Cultural Tours

One of the most intriguing things to discover about another culture is what daily life looks like. What do their houses look like, how/what do they cook on a normal day, how to people spend their free time? These questions and many, many more are answered through experience on our cultural tours. They’re a great way to discover the country or as an add-on to your trekking trip.

You could spend time with a family in a village homestay or tour around from temple to temple. In the varied terrain and altitude of the Himalayan region you could be sharing a cup of salty butter tea with a yak herder of the high Himalaya one day and be helping prepare fern shoots for dinner in the low lands of Nepal the next.

Highly recommended! Hiked to BC, followed by an epic 3-High-Passes trek. This was the third time I travelled with the Himalayan Trails team. Mads, the backoffice team, guides (Tendu) and porters always go above and beyond to make this it memorable experience! This time - despite adverse weather conditions - (we've lost 4 days at the beginning of the trip) they somehow managed to get us to the end without missing out on anything. I will be back, for sure!

I was genuinely excited about this trip, as it was my first solo adventure. Despite the unexpected circumstances I encountered upon arriving in Nepal, my guides were attentive and dedicated, going above and beyond to ensure I had a great experience and could stick to my itinerary. I would definitely recommend this trip!
