Prices are per person and include all taxes. Where a lower price is shown, it is the Early Bird price for that named departure; the higher crossed price is the standard price. The two departures shown for 28 November–5 December 2027 are separate 12-place booking allocations. One is led by Bader and one by Haneen. The published itinerary and current displayed price are the same for both; use the Team Leader column and matching booking link to distinguish them. Booking and payment: A 20% deposit secures your place and is non-refundable except where the Booking Terms provide otherwise. The remaining balance is due 60 calendar days before departure; bookings made within 60 days require full payment at booking. Interest-free instalments may be available, with a 1.6% administration charge paid upfront and the final instalment due no later than 60 days before departure. Credit-card payments carry a 2.5% transaction charge. Bank-transfer and currency-conversion charges are paid by the traveller. Review the current Booking Terms before payment. Room sharing and single accommodation: The standard trip price uses shared rooms, with solo travellers normally paired with another traveller of the same sex. The £260 single-room upgrade, including all taxes, covers all five hotel nights in Kathmandu, Pokhara and Bandipur. It does not cover the two tea-house nights during the trekking portion. The upgrade is subject to availability and must be selected or confirmed at booking. Tips and optional costs: Tips are discretionary and excluded. Current guidance is approximately EUR 65 or USD 75 for the local guides and support staff, separate from the suggested USD 200 personal-spending allowance. The spending allowance is for personal purchases such as souvenirs, snacks and other optional extras; it is not a fixed charge. Included activities are optional to attend.

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THIS TRIP
WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED IN THIS TRIP
DAY 1: WELCOME TO WILD KATHMANDU
Kathmandu is an incredible, vibrant, and wild city that we’ve fallen in love with. That’s why we’re always so excited to welcome you on the first day and share the gateway to the Himalayas with you.
On arrival day, you’ll be met by an LHO representative at the airport and driven to our centrally located hotel by private transfer. Navigating Kathmandu airport can be an adventure in and of itself, so you’ll receive a text with detailed instructions on how to efficiently make your way to us.
Your LHO Team Leader will be waiting to greet you at our hotel, check you in, and ensure you have everything you need for our adventure. If you arrive early, there are plenty of incredible places to visit around us. Your LHO Team Leader will send you a detailed list of restaurants, coffee shops, heritage sites, and markets to visit closer to your trip start date so you can make the most of your time.
Our first official event of the trip is a team dinner at 7:30 pm, hosted by your LHO Team Leader and local lead guide. This will be your first opportunity to meet everyone, ask any questions you have, hear all about the amazing week ahead of us, and enjoy a great meal. The first round of drinks is on us! Although it’s tempting not to be tempted by the nearby nightlife, we recommend an early rest to recover from your travels. We’ll have plenty of time throughout the week to enjoy the nightlife as well.
DAY 2: INTO THE WILD AND OUT OF THE BLUE
Our first day together starts early as we try to leave Kathmandu before the famous traffic grips the streets during morning rush hour. For those of us feeling motivated, there will be a morning Yoga session led by our Guru before breakfast. You’ll receive a Yoga mat from us that you’ll get to keep for the journey and take home with you at the end.
After breakfast, we’ll board our private bus and head onto the Kathmandu-Pokhara highway. The road is an adventure unto itself, but thankfully we won’t be on it for too long because we’ll be covering a big chunk of the day’s distance on a raft! The bus will drop us off at the Trishuli river, where we’ll be met by our local team of experts. We’ll be briefed on the safety measures taken during rafting, learn about the different bits of equipment we’ll be using, and then board our rafts for an epic ride!
The ride down the river combines wild rapids with calm waters, giving us an opportunity to feel the rush but also relax and enjoy it. The rafting session ends at a local riverbank settlement where we’ll be able to change our clothes and have lunch before being met by our transportation and taken to the incredible town of Bandipur, a heritage town on the hilltops. Our accommodation in Bandipur is a cultural gem that makes the entire experience extra special. There will be a yoga/meditation session led by our guru in the evening followed by dinner. Sleeping after a day like today comes easy.
DAY 3: THE FOOTHILLS OF ANNAPURNA
Distance: 4 KM | Ascend: 412 M | Descend: 55 M | Max Altitude: 2,012 M
After our early morning Yoga session on the hotel rooftop, we’ll have breakfast, check out, and jump onto our private bus. We’ll be heading to the foothills of the Annapurna region for two incredible days of trekking. The drive to the Annapurna region takes about three hours.
