Nepal Family Trip highlights

  • Savour stunning views and experience a magical sunrise over the Annapurna Range on this low altitude trek
  • Observe glaciers flowing from the mighty Annapurnas from Ghandruk
  • Travel to Chitwan National park in search of rhino and the Bengal tiger
  • Create wonderful memories as you trek with your family
  • Soak up the Nepali way of life

Overview

This low-altitude family trek in Nepal’s Annapurna foothills offers the ideal balance of soft adventure, cultural discovery and togetherness - all designed with safety, fun and flexibility in mind. With a maximum elevation of just 1,900m (6,233ft), it provides a relaxed pace for families to enjoy the Himalaya without concerns around altitude, following our carefully considered safety protocols every step of the way.

The trail meanders through vibrant rhododendron forests and terraced hillsides, framed by showstopping views of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli and the sacred peak of Machapuchare. Along the way, families visit traditional Gurung villages, wander local markets, and meet communities where daily life unfolds against the dramatic mountain backdrop. From crossing a suspension bridge over the Modi Khola to spotting birds in the forest canopy, every day reveals something new for curious young minds and those who walk beside them.

Our private Eco-Comfort Camps elevate this trek to something truly special. Designed exclusively for our travellers, these purpose-built, low-impact camps offer real beds, heated dining areas, and proper bathroom facilities - all in peaceful natural settings. It’s camping made easy and enjoyable for families, with added touches that bring comfort and connection after a day on the trail. Evening activities such as games with our crew, dancing and sharing stories under the stars create moments families will never forget.

The experience concludes in Chitwan National Park, where the adventure continues with jeep safaris, jungle walks and river canoeing in search of rhinos, exotic birdlife and - with luck - the elusive Bengal tiger. With expert support, engaging activities and responsible travel at its heart, this is one of the most rewarding and well-rounded family treks in Nepal.

Itinerary

Expand all | Collapse all

You will be met by a representative of World Expeditions and transferred to the Radisson hotel. Remainder of the afternoon at leisure. A pre-trek briefing will be given around 4.30-5pm where arrangements will be made for the distribution of your kit bag, sleeping bag and down/fibrefill jacket. This evening we will head out for dinner, this is a great opportunity to get acquainted with your fellow group members. Overnight: Radisson Hotel

Meals: Nil

Today you have a full day to explore Kathmandu’s bustling streets and significant landmarks. You may wish to start by exploring the city’s two most important World Heritage Listed spiritual sites: Pashupatinath, Nepal’s most sacred Hindu temple and an important cremation site; and Boudhanath, the largest Buddhist stupa in Nepal and the most sacred Tibetan Buddhist shrine outside of Tibet. Alternatively you could wander through the markets and shops of the busy Thamel precinct or explore some more of the city’s significant sites such as Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple) or the World Heritage Listed plazas of Patan, Bhaktapur or Durbar Square.

Meals: B

After breakfast we transfer to Kathmandu’s domestic terminal to take our flight to Pokara, the main gateway for trekkers into the Annapurna region. This is one of the most scenic flights in the Himalaya, as we trace the backbone of the monstrous Ganesh, Manaslu and Annapurna ranges. The flight path heads west up and over the rim of the Kathmandu Valley along the Trisuli River to Pokhara, Nepal's second largest town. Overnight: hotel

Meals: B,L,D

We drive for an hour to pass between two river valleys at the village of Khare, and commence our trek to Dhampus. The trail ascends for the first hour, following a ridge through fields of bamboo clusters to magnificent rhododendron forest. Villagers greet us with “Namaste”, the traditional Nepalese greeting, as we pass their homes and continue to the ridge top where at the crest the scale of the mountains astounds us, with Machapuchare (6993m), Hiunchuli (6441m) and Annapurna South (7219m) in our immediate viewpoint Overnight eco lodge.

Meals: B,L,D

This is an interesting day as the trail gently glides through forest, and in and out of small gullies, all the time bringing us closer to the mountains. In the rhododendron forests the lush canopy affords protection for the smaller delicate flora, such as primula and daphne. It also provides a haven for birdlife and we can hear their varied calls as we move through. The trail soon opens onto fields as we approach the village of Landruk with its excellent views of Annapurna South at the head of the valley. Overnight private eco campsite.

