Tour Description

Embark on a unique cultural and spiritual journey to Pharping, near Kathmandu, where the warmth of a homestay experience blends seamlessly with the beauty of ancient temples, sacred caves, and breathtaking hikes. Staying with a local family is one of the true highlights of this trip—you won’t just be a visitor but part of the household, enjoying organic home-cooked meals made from fresh produce grown in the family’s own garden. Expect a truly immersive experience where hospitality, flexibility, and authentic rural life make your stay unforgettable.

We have several experienced guides for this trek, but for those seeking a truly authentic experience, we offer the option to trek with a local pensioner guide who was born and raised on the very hills of Pharping. His deep connection to the land, knowledge of its history, and personal stories bring an unmatched richness to the journey. While he speaks little English, he understands it well, making for a genuine and immersive cultural exchange.
