The Himalayas, at your own scale.

At every wish, his journey
A cultural journey or days of walking?
Nepal is not a trekking country. The cities of the valley, the landscapes of the counterforts and the southern plains also allow cultural and natural discoveries. The mountain becomes an option to be defined with accuracy, never an obligation.
These ideas help you to choose a direction. Caroline then studies with you the steps, links and possible benefits for your dates.

What you come to find.
Looking towards the mountains
The lake and the landscapes around the city offer a more stable step. The panoramas depend on the conditions of the moment: the stay must keep its interest even when the heights are hidden.
Choose your kind of nature
A accompanied walk and a step in the Chitwan plains correspond to separate projects. Height, movements, comfort and encadrement determine the choice.
Drawing the right steps
Discuss walking in practical terms
The number of hours, the level, the altitude of the nights and the type of accommodation are essential for comparing routes. A beautiful photograph does not indicate the effort required. Health issues are prepared with a health professional.
An itinerary idea to personalise
One of the first discoveries can remain focused on Katmandou and Pokhara. An extension of hiking or to the south is built around your capabilities, connections and days really available.

The guide to make your choices
Prepare your discovery.
Which period should you choose?
The conditions of visibility and access to the roads vary depending on season and altitude. Choose the period based on the precise route rather than a recommendation valid for the whole country.
What will influence your budget
Transportation to destination, the category and location of the nights, travel on the site and accompanied visits are compared together. Give Caroline a cover and your priorities: the project can be adjusted by playing on the steps, comfort or duration, before you stop the services.
Before booking
The formalities and conditions of access are checked for your nationality, your situation and the scheduled dates. Updated practical information is to be consulted with the competent authorities; the report describes the services effectively offered.
Before you launch
Your questions about Nepal.
Can we visit Nepal without a trip?
and yes. A trip can associate valley heritage, neighborhood discovery and stay in Pokhara. The level of walking of each visit is specified before booking.
How can I plan my Nepal trip with Odyssée Voyages?
Contact Caroline by phone or by email with your dates, duration, number of travellers and priorities. A first study allows to clarify the possibilities, before any detailed proposal.
Are these ideas matching an already scheduled accompanying start?
not to. This page is an inspiration for a personalized project. The accompanied departies actually published are presented in the accompanied travel section, with their own information.
Take discovery further
Nepal’s valleys and trails, with mountains in their rightful place
Nepal is also uncovered without a big trek. Katmandou and the cities in its valley gather places, temples and traditions that deserve several days. Controforts, landscapes around Pokhara and Southern Plains offer other approaches. The stay can be cultural and landscape before becoming a high mountain adventure.
The word must be specified. Urban walk, a few hours on a path and several roaming days require different efforts and organizations. Your experience and your desire for comfort help build the project, without making the top or distance a goal imposed on everyone.
Two directions to shape your journey
What thread will connect your itinerary?
Ideas for discovery to personalise according to your dates, pace and local possibilities.
Kathmandu Valley and the surroundings of Pokhara
Katmandou, Patan and Bhaktapur can be discovered through the squares, architectures and life of the neighborhoods. They deserve more than a quick photographic passage. The good bases allow to change explained visits and free moments, without having to unnecessarily cross the valley every day. Pauses also give time to understand the places.
Pokhara brings the lake frame and reliefs around. The visibility of the mountains depends on the sky. The stage must be chosen for the whole of its atmosphere and possible discoveries, examining real connections rather than assuming a short and unleashed journey on a single map.
A carefully chosen walk, or another region to discover
A hiking in the counterforts can complement the culture if land and duration suits you. Steps, possible carrying, nights and framework must be specified. A trek in altitude constitutes another project: its preparation does not confuse with that of a cultural circuit, even when its name is well known.
Lumbini's heritage or the natural environments around Chitwan open another thread in the south. These discoveries change the meaning of the stay instead of simply replacing a mountain step. Animals remain free; respectful observation and absence of compulsory contact must be the first to seek a guaranteed encounter.
Describe a comfortable day
Duration, unlevel, stairs, ground and quality of the nights are more useful than the only easy or sports words. They can adjust the route to travelers.
Allow margins for connections
Local routes and conditions influence travel. Margins, especially before the return, avoid accumulating stages whose correspondences become too fragile.
Choose mountain travel for the right reasons
View from an accommodation, panoramic walk and trek don't give the same experience. No panorama should be promised regardless of weather conditions.
Give the journey the right pace
A dozen days can form a first cultural and landscape discovery. Adding several days of walking requires a review of the duration. The mountain requires its own preparation, its access and its margins; these signs do not constitute a proposal of trek.
Extend without spreading too thin
Architecture, nature and cultures can guide a completely Nepali stay, with a more quiet last step if desired. A regional combination is studied according to the country’s priorities, verifying the connections and the effective conditions of the project.
