Trekking in Nepal

An Unforgettable Himalayan Adventure
Trekking in Nepal is one of the most popular activities for adventure seekers in the Himalayan country. Typical trekking holidays in Nepal involve 4 to 9 hours of hiking per day. The trails vary from easy walking at lower elevations to strenuous hiking at altitudes over 5,000 meters in the Himalayan Valleys and passes. Along the way, trekkers are captivated not only by the stunning landscapes but also by the diverse people from different ethnic groups they encounter, offering a rare opportunity to experience Nepal’s rich cultural diversity.

A common misconception is that slow walkers may hold others back. This is not true! Group members often spread out, with usually an hour or two between the first to arrive and the last. You can walk at your own pace, taking breaks whenever you feel the need. A member of our staff will always be nearby to ensure your safety and guide you to your destination. We carefully design each trekking day to be both enjoyable and safe, with the companionship of fellow trekkers and staff adding to the experience. Be prepared to make lasting friendships!

Camping Treks in Nepal
Blossom Expeditions provides all camping equipment, including two-man tents, mattresses, tables, chairs, dining, and toilet tents, along with all cooking and eating utensils. Each group is accompanied by a guide, assistant guides, a cook, cook assistants, and porters. The guide organizes the appropriate number of porters to carry food, equipment, and personal gear. Your day typically begins at 6 A.M. with a cup of tea brought to your tent and a bowl of warm wash water. After packing your kit bag, breakfast is served. While you enjoy your meal, the staff strikes camp and sets off. After three to four hours of walking, you’ll stop for lunch—a light-cooked meal—followed by a rest during the hottest part of the day. In the afternoon, you’ll walk another two to three hours, with tea and biscuits awaiting you upon arrival at camp. Tents are promptly erected by our staff, and after sunset, a hot three-course dinner is served. The food provided is the best available, blending Nepalese and Western cuisines, with staples like rice, noodles, potatoes, fresh vegetables, cheese, and eggs.

Lodge Treks in Nepal
Lodge treks, also known as tea house treks, accommodate small groups with one or two guides and porters who carry your gear. The guide arranges food and lodging throughout the trek. You’ll stay at small tea houses or guest houses that meet basic needs. Some lodges offer a long menu, bottled drinking water, hot showers, and attached bathrooms, while others are more primitive, with communal sleeping areas and only Dal Bhat on the menu. Lodge treks are available only in regions with suitable accommodations, so be prepared for a range of lodging experiences. A willingness to rough it a little can open the door to spots that the typical trekker will never get to see.
