Nepali adventures
Experience Nepal with an adventurous twist!
Embark on a private trek along lesser-visited tracks, navigate the currents of gushing rivers in a raft, bike through forests and distant villages to watch sunsets over serene lakes, or take to the sky in a paraglider for a clear view of the distant peaks.
Whichever adventure you choose to take on, each one is a very personal experience, which is why one of our options is a private trek tailored to your preferences. We guide you away from the busiest routes, usually exploring the lesser-traversed Modi River Valley, near Pokhara. There are so many ways to explore Nepal tailored to the type of travel that suits you, so let us talk you through just a few…

With every detail finely tuned by our Asia Specialists.
These are just some of the ways to combine a rush of adrenaline with the exhilarating Nepali mountainscapes:
- Our specialists can design you a personalised, private trek that takes in valleys peppered with wildflowers, traditional hillside villages and snow-capped Himalayan peaks rising above morning mists.
- Stay with and support local families in remote villages to gain insight into their lives and a new vantage point of your own.
- Trek in comfort around the circuit of family-owned, premium lodges that can be found lining a lesser-visited valley.
- Paraglide through the skies over Pokhara Lake to gain a bird’s-eye view of the majestic ranges.
- Paddle through the rushing rapids of the Trishuli River, keeping one eye on the gushing waters below and one on the alpine scenery above.
- Mountain bike to the ancient city and silk farms of Panauti, take in the sunset over the Narayani River or gently cruise around Pokhara Lake.
Tranquil trekking - Peaceful and scenic
The Modi Valley trek (2 – 6 days) takes you on a gentle hike through traditional Gurung and Magar villages, set among terraced fields and framed by the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. Stay in comfort at your choice of combination of the six Mountain Lodges of Nepal that create a circuit of easy day walks.
Tranquil trekking - Challenging adventure
The Pikey Peak trek (4-5 days) summits one of the highest hills in the Solu region to offer you Edmund Hilarey’s favourite view of Everest. You will trek through dense rhododendron forests, past the Thubten Choling Monastery, and through remote Sherpa villages.
Tranquil trekking - Cultural experience
The Bandipur trek (1 day) is a short and relatively gentle walk through the beautiful town and surrounds of Bandipur. It combines views of the Himalayan range and Marsyangdi Valley with traditional Newari architecture and culture.
Why hike when you can bike?
There is no end of world-class biking trails in Nepal – mainly centred on the downhill thrills near Phaplu – but these are suited to more experienced riders. For those not quite so firmly in the saddle, we can arrange shorter and gentler rides through rural villages and beautiful countryside.
Kickstart your journey on many of these trails while staying in a family home, supporting local families and their community. Explore the old town of Panauti and visit nearby silk farms and orange groves. Cycle around the peaceful village of Barauli and end your day watching the sunset over the Narayani River. Enjoy a lake circuit in Pokhara with trips further afield for views of the peaks from the hilltop village of Sarangkot.
Why float when you can boat?
Those who like their views of the Himalayas accompanied by more than a splash or two of water can ride the rapids in a raft on the Trisuli River.
We recommend combining this with a stay in the eco-friendly Summit River Lodge, whose setting amid 20,000 square feet of beautiful countryside makes a perfect stopover on the journey between Kathmandu and Pokhara.
Why ride when you can glide?
Sarangkot – near Pokhara – is blessed with the perfect conditions for tandem paragliding, with views over a glistening lake, a lush valley, and the peaks of Annapurna, Machapuchare, and Dhaulagiri. Adrenaline-seekers can get strapped in for an exhilarating shot of scenery.
