- Everest Base Camp Trek
”Awesome memory of the first time in my life” I am so confused how I described to the ours EBC trek with Nepal social Trek and expedition. I got so many things to fall in my mind. My mind still there and so many things still granted. The combination of Everest base camp trek is an ancient village of the sherpa people and high suspension bridges. It was an excellent service. Overall it was wonderful. Transportation, accommodation, meals were superb. Here 's an important thing that I would like to mention our guide Achyut! He is best to guide that we had. He really took care of us. He became a good friend too. He is really hard worker and provide an excellent service to us. Everything while we were there. He explained to us everything excellent with the great smile and positive attitude. He checked up our health regular And explained about high altitude as well as. We were felt very lucky and saved on that duration because we had an excellent guide so no need to worried. The Manager of the company Mr. Basu was an excellent client handler. Always keep in touch with us. He replied email to us as quickly as possible to provide us with extra information about the Trek. It was awesome. Thanks for Basu organization and well-maintained staff. I would definitely will back again and also recommend to all people who have been a plan to go to Nepal. Connect Nepal social and contact with Basu and catch up guide Achyut. Thank you for everything that you guys provide to us. We really enjoyed it. Namaste Nepal. Nepal social team's!

Most popular destinations in Himalaya Mountains
The Manaslu Circuit Trek delivers magnificent mountain views that feel earned with every step, especially at Larkya La Pass where you'll see Himlung Himal, Kangguru and also Annapurna II sweeping across the skyline. What makes this route special is the natural and cultural mix - you'll walk through forests filled with cascading waterfalls while passing authentic Sherpa villages where monks still practice in centuries-old monasteries. Our travelers tell us that yes, it's physically demanding, but those mountain panoramas and real cultural connections make the effort worthwhile. You'll find fewer crowds here compared to routes like the Annapurna Circuit, which means more genuine interactions with villagers and firsthand experiences of Buddhist traditions.

Travel Himalaya Mountains your way
Explore a wide diversity of safari tours through Himalaya Mountains. We have 90 adventures that vary from 3 days to 20 days. With the greatest number of departures in April, this is also the most popular time of the year.
Our most popular Himalayan treks head to three key spots: Everest Base Camp, the Annapurna Circuit and also Annapurna Base Camp. The Everest Base Camp route runs 12-14 days, with our guides taking small groups past Sherpa villages and Buddhist monasteries along the way. Travelers tell us they really value those rest days in Namche Bazaar - it's perfect for getting used to the altitude while checking out local markets. You'll find the Annapurna Circuit offers something different at every turn - crossing the tough Thorong La pass at 5416m, walking through hidden mountain villages and exploring old temples. Our customers like how the elevation builds gradually, letting them experience different cultural areas as they go up. If you're short on time, the Poon Hill trek takes 3-4 days and gives you great mountain views without going too high up.
See all Hiking & Trekking toursOur multi-activity tours pack a lot into your Nepal trip. The popular 13-day routes kick off in Kathmandu with temple visits before heading to Chitwan National Park, where you'll go on jeep safaris looking for rhinos and tigers. TourRadar customers love mixing cultural bits like momo-making classes with active stuff - the white water rafting on the Trisuli River is always a hit. Most tours fit in a 3-day trek around Poon Hill, with early hikes to catch the sunrise over the Annapurnas and nights staying in local guesthouses. Want more action? Add some paragliding in Pokhara or bungee jumping to your trip. Our travelers say they really like having guided activities but also free time to wander around places like Bandipur's old town or join optional yoga sessions.
Mountain biking is an adventurous sport, the mere mention of it evokes a certain spirit of exploration and risk-taking. Cycling the Annapurna circuit in Nepal is no different, only you have breathtaking alpine views of the Himalayas and an unbelievable sense of achievement to motivate you.

