Pokhara Village Walk

The Pokhara Village Walk takes you away from the lakeside tourist area into the terraced hillsides where Gurung and Magar families live and farm. Over a few hours of gentle walking through rice paddies, vegetable gardens, and forest paths, you visit homes where families welcome you into their kitchens, share their daily routines, and show you the agriculture that sustains hill communities throughout Nepal.

A cooking demonstration with a local family is the centrepiece — learning to prepare dal bhat, sel roti, or other local dishes using ingredients from the kitchen garden. The walk returns to Pokhara by afternoon, leaving time for lakeside activities.

Community Impact

This walk is led by guides from the villages you visit. Cooking demonstrations and meals are provided by local families who receive the full fee. Your visit supports families who are building tourism livelihoods alongside their farming.

Begnas Lake Day Tour

Begnas Lake is Pokhara’s quiet alternative to busy Phewa Lake — a serene body of water east of the city where mountains reflect in still water, fishing boats drift silently, and the lakeshore villages carry on their daily farming and fishing routines without tourist crowds. The Begnas Lake Day Tour takes you to this peaceful corner for a boat ride, village walk, and lakeside lunch.

The surrounding villages are farming communities where the pace of life is gentle and the scenery is beautiful. Fish farms along the lakeshore supply the restaurants that serve fresh fish — the lunch here is one of the best meals in the Pokhara area. An optional walk across the forested ridge connects Begnas to Rupa Lake, the third of Pokhara’s trio of lakes.

Pashupatinath and Boudhanath Spiritual Tour

This half-day spiritual tour visits Nepal’s two most sacred religious sites — Pashupatinath Temple, the holiest Hindu shrine in the country, and Boudhanath Stupa, one of the most important Buddhist pilgrimage sites in Asia. They sit just a few kilometres apart in Kathmandu, and together they represent the extraordinary religious harmony that defines Nepal.

At Pashupatinath, you walk along the Bagmati River ghats where cremation ceremonies take place daily, observe the sadhus and priests, and learn about the Shaivite Hindu traditions that center on this ancient temple. At Boudhanath, you join the circumambulation of the great stupa, visit surrounding monasteries, and experience the Tibetan Buddhist community that has made this area a living centre of practice since the Tibetan diaspora.

Pokhara Adventure Day

Pokhara is Nepal’s adventure capital — and the Pokhara Adventure Day packs the best of it into a single day. The centrepiece is tandem paragliding from Sarangkot, flying over Phewa Lake with the Annapurna range as your backdrop — one of the most scenic paragliding experiences in the world. No experience needed; you fly with a certified instructor.

Beyond paragliding, Pokhara offers zip-lining, bungee jumping, ultra-light flights, and zip-line swings. You can combine multiple activities in one day or focus on the one that calls to you. All operators we work with are certified, insured, and experienced with first-time participants.

Community Impact

Adventure operators in Pokhara employ local pilots, instructors, and ground crew. Your activity supports the local adventure tourism industry that has become a significant employer in the Pokhara region.

Kirtipur Heritage Day Tour

Kirtipur is the Kathmandu Valley’s most authentic Newari hilltop town — a fortress settlement that resisted the Gorkha conquest longer than any other city in the valley. Today, its medieval streets, temples, and traditional houses remain largely intact, and the town receives a fraction of the tourists that flood nearby Bhaktapur. A day in Kirtipur feels like stepping back centuries while being just 5km from central Kathmandu.

The hilltop location offers panoramic views of the entire valley and the Himalayan range beyond. The Bagh Bhairab Temple (dedicated to the tiger god) and the Chilancho Stupa are architectural highlights, but the real pleasure is simply walking the narrow lanes, watching weavers at work, and sitting down for samay baji — the traditional Newari feast plate — at a local restaurant.

Chitwan Safari Day Tour

The Chitwan Safari Day Tour packs the essential Chitwan experience into a single day — a jeep safari through the national park, a canoe ride on the Rapti River, and a visit to a Tharu village. While a multi-day stay is ideal, this day tour gives travellers with limited time a genuine taste of Nepal’s premier wildlife destination.

