectacular Annapurna mountain range. A short drive away is the town of Phedi, where the trekking begins. Walking between 4 and 6 hours a day, with highly professional and knowledgeable Nepalese guides, you will get a genuine feel for the Annapurna’s diverse landscape of farmland, rhododendron forests and mountain villages.

Then it’s off to view the wildlife in Chitwan National Park, home to bison, leopard, rhesus monkey, the one-horned rhino and the elusive Bengal tiger, before finishing your tour back in Kathmandu.

At On the Go Tours, we also offer a longer and more strenuous trekking holiday to Everest Base Camp.