We’ll be shuttled to the town of Kimchi, the starting point of our trek. We’ll have a quick bite to eat at a local teahouse before taking our first steps on the trail into the Annapurna Sanctuary. The trail immediately begins with a series of stairs that’ll surely warm us up for the days ahead. The early portion of the trail is an opportunity for us to learn how to pace ourselves and find a sustainable rhythm that will carry us all the way to Ghandruk. The town itself is a hub of heritage in the region with beautiful local architecture and tiny market streets. As this is our first night in a teahouse, we’ll do a quick briefing about how everything works, and then we’ll get everyone checked into their rooms. Depending on what time we arrive, we may have the opportunity for a quick yoga/meditation session before dinner at the teahouse.
DAY 4: TREKKING TO THE JINHU HOT SPRINGS
Distance: 6.1 KM | Ascend: 410 M | Descend: 675 M | Max Altitude: 2,012 M
From the moment the sun comes up, we’ll be able to see the incredible Annapurna mountain range, including sacred Machhapuchhre (Fishtail Mountain). This is one of the most beautiful panoramas in Nepal and will serve as the backdrop to our morning yoga session. After breakfast, we’ll check out of our teahouse and follow the trail through the center of the town and down towards the river valley.
It’s very common to spot monkeys along this trail as we go deeper and deeper into the dense forests. The trail itself is moderate, and having trekking poles to hand is extremely useful to protect the knees. We’ll stop for lunch at a teahouse at the junction with Landruk before continuing along the flat trail towards New Bridge. Near New Bridge, we cross a suspension bridge before continuing to Jhinu Danda, the gateway to the hot springs. After checking into our teahouse, we’ll have the opportunity to head down to the riverside where the hot springs are located for an afternoon of relaxation and enjoyment. Once we’ve had our fix, we’ll head back to the teahouse for dinner and rest.
DAY 5: I'M NEVER LEAVING POKHARA
Distance: 1 KM | Ascend: 100 M | Descend: 163 M | Max Altitude: 1,564 M
We’ll begin our last morning in the mountains with a full session of Yoga and meditation before having breakfast and checking out of the teahouse. Our walk today takes about 45 minutes only. We’ll descend back across New Bridge and follow the flat trail to the dirt road. From there, we’ll jump on our 4×4 transportation until we reach Nayapul, where our private bus will be waiting.
The ride down in the 4×4 is an experience. Thankfully, we have massages waiting for us in Pokhara! After a short bus ride to the town, we’ll check into our hotel and head out for lunch. During lunch, your Team Leader or guide will let you know about the rest of our activities for the day. The afternoon is spent at our pre-booked massage spa followed by a leisurely boat ride on Lake Phewa. It’s possible to trek to the World Peace Pagoda about the lake for those of us feeling motivated. Otherwise, the afternoon is free to roam around the town and check out the market streets. Your LHO Team Leader or guide will let you know where and when our team dinner will take place.
DAY 6: TURNING IT UP A NOTCH
Our second day in Pokhara starts with a Yoga session followed by breakfast. At 10:00 AM, we’ll be picked up by our paragliding team and taken to the take-off area in Sarangkot where we’ll receive a full safety briefing. Paragliding is very dependent on the wind conditions. This may mean that our session could be delayed until the afternoon, or we may need to wait a little bit before taking off. In some rare instances, it may not be possible to fly at all. Safety comes first at all times, and we’ll keep you updated with whatever changes we feel will maintain our margin for safety and better the itinerary as a whole for everyone’s enjoyment. Once we do take off, the flight time can vary from 20 minutes to an hour also depending on the wind conditions. The views are incredible with the Annapurna range in the background and Lake Phewa ahead of us. The landing zone is near the lake and only a short distance from Pokhara town center where we’ll have lunch together. Once we’ve digested, we’ll jump back onto our transport for another adrenaline-packed activity. This time, we’ll take part in a guided zip-line experience near Pokhara. Upon arrival, we’ll once again go through a safety briefing before jumping into our harnesses for an epic Himalayan experience. Once done, we’ll return to Pokhara for a free afternoon to roam around and enjoy our last sunset on Lake Phewa. Your LHO Team Leader will let you know where and when your last dinner in Pokhara will be.
DAY 7: THE GRAND FINALE
Yes, the trail is now behind us, but the adventure isn’t over yet! After breakfast, we’ll check out of our hotel and make our way back to Pokhara airport to catch our flight to Kathmandu. Lunch may be in Pokhara, at the airport, or in Kathmandu, depending entirely on when the plane takes off because of anticipated delays with internal flights. The good news is that we don’t have to wait at the airport if we are made aware of the flight delay before check-in. Once back in Kathmandu, we’ll make our way to the hotel and check-in. The afternoon is free time to roam the market streets, buy souvenirs, and rest. For those of us who’d like to do some local sightseeing, Your LHO Team Leader will be available to take you. You can also reach out for other recommendations like bars, shops, and cafes. Our last official event is a bittersweet team dinner at the hotel to close an epic chapter that we’ve shared together. The last round of drinks is on us!