Meals: B,L,D

Our destination today is easily seen across the valley; the attractive Gurung village of Ghandruk. Unfortunately we must descend to the valley floor to reach it! Slowly descending through rice terraces, we cross the steel cable suspension bridge that spans the glacial river of the Modi Khola and commence our ascent. As we trek up the many staircases, we enjoy the beauty of the Himalaya at a relatively close range and observe the glaciers flowing from them and feeding the rivers below. It is a magnificent location and a photographer's delight. Our leisurely approach along these ridges with their fine mountain views ensures proper acclimatisation and the un-hurried opportunity to fully savour this magnificent scenery. Ghandruk is the centre for the Annapurna Conservation Area and after lunch we will visit the headquarters. Overnight private eco campsite.

Meals: B,L,D

After breakfast we are ready to head to our exit point at Kimchi. The trail is mostly downhill and if the weather is clear we enjoy our last views of Annapurna South, Himchuli and Machhapuchare. Once we reach Kimchi, we will commence the drive back to Pokhara where we will enjoy lunch on our arrival. The afternoon is free in Pokhara. Overnight: hotel

Meals: B,L,D

This morning we transfer to Chitwan by road. On arrival we are briefed on the planned activities during our stay. Late afternoon and early morning are the best times to sight wildlife, so other times tend to be for less energetic activities. We will have lunch at our lodge and commence our activity program. Our accommodation is at the Chitwan Adventure Lodge outside the park, generally in 2-bed huts with a private bathroom. Solar heated hot water is available in the afternoons.

Meals: B,L,D

A full day's activities are available including jungle walks, canoe rides, bird-watching and jeep safari, as well as lectures on other fauna. Our concession area is the territory of many species of wildlife including 3 tigers, 5 leopards, 7 rhino, and many deer, boar, bear, peacocks, an extraordinary number of bird species and is occasionally visited by wild elephants.

Meals: B,L,D

We complete our last activity, and we make the journey out of the jungle and back to the Kathmandu by vehicle, arriving late afternoon.

Meals: B

There are a million things to see in Kathmandu and we recommend you spend this day wandering the town and exploring the valley on bicycle or by taxi. Our staff can arrange a guide and/or transport should you wish, or you can head off armed with a map and let the day unfold.

Meals: B

After breakfast the trip will conclude unless further arrangements have been made. Transfer to the airport for your homeward journey.

BK was a fantastic leader. She was especially kind, encouraging and attentive to my 10 year old daughter, thinking about her needs, as well as to my 72 year old mother-in-law. Her crew couldn’t do more. Ram cooked delicious meals, with a wide variety of foods, and his assistants and porters were helpful and kind eg bringing juice back to us while trekking.

Our trip went very well thanks especially to our guide BK who was very kind and helpful during her time with us. Also the local guides were very good and our crew led by Ram. Excellent food on the trip the campsites were in spectacular positions and the other night stops were good. We only had one complaint with a driver who wouldn't come and meet us when we were finishing the trek and we were walking on a dangerous road for 5km. We did suggest that in future treks if the only way down was the road then the trek should stop at the lunch point

The Annapurna Family Adventure in comfort to Nepal opened up the incredible landscapes, nature and the kindest people to us. Our guide and crew couldn’t do more to help us. Feel very lucky to have returned to Nepal this second time.

We were a family group of four on the Annapurna Family Trip in Comfort tour. Our female guide, Yangi Sherpa was absolutely marvellous. She helped made our trip very special. We will always have fond memories of the trip and Yangi.

The Nepal Family Adventure was a fabulous trip. There were seven children in our group, ranging from 8 to 14 years old, and they all managed the trip easily. The itinerary was varied enough to keep them interested. The Leaders were fantastic, and quietly handled all aspects of the trip logistics. They looked out for all group members and helped them when they needed it. The food was superb. It was varied, with lots of fresh vegetables and local Nepalese foods, and we were never hungry. The boiled water system used by World Expeditions meant that we always had plenty of safe drinking water. Overall, we had a great trip, and we would definitely travel with World Expeditions again.

We took our three kids aged 10, 13, and 15 on the Nepal Family Adventure. We had an absolutely wonderful time. The trek was very manageable in grade for the kids, the tour leader was absolutely first rate and bonded amazingly with the kids very quickly. The scenery was absolutely spectacular, the local people always friendly, and every detail was well planned.

Nepal Family Adventure was an amazing trip. Combining city life, hiking as well as the Chitwan National Park, all family members had something to enjoy. The hikes were not too long and paths very easily approachable with children also. The staff on our trip was amazing and our hopes and wishes were taken in concern in all stages of the trip.

