The is fantastic small walking trip, if you are short on time or you do not want to spend all your time trekking, this trek is one of the best trekking trails in the Kathmandu Valley. You do not have to travel far from the city to gain a rich insight into the lives, history, culture and religion of the valleys inhabitants. The trek takes you Shivapuri National Park through forests and villages where old customs and culture are still much in evidence. Shivapuri hill (2792m) is the highest point of the trek. From the top of Shivapuri the whole of the Himalayas opens up in fron of you. The great snow capped peaks of Manaslu, Boudha Himal, Ganesh Himal range, Langtang Range, Dorjeelakpa, Shisapangma and Gaurishankar are but a few of the 60 peaks on show. We also visit Nagarkot a (a hill station in a beautiful setting) and end our Journey there is Dhulikhel a well kept Newari small town which again provides some fantastic views of the great Himalayas. An ideal way to refresh yourself from the city.

Mera peak trekking
I joined the 17-days mera peak trekking through Nepal Social Treks. All the plans and schedules are good and strong, including the acclimatisation/rest day or before&after the trekking! My guide Pasang Jangbu Sherpa and my porter Samuel are very supportive from all aspects through the whole trek from day to night. I have experienced a bit of altitude sickness in the trip but my guide got the experience to handle my body condition which makes me more confident in the whole trip. This is a fantastic experience and I will definitely choose this company again for my next nepal trip! Thanks for everything!
Upper Mustang and Tiji Festival amazing experience in Tibetan culture
I had an amazing experience in Upper Mustang with Nepal Social Trek, they are profissional with large experience in many treks around Nepal. I been for about 2 weeks with their guide ( Santabir ) and one of their porters ( Nishan ) who were also extremely professional, knowledgeable and warm hearted, we went to experience the Tiji Festival in Lo Manthang and it was incredible an unique experience worth every step of the trekking in the Nepali Mustang desert with amazing landscapes and interesting villages. Most important I was safe and taken care of everything by Nepal Social Treks and their guide and porter, if I have to recommend an agency for you do book me your treks in Nepal i highly recommend Nepal Social Treks. Thanks for everything guys you will be with me in my memories and i learned a lot with you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Highly recommend Nepal social treks!
We did the Annapurna circuit trek with Bishnu as our guide and Nabin and Suman as our porters. It was an incredible experience, amazing views and rewarding trekking getting to experience the nepalese culture along with way. Bishnu was very knowledgeable about the mountains, preventing altitude sickness, and was always there to help us with our crampons, poles, or anything else we needed. We were very well fed/ fuelled and he kept us laughing along the way with his funny sayings. We were always in accommodation with amazing views too. Nabin and Suman our porters, hard to summarise how incredibly hard they both work all while always having a smile on their face. We could not have done the Trek without them and are forever grateful for how hard they work. Definitely recommend going with nepal social treks it was an incredible experience.
Hey, this was awesome! The Agency made all well, and especially, Ngima Sherpa is the best guide ever! He made my experience on everest view trek special and wonderful. His heartwarming, calm and respectful behaviour let me feel welcome and my needs during trek seen. He knows a lot of trekking and the insides there in the mountains, showed me all possible in that 7 days and has my full 5-star review. Always again!
Amazing experience! We had a very loving and caring guide Narayan. Also not possible without our porters 💜💜
This trip was absolutely unreal. Our guide Narayan was extremely caring, informative and considerate through the whole trip. Our porters were also extremely generous and took their time to walk with us for a lot of the walk. I could not fault this trip and team, highly recommend.