The morning jeep safari covers grassland and forest habitats where one-horned rhinoceros, spotted deer, langur monkeys, and numerous bird species are commonly sighted. The canoe ride floats past basking mugger and gharial crocodiles. A village visit introduces you to the Tharu community — the indigenous people of the Terai lowlands.

Panauti Homestay Tour

The Panauti Homestay Tour offers an intimate two-night stay with a Newari family in one of Nepal’s best-preserved medieval towns — just 32km from Kathmandu but worlds away from the capital’s bustle. Your host family welcomes you into their traditional home, cooks meals with you, shares stories about their town’s centuries-old heritage, and introduces you to the daily rhythms of Newari community life.

Between homestay time, you explore Panauti’s extraordinary heritage with a local guide: the Indreshwar Mahadev Temple, the sacred river confluence, the medieval streets, and the community projects that are preserving this town’s character for future generations.

Community Impact

Panauti’s homestay program is one of the most established in Nepal. Families who participate have been trained in hospitality and hygiene standards. All fees go directly to the host family and the community development fund.

Bandipur Homestay Tour

Bandipur is a hilltop heritage town perched between Kathmandu and Pokhara — a Newari trading post from the 18th century where the main bazaar is car-free, the traditional buildings are immaculately preserved, and the views of the Himalayan range from the ridge are stunning. The Bandipur Homestay Tour gives you two nights in this peaceful setting, staying with a local family and exploring the town and its surroundings.

The bazaar’s stone-paved streets and wooden shopfronts look much as they did two centuries ago. Below the town, Siddha Gufa is one of Nepal’s largest caves, with dramatic stalactite formations. The surrounding hills offer easy walks through farming communities. Bandipur is the perfect midpoint stop between Kathmandu and Pokhara, or a destination in its own right for travellers who value heritage and tranquility.

Community Impact

Bandipur’s community has made a deliberate choice to develop heritage tourism rather than mass tourism. Homestay fees support families who maintain their traditional houses. Your visit supports a model of tourism development that other towns in Nepal look to as an example.

Ghalegaun Homestay Trek

Ghalegaun (also spelled Ghale Gaun) is Nepal’s most celebrated community homestay village — winner of national tourism awards and a model for community-based tourism across the country. This Gurung village sits in the Lamjung hills with views of Annapurna and Machhapuchhre, and the hospitality of the families here is legendary.

The 4-day trek approaches the village through terraced hillsides and forests, arriving to a welcome that includes Gurung cultural programs — traditional dance, music, and storytelling around the fire. Meals are organic, prepared from the family’s farm garden, and the accommodation is in traditional Gurung stone houses. Everything about this experience is genuine, community-managed, and deeply rewarding.

Community Impact

Ghalegaun’s homestay program is a national model. The community manages tourism collectively, rotating guests among families so everyone benefits. Profits fund village schools, health posts, and infrastructure. This is community tourism at its most successful.

Nepali Cooking Class

The Nepali Cooking Class starts at a local market where you shop for ingredients with your instructor — fresh spices, vegetables, and the specific ingredients that make Nepali cuisine distinct from Indian food. Then you move to a home kitchen where you learn to prepare the dishes that define Nepal: dal bhat (the national meal of lentil soup, rice, vegetables, and pickles), momos (steamed dumplings), sel roti (sweet rice bread), and seasonal specialties.

Classes are hands-on — you chop, grind, fry, and steam alongside your instructor, who explains the techniques, the ingredients, and the cultural significance of each dish. At the end, you sit down to eat the meal you prepared. Recipe cards ensure you can recreate the dishes at home.

Community Impact

Cooking classes are hosted by local families who earn directly from teaching their culinary skills. Market visits support local vendors. Your class supports women and families who are turning their cooking expertise into tourism livelihoods.