A fantastic trip. Great crew, friendly, organised and informed. I dragged my family along to help celebrate my 50th birthday in the Nepalese Mountains and as first time trekkers, our guides set a realistic pace - helping us along the way and knowing when we needed to rest. Our camp cook even managed to find the ingredients to bake a cake to celebrate my birthday.

Breathtaking views as we trek down towards Thame | Monika Molenda
Restoring Learning in Thame Project
 
Restoring access to digital education through the installation of a computer lab and smart classroom technology, helping rebuild learning opportunities for students affected by climate-related disasters.
 
In Nepal's Solukhumbu region, the remote mountain village of Thame is recovering from a devastating Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) that destroyed homes, infrastructure, and critical community services — including the local school and its computer lab. With students displaced and relocated to temporary learning facilities, access to quality education has been severely disrupted, particularly in digital learning.
 
The Rebuilding Digital Education in Thame project aims to address this gap by equipping the newly relocated Thame Basic School with a computer lab, smart boards, and essential digital infrastructure. This will enable students and teachers to access modern, technology-enabled education in one of the most remote regions in the world.
 
With support from the World Expeditions Foundation, this project will fund the installation of computers, smart boards, printers, and classroom infrastructure to support both students and teachers. The outcome? Improved digital literacy, more engaging and interactive teaching, and equitable access to education for a community rebuilding after disaster.
 
The project is led by Himalayan Trust Nepal, a long-standing organisation working closely with local communities, schools, and government partners to deliver sustainable education and development outcomes across the Khumbu region.

Our Commitment to Porters in Nepal
 
Porters are central to every trek we run in Nepal, and we are committed to their safety, wellbeing, and fair treatment.
 
We ensure fair pay, enforce strict load limits (max 30kg), and provide proper clothing, equipment, meals, and safe accommodation.
 
Porters have equal access to medical care, insurance, and emergency support as our travellers.
 
You can trek knowing your journey supports responsible and ethical practices.

Cleaning Up Wilderness Trails
 
Our 10 Pieces initiative is a simple, voluntary way to give back while you trek.
 
Travellers are encouraged to collect 10 pieces of litter each day along the trail, helping protect these fragile environments.
 
You'll find more details in your client portal once you book, and your tour leader will introduce the initiative at your first group meeting in Kathmandu.

Extra trip info

Meals are fully included on our Nepal treks so you stay properly fuelled for the journey. Trekking, particularly at altitude, burns a huge number of calories each day, and we believe good food is essential to maintaining energy and enjoyment on the trail.

On a typical two-week tea-house trek, buying meals along the way can cost well over US$800 per person. Some companies appear cheaper by not including meals. By including all meals, you actually save both money and time while also knowing every day’s food is taken care of by your own trek cook.

Your groups trekking cook and kitchen crew will prepare fresh, hearty meals with careful attention to hygiene and nutrition, and there is always plenty available - seconds are always welcome. At our Eco-Comfort Camps, many meals also feature vegetables grown in the camp gardens, bringing fresh produce to some of the most remote trekking routes in the Himalaya.

We can cater for most dietary requirements - talk to our team to learn more.

Use of essential equipment is included in your trip cost | Tim Charody

If you don’t trek regularly, investing in specialised gear for a single adventure can be expensive. Quality equipment designed for high altitude and cold conditions is essential, yet we see many trekkers in Nepal with gear that might look suitable, but will not be effective in many Himalayan conditions.

To save you hassle, and money, we provide the use of a World Expeditions Trek Pack including a quality sleeping bag, down or fibre-fill jacket and a cosy fleece sleeping bag liner. At our Eco-Comfort Camps we even supply an extra blanket. You receive your Trek Pack at the start of your trip, use it throughout your trek, and can pack it into your World Expeditions souvenir kit bag when travelling on the trail.

Just as importantly, it supports your safety and comfort. Staying warm at night and getting proper rest (along with good food) are critical to maintaining energy and enjoying your trek in the Himalaya.

Flight to Lukla | Lachlan Gardiner

Flights between Kathmandu and Pokhara are included on many Annapurna region adventures and are arranged by our team so your group travels together.

During the busy trekking seasons flights can book out quickly, so early booking helps ensure we can secure the services needed for your trek.

This short flight connects Nepal’s two main aviation hubs using larger aircraft with frequent daily departures, making it more reliable than many mountain airstrips.

The flight itself is a highlight, with spectacular views across the Annapurna, Manaslu, Ganesh and Langtang ranges on clear days.

By booking early, we can organise the flights to Pokhara in advance, which simplifies trek logistics so you can focus on preparing for the trek ahead.
