I am happy to share that I now also offer trek packages in Nepal!
I first came to Nepal in 2015, and since then I visited Nepal almost every year. After leaving my job in humanitarian work, I came back to live Kathmandu in 2023.
In the past 10 years, I had the chance to travel extensively in Nepal, and I started my travel blog to offer advice for travellers planning to visit Nepal. I have done a couple of treks in Nepal, but I still consider every trek a once in a lifetime opportunity. For this reason, I decided to plan trekking trips in Nepal, so that more travellers have the chance to experience trekking in the Himalayas!
To offer the best treks and services possible, I set up a partnership with a Nepali trekking agency that has over 15 years of experience in running high quality treks. We have set itineraries for each trek, however, they can all be adjusted and customized if you have any specific requirements.
Why Choose This Nepal Trek Package?
There are many trekking agencies, so it can be hard to decide which one to choose. When you book through me (Travelling Mandala), you get the support both from me (a foreigner living in Nepal since 2023) and an experienced Nepali trekking agency. I don’t go on the trek myself, but I provide support before, during and after the trek.
All the treks are led by experienced trekking guides who speak good English and know the trekking routes and areas well. In case you’d like to have a female trekking guide, we can also arrange it.
Is Booking a Trek Package for You?
A trek package is great if you want a stress-free holiday, having everything organized for you. You don’t have to worry about accommodation, transport or getting the permits – it is all arranged for you!
A Trek Package is for You if:
➡️ You are not sure where to start and feel overwhelmed to organize a trek in Nepal! In our trek packages, everything is organized for you from the moment you land in Kathmandu to the moment you leave (including accommodation, transport, guide, permits)
➡️ You don’t have time and energy to plan a trip.
➡️ You want extra support during your trip: You have the support both from an experienced Nepali trekking agency and me (a foreigner who has been visiting Nepal since 2015, and lives in Kathmandu since 2023).
➡️ The trek packages I run are only for you and your friends/family you book the trip with. You will not be put into a group with other travellers – However if you would like to join other travellers on a trek and form a group, let me know, it is also possible to join you with other trekkers.
➡️ The treks run throughout the year and can be booked for a date convenient for you. You can also contact me for the best times to go on a trek in Nepal (generally between October to mid-December, and mid-February to May).
➡️ If you have any preferences regarding the trek packages, each package can be customized to fit your needs – just let me know!

FAQs
What is accommodation like during the trip?
The package includes accommodation in 3 star hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara with breakfast included. The hotels are located in the main tourist areas: Thamel in Kathmandu, and in Lakeside in Pokhara. Lunch and dinner are excluded in Kathmandu/Pokhara but there are many restaurants and cafes in the area serving both Nepali and international dishes.
During the trek, the accommodation is in basic teahouses. The teahouses have twin rooms that are shared between 2 trekkers in the group.
What is food like on the trek?
The package includes 3 meals per day during the trek (breakfast, lunch, dinner). There are various dishes in the teahouses, both Nepali and international dishes: dal bhat (the national dish of Nepal), pizza, momo, pancake, omelette, and many others.
Apart from the 3 meals, any other snacks, dessert or drinks (coffee, soft drinks, alcohol) are not included.
How many people will be on my trek?
You will only be trekking with your own group that you book the trek with – you will not be put in a group with other travellers.
I run the groups up to 6 people, however, if you would like to book a trek for a bigger group, just email me and I can send you the information and price corresponding to the group size.
If you prefer to join other travellers on a trek and form a group, let me know, it is also possible to join you with other trekkers.
How to get a visa for Nepal?
Most nationalities can get a visa on arrival for Nepal. The process can be completed after landing at the Kathmandu airport, and we will provide information and advice on getting the tourist visa.
Is there wifi/internet network on the treks?
Yes, on most of the trekking routes, there is wifi available in the teahouses! However, there can be exceptions in case the wifi network is unavailable. In case the wifi is down, it usually comes back after a couple of hours, however, it may happen that you don’t have wifi for 1-2 days.
You usually have to pay extra for wifi at the teahouses, around Rs. 300 (USD2).
On some trekking routes, you also have some network coverage, however, it can be very unreliable. You should still get a local SIM card, Nepal Telecom (Namaste) generally has better coverage than NCell in the mountains.
