Nepal Holidays


asia
Welcome to the Roof of the World! Nepal holidays promise spectacular snow-capped peaks, medieval temples, a welcoming people and some of the finest trekking on the planet.

Whether you're looking to lose yourself in the winding lanes of Kathmandu, trek to the world’s highest mountain, spot wildlife in Chitwan National Park or enjoy some R&R in lakeside Pokhara, this is a holiday that will simply take your breath away.

The main draw is trekking in the Himalayas. The Everest and Annapurna regions deliver some of the most magnificent scenery you’ll find anywhere. Whether you want to test yourself on a two week trek to Mount Everest Base Camp or simply dip your toe in with a short overnight trek from Pokhara, you will be awestruck by the majesty of the mountains.

Trailfinders offers a range of Nepal holidays and we have a dedicated team of destination specialists who are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to embark on a trekking adventure, explore Nepal with a private car and driver, or join a sociable small group tour – they are the perfect people to ask.

HOW TO GET AROUND NEPAL

For a country so mountainous, travelling around Nepal is relatively easy, though the steepness of the terrain can make road travel rather slow. With your own car and driver, you can sit back and enjoy the passing scenery on one of our classic private tours or ask our expert consultants to tailormake your perfect Nepal holiday.

Trekking options range from setting your own pace with a private guide and staying in comfortable lodges, or if you’d prefer a little more adventure and the camaraderie of a group, consider joining a guided group trekking tour.

WHERE TO GO IN NEPAL

Each region of Nepal boasts its own attractions and it’s no exaggeration to say each merits a holiday in its own right. It would be just as easy to spend your time exploring the atmospheric cities of Kathmandu and Pokhara as it would to use it trekking in the mountains. Wildlife aficionados should head to Chitwan, Nepal’s oldest and most famous national park.

Click on the tiles below the map for more details on each Nepal holiday destination. Alternatively, if you are looking for some inspiration, give us a call and speak to one of our expert travel consultants.
Kathmandu
Kathmandu
Bursting at the seams with ancient palaces, sacred temples and colourful bazaars, Kathmandu boats a rich cultural heritage. The streets of Nepal’s densely populated capital are always bustling, but explore by foot and you are sure to discover hidden corners of this intoxicating city.
Kathmandu Valley
Kathmandu Valley
Often referred to as the ‘living museum’ of Nepali culture, the Kathmandu Valley is home to no less than seven UNESCO World Heritage listed groups of monuments and buildings. These ancient historical sites boast some of the finest religious architecture in the country.
Pokhara
Pokhara
Surrounded by the snow-capped Himalayas including the sacred Machhapuchhre, or Fishtail Mountain, this laidback lakeside city is renowned as the jumping off point for trekking in the Annapurnas, as well as a popular spot for some well deserved R&R.
Chitwan National Park
Chitwan National Park
This is Nepal’s oldest national park and designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has a particularly rich variety of wildlife including elephants, the elusive Bengal tiger and one of the last populations of the endangered one-horned Asiatic rhino.
Everest Region
Everest Region
The world’s highest and most famous mountain is just one of a collection of stunning peaks in the Everest Region. The route to Everest Base Camp, Nepal’s busiest and most famous trail, is often referred to as ‘the steps to heaven’ due to the fabulous views provided at every turn.
The Annapurnas
The Annapurnas
Regarded as one of Nepal’s most scenic regions, the Annapurnas pack huge diversity into the wide range of treks available here. Despite average altitudes lower than the Everest Region, the longer treks do remain challenging, though plenty of shorter, easier treks are on offer
Bandipur
Bandipur
Draped in crimson bougainvillea with shuttered windows, many of the historic Newari buildings here have been beautifully preserved and converted into atmospheric guest houses or restaurants which makes this sleepy hill station a delightful stop between Pokhara and either Chitwan National Park or Kathmandu.

OUR RECOMMENDED HOTELS IN NEPAL

Maybe you’re looking for an atmospheric heritage hotel tucked away in the busy streets of Kathmandu or a comfortable trekking lodge in the Annapurnas? Or perhaps it’s an eco-friendly stay on a working farm outside Pokhara or a luxury wildlife lodge in Chitwan National Park that you are after?

What you won’t find here are thousands of Nepal hotels to wade through. We have done the hard work for you and selected the best places to stay and our travel consultants are on hand to help, often with first-hand experience.

Nepal Top Tips From Our Travel Experts

Richard Standen - expert

Kathmandu's Thamel district is a maze of madness! With all manner of shops and restaurants it's easy to miss the hidden secrets. Keep your eyes peeled for the small tucked away peaceful courtyards that usually home small shrines as well as homes to the locals.

Erica Cook

Don’t worry about buying tonnes of hiking gear for a Himalayan trek in Nepal. Walking poles etc are available for pennies in Kathmandu.
