Nepal 18-Day Trekking Tours & Itineraries

Explore 3 trekking trips designed by local kimkim specialists to get ideas for your trip to Nepal.

Over 18 days you can travel from one historic area of the country to another, from hiking around the Everest Region to taking a wildlife safari through the lowland jungles of Chitwan National Park. For a more off-the-beaten-path adventure, trek around Manaslu Mountain, which includes walks over suspension bridges and crossing a 17,000-foot (5,100-meter) Himalayan pass. Yet another option is the Annapurna Circuit Trek which passes exotic cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara as well as high-altitude lakes.
