You have the option to book your flights separately or to contact us quickly and easily via WhatsApp for a personal flight offer. If you book your flight yourself, please plan your journey so that you arrive at the airport around afternoon to start our Nepal adventure together in the evening. If you add the flight to your booking, we will be happy to do it for you.
After landing at the airport in Kathmandu, your guide will be waiting to take you to your accommodation for the night. You will spend your first evening and the first night of your round trip through Nepal in a beautiful hotel in the heart of Kathmandu. After you have had time to arrive relaxed, you will have the opportunity to get to know your fellow travelers over dinner. Afterwards, you can enjoy a traditional Nepalese dance show - or maybe you'll even get up and dance yourself?

Your highlight today: Explore the temples of the Kathmandu Valley
Today we will explore Patan, the second largest city in the Kathmandu Valley. Here we can immerse ourselves in the culture and history of Nepal and this special city. The Durbar Square allows us to immerse ourselves in the times of long-gone kingdoms, while the Buddhist shrines, temples and stupas give us a feel for the religious way of life of the Nepalese. After some refreshments, we continue on to one of the largest stupas in the world, the Boudhanat Stupa. We can walk around it and learn about the happiness that the stupas are said to bring to their visitors. At the end of the day, we visit the Swayambhunath Stupa, which offers a perfect view of the sunset due to its high position.

For example, you can drive to the Sarangkot Viewpoint, go shopping, canoeing, walk along Lake Phewa or do whatever else you feel like doing.

What is the difference between the original Nepal tour and the Nepal Essentials tour?
Our Nepal Essentials trip is a more compact version of the original Nepal tour. By omitting the Chitwan National Park, the rafting and a cultural day in Kathmandu, we were able to significantly reduce the costs for you. We have also adjusted the number of meals included. However, the accommodation and the rest of the program have remained the same!
How many hours are you on the road during the trek?
The number of hours on the trekking days varies and is of course always dependent on the group dynamics. In general, the hikes are doable with normal fitness, in our itinerary you will find the altitude meters and approximate hours. Our guide is always there for you and together you can enjoy the beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.
How does it work with the luggage during the hike?
You will need a rucksack for the hike, which you will carry yourself. We recommend no more than 10-15 kg. The rest of the luggage that you do not need during the hike can be stored in the hotel.
Do I need to pack special clothes in winter?
You can find all the info for the different seasons in our Packing list. Especially in winter, we strongly recommend you to bring very warm clothes, as it can get very cold during the hike, both during the day and at night.
Do I need my own sleeping bag?
A sleeping bag is optional, as there are plenty of warm blankets on site. Nevertheless, you are welcome to bring your own sleeping bag if you like.
Do you offer trip cancellation insurance?
Should you not be able to fly for health reasons, there is a Travel cancellation insurancee.g. from HanseMerkur.
What is the minimum number of participants for the trip?
This trip has a minimum number of 2 guests. If this number is not reached 30 days before the scheduled date, TripLegend has the right to cancel the trip.
Can I arrive earlier or leave later?
You can individually plan a few days in advance or add a few days to all our trips, as it suits you best. Of course, we are also happy to give you tips for accommodation!
With whom do I share a double room?
By default, you will share a double room with a person of the same sex, but you are also welcome to book a single room.
What does your collaboration with local partners look like in concrete terms?
For us, supporting locals means working only with local guides, staying in local, family-run hotels, and eating at local restaurants. We often have a social/environmental cause that we incorporate into our trips (from volunteering at a wildlife rescue center in Namibia to the support of Buddhist monks in Nepal in their daily work or visiting a school in a Soviet ghost town in Kyrgyzstan and bringing soccer balls, books, pens, etc.).
