What people love about Himalaya Mountains Tours for Seniors
- Annapurna poon-hill circuit trek
Excellent tour! I highly recommend the excursion with Pasang Sherpa
- Kathmandu Tour and Golf
This guiding was perfect! Our guide and host ; Maina, was the loveliest person ever! The culture, history and architecture of the old parts of Kathmandu is what you can get her, for a good price and in good English as well! I would definitely recommend this, and live with Maina again! Thank You!
Excellent experience, superb leadership by the guide CEO Suman Khatri and support from the three young Sherpas. The arrival of monsoon season did not detract from the views, walking or overall experience.

Each room comes with basic necessities like hot water, clean linens, and reliable heating during colder months.

When is the best time for seniors to visit the Himalaya Mountains?
The peak seasons run from October to November, when clear skies and mild temperatures create perfect conditions for exploring. March and April bring spring flowers and comfortable temperatures.