Best places to start your Himalaya Mountains tour
Most Himalayan journeys start from Kathmandu - we've got 77 tours beginning there. You can also kick off from Paro in Bhutan with 11 different departures, New Delhi with 4 options and also Leh with 2 tours. Looking at our booking patterns, it's smart to lock in your trip about 4 months ahead (124 days to be exact), especially if you're aiming for October-November or March-April when conditions are just right and the trails get busy. Our travelers often mention loving spring treks in March-April when rhododendrons paint the hillsides pink, while October-November brings stable weather and local festivals that add something special to the journey. The tea houses along popular routes work well for most people - they're basic but welcoming, offering that perfect mix of comfort and local character. Just remember to build in some rest days; your body needs time to adjust to the altitude for a comfortable trek.
Discover Himalaya Mountains tours for every budget
Getting a real Himalayan experience doesn't have to break the bank. The Annapurna routes work well for budget-conscious travelers, running 13-14 days with comfortable teahouse stays along the way. Local guides who grew up in these mountains lead you through their home trails, introducing you to Gurung villages where you can learn to cook momos in family kitchens and visit centuries-old monasteries. If you've got three days, the Chitwan safaris give you good value - you'll paddle canoes and ride jeeps looking for Bengal tigers and one-horned rhinos. First-time trekkers often choose the Dhampus village routes, which serve up those mountain views without pushing too high in altitude.
The Everest Base Camp luxury lodges take trekking up a notch with proper beds, quality meals and mountain views right from your room. Bhutan's premium journeys really shine though - you'll rest in heritage buildings and boutique hotels while exploring ancient dzongs and remote mountain temples. Our clients love the special touches like private cultural shows, traditional hot stone baths and dinner with local families. Having expert guides makes all the difference - they adjust the pace as needed, share local stories and make sure you return to a comfortable room each night.

The Everest Base Camp trek spans 12-14 days, letting travelers form close bonds while hiking through the Khumbu region, and our customers often mention how their guide created a family-like atmosphere during challenging moments. Those tough sections, like the pre-dawn climb to Kala Patthar at 5,545m, bring groups closer together, as do quiet visits to Tengboche Monastery. Our Annapurna Circuit gets high marks for its smart elevation progression, giving trekkers time to connect as they make their way over Thorong La pass and discover authentic mountain settlements. While porters take care of gear logistics, guides focus on proper altitude acclimatization and share their deep knowledge of local culture. Those evening gatherings in teahouses become special moments, with guides who grew up in these mountains telling stories about Sherpa life and monastery traditions. For a shorter option, Poon Hill packs 3-4 days with mountain panoramas, cooking sessions in Gurung villages and also visits to age-old temples.

Top Himalaya Mountains travel itineraries to fit your plans
For quick Himalayan experiences, our shorter 3-day tours focus on two distinct regions: Jim Corbett National Park and Chitwan National Park. The tiger safaris in Corbett let you spot Royal Bengal tigers in their natural habitat, with expert guides who know exactly where these magnificent cats rest and hunt. In Chitwan, you'll combine wildlife viewing with cultural immersion - our travelers particularly enjoy the traditional canoe rides spotting crocodiles and rare birds, followed by elephant encounters and authentic Tharu village visits. These shorter tours work perfectly for travelers coming from Delhi or Kathmandu who want to add some wildlife adventure to their India or Nepal trip. The morning and afternoon safari timing is well planned, and our customers often mention how the local guides' deep knowledge enhances their wildlife spotting success.
Two distinct week-long paths into the Himalayas showcase different sides of these mountains. Through Bhutan, cultural routes wind from Thimphu to Punakha, and Paro where you'll walk monastery halls, connect with Buddhist monks and discover traditional village life. Our customers tell us they love how the moderate hiking blends with cultural experiences, especially that memorable climb up to Tiger's Nest monastery on the sixth day. Nepal offers a different take with the Mardi Himal trek, beginning with a quick flight to Pokhara before heading up through forests of rhododendron to reach viewpoints at 4,200 meters. TourRadar travelers mention how the well-paced acclimatization stops make the journey comfortable, while morning sunrises light up both the Annapurna peaks and also Machapuchare. Each route presents its own way to experience a week in the Himalayas - Bhutan combines culture with gentle trails, while Nepal delivers pure mountain trekking with high camps, summit views and also authentic village encounters.

