9 Grades for Nepal

Which activity level fits you?

The first World Expeditions travellers went on a trekking adventure in Nepal’s Himalaya mountains as early as 1975. Since then, both the region and our program have seen positive and wide-ranging developments. Today for example, you can stay in one of the 16 exclusive eco camps on treks in the Everest and Annapurna regions and you have a choice of holidays in Nepal that require nine different activity levels.

Trekking in Nepal is an addictive experience that continues to lure back many first-time travellers for another on foot journey into the mountains. Fortunately, with World Expeditions you have a choice of more than 70 trips in Nepal that span all levels of fitness. Below, you can find an example holiday for each of the nine different trip gradings that we offer in Nepal.

For the complete range of trips, extensions and add-ons in Nepal, have a look at the bottom of this page or browse the Nepal corner of our website and start planning today!
