Quick Details
This low altitude trek, by Himalayan standards (highest altitude is 3250 m), on the Annapurna foothills is devised explicitly for families. On our Nepal family trekking holiday, we include time in traditional Hindu villages, where the local children regard the Himalayas as their playground.
Our fully supported lodge-to-lodge program allows us to enjoy the comfort of staying in teahouses. In each place we stop, we can join our delightful crew playing board or card games or even volleyball and cricket. There is also time to visit the local schools and markets, where cultural horizons are so different from your own. In all, there are many opportunities and learning experiences to keep both you and your children occupied while getting enthralled.
During this introductory graded trek, we hike through magnificent oak and rhododendron forests as we ascend to alpine meadows that provide spectacular views of the Annapurna Range. We travel towards Chitwan National Park, where everyone feels youthful again as you ride atop elephants in search of rhino and the rare royal Bengal tiger after completing our trek.
For added comfort, convenience, and safety, we are one of the few operators to provide the best meals on your trek. Who wants to search for a hygienic and hearty dinner after a hard day’s trekking? Our trained chefs cater to your family’s dietary requirements and ensure a high level of hygiene, along with the most varied and healthiest meals in the Himalayas.