These 10-day Himalayan journeys combine cultural encounters with mountain exploration in just the right measure. Our travelers connect deeply with the region through homestays in medieval Bhaktapur, peaceful Punakha villages and visits to mountaintop monasteries. Starting in Kathmandu, the route takes you to Chitwan National Park, where local guides lead dugout canoe trips for close-up rhino viewing. Some travelers head to Pokhara for Annapurna sunrise views and peaceful hours on Fewa Lake, while others explore cultural landmarks like Lumbini, where Buddha was born. In Bhutan, our guests tell us they love the well-balanced treks through untouched forests to hidden monasteries, combined with local experiences like traditional stone baths and shared meals in family homes. The guides thoughtfully adjust hiking distances to match each group's pace, which makes these tours ideal for both newcomers and seasoned trekkers. Many paths lead to special local moments, like watching weavers work in Tang Valley, visiting village markets and seeing traditional archery at Changlimithang - exactly the kind of authentic connections our TourRadar customers often highlight in their feedback.
Demographics
The Everest Base Camp trek works brilliantly for solo travelers - there's real comfort in how the guides create that family feeling while handling different hiking speeds and abilities. You'll make your way through the Khumbu region with a porter taking care of your gear and spend nights in simple but welcoming teahouses. There's plenty of time built in to explore the mountain culture of Namche Bazaar. The Annapurna Circuit is another solid pick where our solo customers tell us they love meeting other trekkers in the villages. You can walk at whatever pace suits you during the day but still have expert backup - something that proves invaluable when you're crossing Thorong La pass at 5,416 meters.
Our 13-day Nepal experience gives young adults exactly what they're after - a proper mix of trekking and real cultural immersion. You'll hit the rapids on the Trisuli River, spot wildlife in Chitwan and learn to cook momos in Pokhara. The schedule includes paragliding above Phewa Lake and trekking the Poon Hill circuit with the whole Annapurna range spread out in front of you. What works really well is the flexibility to pick between yoga sessions or multi-day treks. For those wanting a serious physical challenge, the Everest Base Camp route takes you up to 5,364 meters. The teahouses along the way are perfect for connecting with other trekkers and the guides keep things interesting with tales of climbing history and life in the Sherpa villages.

Best time to visit Himalaya Mountains
- Spring 2025
Spring covers the Himalayas in rhododendron blooms while offering perfect trekking weather. The Annapurna Circuit really comes alive March through May - our travelers love how it starts in lush forests down low and climbs up to snow-covered peaks. Everest Base Camp gets busy this season since the weather stays stable and the views run crystal clear. Many guests mix their spring treks with stops in old towns like Bhaktapur, where warm days make wandering through medieval squares and temples even better. As the snow melts, tougher routes through Manang Valley open up, letting you reach remote Buddhist monasteries and mountain villages right as the alpine flowers start showing.

What Makes the Himalayas So Special?
The Himalayas are actually one of Earth's youngest mountain ranges if you can believe it formed by this incredible ongoing collision between Indian and Eurasian plates that's still happening today. They're growing about 0.5-2cm every year which might not sound like much but it's pretty remarkable when you think about it. What's really fascinating is how these mountains house over 15000 glaciers basically serving as Asia's natural water tower and they're so massive they actually influence weather patterns across the globe including those big monsoon systems. And of course there's Everest standing proud at 8848.86 meters making it the highest peak you'll find anywhere on Earth.
What Kind of Local Experiences Can You Join in the Himalayas?
When you're in Kathmandu you can actually learn Thangka painting from local artists it's this beautiful sacred Buddhist art form that tells amazing stories. The food scene is incredible too you can cook traditional Nepali dishes right alongside local families learning those century-old recipes like Dal Bhat which is this really hearty lentil soup. If you're heading to the Everest region don't miss joining a prayer ceremony at Tengboche Monastery it's quite a spiritual experience. For something really authentic try a homestay with a Gurung family in Hemjakot where you'll get to experience their traditional culture and architecture firsthand in the Annapurna region.
Where Are the Best Natural Areas to Explore?
You've got to check out Chitwan National Park in Nepal it's UNESCO listed and for good reason with its incredible wildlife including Bengal tigers and one-horned rhinos. You can explore by jeep canoe or even elephant rides and the birdwatching walks are fantastic. Then there's Sagarmatha National Park home to Everest itself where you might just spot the elusive snow leopard if you're really lucky. The best way to experience these parks is through organized treks with experienced guides who really know their stuff.
Which Hidden Gems Should You Not Miss?
There's this beautiful trek to Tango Monastery near Thimphu in Bhutan takes about 2-3 hours and the 13th-century monastery at the end is absolutely worth it. The Khamsum Yuellay Namgyel Chorten in Punakha Valley is another gem with this lovely hike through rice fields to reach it. For something more challenging but totally worth it head to Mardi Himal Base Camp in Nepal where you'll get these incredible views of Mt Machhapuchhre at 6997m and the whole Annapurna range.
What Local Food Should You Try?
You absolutely need to try Dal Bhat it's this amazing lentil soup that's basically the backbone of Himalayan cuisine you'll find it everywhere especially in those cozy teahouses along trekking routes. Momos are another must-try they're these delicious steamed dumplings filled with veggies or meat that you'll find all over especially in Kathmandu's street food scene. When you're in Kirtipur make sure to sample some authentic Newari cuisine like Choila which is this spicy grilled buffalo meat and wash it down with some Aila their traditional rice wine.
