Discover the real
Nepal.
You can visit a country in two ways:
Superficially — seeing monuments without truly understanding them — or by diving into its essence and feeling part of it.
My promise to travelers is that you’ll feel part of a wonderful people: that you’ll taste our food, dance with us, share our energy, feel our gods, and leave with Nepal in your heart.
All tours can be personalized according to your preferences. Here are some ideas to inspire your journey.
🏠 Homestay package
We are happy to welcome you into our home in the village of Langol — a place where life moves slowly, neighbors still call from their windows, and the mountains watch over us. Our homestay packages can be shaped around what you need, but the heart of the experience is always the same: living as part of a Nepali family, with comfort, warmth, and space to breathe.
Come alone, with friends, or with family — you will be received as one of us. We can pick you up from Kathmandu, or you can arrive by local bus, the same one our villagers use every day.
The itinerary below is only a guide. Weather, energy, curiosity… everything can change the flow, and that is part of the beauty. Entry tickets to heritage sites are not included, and you’re free to choose the experiences that call to you. If you have any special wishes, just let us know.
Sample Itinerary
Arrive
We welcome you to Langol with tea, cookies, and time to settle into the rhythm of our home. Belku cooks dinner from her garden, and you can ask us anything you want.
Village Tour
After breakfast, we walk together through villages, rice fields, small homes, and the paths where local life unfolds. We share drinks in workers’ cafés, visit a sacred lake, meet neighbors, and return home at sunset for dinner.
Kathmandu Sightseeing
A day among stupas, temples, and old streets full of stories. We move at your pace and return home to rest before dinner.
Champa Devi
A beautiful climb behind our village, passing remote hamlets and forests until the hill opens to a view of Kathmandu — and, when the sky is kind, the Himalayas. We eat on the way and visit a monastery before returning home.
Bhaktapur
A day exploring one of the most ancient and soulful towns in Nepal, filled with wood carvings, old palaces, and timeless squares.
Patan & Durbar Squares
Historic temples, artisans, old royal courtyards, and time for wandering or shopping. In the evening, Belku prepares a special Dhal Bhat — and if you want to learn, she will happily teach you.
After breakfast on your final morning, we take you to the airport or bus station. If you return to us after trekking, we can keep your bags safe with us.
Unseen Nepal
Babu spent months walking these paths, speaking with elders, sharing tea in small kitchens, and learning the stories of villages rarely visited by outsiders. This trek was created with “foot power” only — the way Nepalis have moved through these hills for generations.
On this journey, you won’t just pass through landscapes; you’ll meet people who live far from the noise of the modern world. You’ll walk among pines, cross quiet lakes, share warm tea in simple homes, and watch the mountains appear like guardians at the edge of the sky.
If the weather smiles on us, you may see the range stretch from Dhaulagiri to Mount Everest — a gift usually reserved for long expeditions.
Food, water, tea, and humble shared accommodation are included. This trek is not about comfort; it is about connection — embracing the real Nepali way of life, without western habits or distractions. Just the mountains, the villages, and you.
Day 1 — Into the hills
We begin early from Babu’s home, walking gradually up through the jungle toward Chandragiri. At the top, we rest with a simple lunch and tea before descending into the peaceful valley of Chitlang. Here, a family welcomes us into their home for dinner and the night.
Day 2 — Hidden villages
After a traditional breakfast, we follow paths that weave through small Newari villages, fields, and forests. By afternoon we reach Palung, then climb towards Daman — a viewpoint where the Himalayas open wide on clear days. We continue to Simbhanjyang, the highest point of the trek, and stay in a family lodge.
Day 3 — Forests and lake
We descend through pine forests along sandy trails until the lake appears below — the one that lights most of Kathmandu. In Markhu, a family lodge hosts us by the water. Dinner is fresh fish from the lake, or a warm Dal Bhat for those who prefer it.
Day 4 — Back to everyday Nepal
After breakfast, we cross a long suspension bridge into Markhu village and take the local bus back toward Kirtipur. It’s a beautiful way to see how Nepalis travel. After lunch, we walk back to the homestay, carrying with us the quiet strength of the hills.
Local tours Katmandú
Our Kathmandu day tour is not just about seeing monuments; it’s about feeling the heartbeat of the city — its temples, its people, its ancient stories whispered between prayer wheels and incense smoke.
We’ll spend the day visiting three UNESCO heritage sites that define the spirit of the Valley:
Swayambhunath, the old stupa watching over Kathmandu;
Pashupatinath, where life and death meet along the holy river;
and Boudhanath, where pilgrims circle the great dome in quiet devotion.
We stop for lunch in a local restaurant of your choice — simple, traditional, or more modern if you prefer (lunch is not included).
Getting to Kathmandu can be as local or as comfortable as you wish: bus, taxi, or private car. Just tell us how you feel like traveling that day.
Each temple has its own small entrance fee, which you pay directly at the site.
Difficulty: Easy, gentle walking.
Bring: sun protection, comfortable shoes, water, and your camera — but above all, bring curiosity.
Season: All year.
This tour is meant to show you Kathmandu as we know it: lively, sacred, chaotic, beautiful — and unforgettable.
Mountains
Beyond our village, the Himalaya opens its arms.
If you dream of walking through ancient trails, quiet forests, high ridges and skies that feel close enough to touch, we can guide you there.
We offer beautiful Himalayan tours on request — journeys shaped around your pace, your heart, and the kind of adventure you wish to live.
Just ask, and we’ll create a route that lets you feel the mountains in their purest form.