DAY 8: NAMASTE
The last day is dedicated to airport transfers. Breakfast at the hotel is included. Please be sure to include the correct departure information when filling out your team details form prior to the trip start date. If any information has changed or may be incorrect, please inform your Team Leader as soon as possible for arrangements to be made.

LEARN MOREWhat activities will we be experiencing during this Nepal adventure trip?
This Nepal adventure tour is a carefully curated blend of adrenaline, culture and mindfulness. You will experience paragliding over Himalayan landscapes, white water rafting on wild rivers, zip lining through lush gorges and trekking in the Annapurna region. Alongside these adventure activities in Nepal, each day is balanced with moments of stillness—guided yoga sessions, meditation and sound bowl healing. Cultural exploration includes visits to heritage villages like Bandipur and Ghandruk, as well as iconic sites such as the Boudhanath Stupa and World Peace Pagoda.
Do I need experience in any of the activities on this Nepal adventure to participate?
Not at all. This Nepal adventure holiday is designed for all levels, and no prior experience is needed in any of the activities. Whether it’s your first time rafting, paragliding, practicing yoga or trekking in the Himalayas, our expert guides and instructors will support you every step of the way. The goal is to challenge yourself at your own pace and enjoy a fully immersive experience—no pressure, just presence.
What if I'd like to skip an activity on this Nepal Adventure Tour?
That’s absolutely fine. While this Nepal adventure tour offers a full range of experiences—from zip lining to yoga—everything is optional. We understand that everyone connects with adventure in their own way, and you’re free to sit out any activity and enjoy some downtime instead. Our team will always help you find the right balance between rest and adventure.
How fit do I need to be to join this Nepal multi-activity adventure?
You don’t need to be an athlete to join this Nepal multi-activity adventure, but a moderate level of fitness will help you enjoy the experience fully. Activities like trekking, rafting, and zip lining involve some physical effort, but they are paced to suit a wide range of abilities. If you can comfortably walk for a few hours, you’re likely fit enough. Our guides are there to support you, and there’s always room to pause, rest, and take things at your own rhythm.
Where will we be staying during this experience? Can I have my own room?
Throughout this Nepal adventure holiday, you’ll stay in a mix of carefully selected accommodations that reflect the spirit of the journey—from charming heritage hotels in Bandipur to peaceful lodges in the Annapurna region and boutique stays in Pokhara and Kathmandu. All accommodations are clean, comfortable, and locally rooted to give you an authentic feel of Nepal.
Rooms are shared by default, but if you prefer your own space, single rooms can be arranged at an additional cost—just let us know when booking and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request.
What is included—and what should I budget separately?
The core eight-day itinerary is highly inclusive: airport pickup on arrival and departure transfer, the listed accommodation, domestic transport, guided activities, entrance fees, yoga and meditation sessions, trip photography, and meals from the welcome dinner through the farewell dinner are included. International flights, Nepal entry visa, personal medical, travel and cancellation insurance, tips or gratuities, extra nights and individual changes or early departure are not included.
What's the expected temperature on this experience?
Most of the time, you can expect mild and pleasant weather, with daytime temperatures hovering around 20°C. In the early mornings and at night—especially in higher altitudes—it can drop to around 10°C. We recommend bringing layers so you can stay comfortable throughout both the adventure activities and the quieter moments of the journey.
How much cash should I bring?
We recommend bringing around 200 USD for personal spending on this trip. Since all meals are included, your cash will mainly go toward souvenirs, snacks, or any optional extras along the way. This estimate does not include discretionary tipping, which we suggest budgeting at approximately 65 EUR or 75 USD. Tipping is always appreciated and goes directly to the local guides and support staff who help make the experience so special.
Will my trip be led by an LHO Team Leader?
Yes. Your trip is coordinated by an LHO Team Leader, who will be present and available for Kathmandu based events, including arrival, welcome briefings, team dinners, and departure support. On the trail and during specialist activities such as rafting, trekking, yoga, paragliding, ziplining, and transfers, your main point of support will be our trusted local guides, activity instructors, a local yoga instructor, and the on-ground operations team. Your LHO Team Leader will remain available to you by phone, message, or in person where relevant. This allows each part of the journey to be delivered by the right expert while keeping the Life Happens Outdoors standard, rhythm, and care throughout the trip.
