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.

Pokhara Peace Pagoda Day Tour

The World Peace Pagoda sits on a forested ridge above Pokhara, offering one of the most spectacular panoramas in Nepal — Phewa Lake, the city of Pokhara, and the entire Annapurna range spread before you. The Pokhara Peace Pagoda Day Tour combines a boat ride across Phewa Lake with a short forest hike to reach this Japanese-built Buddhist stupa, where the view and the peaceful atmosphere make for an unforgettable half-day experience.

The pagoda was built by the Nipponzan Myohoji Buddhist order as one of 80 Peace Pagodas worldwide, and the serene environment lives up to its mission. You can meditate at the stupa, walk the grounds, and simply absorb one of the finest views in Pokhara before descending by a different route for variety.

Pokhara Food Tour

The Pokhara Food Tour takes you away from the lakeside tourist restaurants and into the local food scene — the street vendors, family kitchens, and small eateries where Pokhara’s residents actually eat. Over 5-6 stops, you taste the regional cuisines that make Pokhara a crossroads of Nepali food culture: Gurung dishes from the hills, Thakali specialties from the Kali Gandaki valley, and Newari treats from the Kathmandu Valley settlers who brought their culinary traditions westward.

Your food guide is a local who knows where to find the best sel roti at the morning market, which family makes the finest dhido, and the bakery that produces bread using recipes brought by Tibetan refugees decades ago. The walk covers markets and food streets that most visitors never discover.

Community Impact

Every stop is a local family business. Your visit supports small food operators who represent the authentic food culture of the Pokhara region.

Nepal Homestay Experience

The Nepal Homestay Experience is our most immersive tour — seven days living with local families in 2-3 different communities, sharing meals, learning customs, and building connections that go beyond anything a hotel-based tour can offer. You sleep in family homes, cook in family kitchens, and participate in the daily rhythms of village life in Nepal.

The itinerary moves through different cultural communities — Newari towns in the Kathmandu Valley, Tamang villages in the hills, Gurung communities near Pokhara — so you experience the diversity of Nepal’s cultures through the most intimate lens possible: as a guest in someone’s home.

Community Impact

This is direct community support at its most fundamental. Every rupee you spend on accommodation, meals, and activities goes to the families who host you. Homestay tourism provides meaningful income while preserving cultural traditions that are the core of each community’s identity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the accommodation like?

Private room in a family home. Clean bedding, shared bathroom (Western-style in most locations). Simple but comfortable. The value is the human connection, not the thread count.

Do I need to speak Nepali?

No. Your community guide translates and bridges cultural gaps. Many hosts speak some English. But a few Nepali words go a long way — we teach you the basics.

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.

Sirubari Homestay Trek

Sirubari holds a special place in Nepal’s tourism history — it was the first village in the country to establish a community homestay program, back in 1997. This Gurung village in the hills of Syangja district pioneered the idea that rural families could welcome travellers into their homes and share their culture as an alternative to conventional tourism. Nearly three decades later, Sirubari remains one of the most authentic and well-managed homestay experiences in Nepal.

The village sits on a ridge with sweeping views of Machhapuchhre, Annapurna, and the Dhaulagiri range. Gurung families host you in their traditional homes, cook meals from their kitchen gardens, and organize cultural programs featuring traditional Gurung songs, dance, and storytelling. The short trek to the village passes through terraced hillsides that are beautiful in every season.

Community Impact

Sirubari’s homestay program transformed the village economy from subsistence farming to a mixed livelihood model that includes tourism. The program is entirely community-managed, with guest rotation ensuring every family benefits. Your visit supports the village that started it all.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get to Sirubari?

Drive from Pokhara (3-4 hours) to the trailhead, then trek 2-3 hours uphill to the village. The approach is gentle and suitable for moderate fitness levels.
