Is it difficult to trek on the accessible trail?

Nepal Accessible Trekking is the most leisurely trek in Nepal. It depends on your physical ability and how much you can take. The trail for this trek is flat until you reach Pokhara, from where the path becomes sloppy. There is a blacktop road in the central area.

In some places, the streets are damaged, making walking hard. The route to the main viewpoint consists of pebbles, rock, and an uneven trail. Remember, rail construction still needs to be completed; there is a paved track up to 0.2km.

Walking the Nepal-accessible trekking trail to get the view might be rigid, but you can see the mountains from the hotel and resort. The path has many pebbles and big stones, so people using a wheelchair will require another person for help. Signboards on the route that show the road’s steepness might be helpful.

You can find hotels that are convenient for you. The hotel’s grounds will provide the closest full mountain range view. You can also rely on hand railing for elderly people. The accessible trail is the easiest for people with some physical modality and elderly people.

Food and drinks during the Nepal-accessible trekking & tour

Himalayan Deurali Hotel is quite famous for the trail to Nepal Accessible Trekking. There, you can find typical Nepal food. Locals believe that Nepal food Dal, Bhat, and Tarkari give energy and keep your body warm during the trek. Besides, there is only a little variety in food besides the regular menu.

Due to the increasing number of vegan trekkers, the hotels also provide vegan food options. In your Nepal Accessible Trekking, you will get rice, boiled lentils, and pickles. You also get vegetable curries, chapati, oat porridge, and fried or mashed potatoes. Also, if you want, you can try Sherpa food.

Furthermore, the local people suggest trekkers avoid meat. Eating more Carbohydrates and water for hydration helps. Garlic soup, Beetroot, and other nitrate-rich foods are helpful during this trek.

Accommodation during Nepal-accessible trekking

You will find many hotels on the Nepal-accessible trekking trail. The hotels for accommodation are comfortable for differently-abled people. The famous Himalayan derail hotels on the route provide complete facilities for people with any particular modality.

The hotel’s rooms are cottages that are separate from each other. The hotel rooms will give you the perfect views of the mountain ranges. The teahouse also provides an excellent place for accommodation.

Most Asked Questions by Travellers

Nepal-accessible trekking might be the only experience that does not require any fitness level. This trek is for people with mobility problems, so fitness is optional. Furthermore, it is the easiest; as long as you are healthy, you will not have any issues during the tour. In addition, the trail is almost flat and easy to walk.

The accessible trek’s viewpoint is at an altitude of 1,568 meters from sea level. However, the trail to this viewpoint could be more organized and rocky. Furthermore, the highest sleeping point during this trek is at the elevation of a 1,538-meter resort.

The resort has a spectacular view of the mountains and is very close to Pokhara city. The total distance for an accessible trekking trail is 1.78 km. People have been traveling on accessible trekking trails for the last six years, and this trek is becoming more famous nowadays.

The best time to visit accessible trekking is from mid-October to December. This season is the peak time for trekking in the Himalayas. The winter brings another level of beauty to Nepal. For instance, February to April is another best time for accessible trekking in Nepal.

The entire trekking trail will be full of blooming flowers. May and June are also great times for accessible trekking. During this time, the weather becomes lovely, with a meager chance of precipitation. The skies also remain transparent for seeing the Himalayas. Despite this, you can trek from June to September to avoid crowds.

The accessible trekking trail is free now, i.e., you do not need any trekking permit for this trek. You can take the package deal. Package deals are the best when it comes to accessible trekking. Travelers can also do solo traveling. But we suggest you travel with a trekking company as it will be much easier. This trek is short and mostly flat, so the cost is lower.

Usually, the price of a day ranges from 50 to 80 USD, including the drive and meal. If you wish to extend your trek, you must pay according to this. If you want to reduce the cost, you can split the transportation cost with someone else. The resort is costlier than hotels so you can stay in a hotel.

The hiring guide is entirely up to the trekkers. However, if you are traveling to Nepal for the first time, you might need some help. You can find plenty of guides, but picking one from trekking companies is safer. A guide can charge up to 25 to three USD a day.

They can tell you more about the trek and help you with any problems. A guide can also mediate if you want to communicate with the locals. An experienced guide will also have essential medication in case of emergency. Furthermore, if you hire a porter, you can easily hire them from Pokhara.

The trail to this trek goes through a forest area. Therefore, if you are lucky enough, you might see deer and snow leopards on the way. Moreover, many species of birds and small mammals are on the way. Thus, there is no such risk as wildlife on the trail.

 Verified Thank you for the best tour we have ever had! I planned to stay at the Everest View Hotel this time and travel there because I wanted to see Everest, the highest mountain in the world, slowly, but despite the short schedule due to my children's school, all I got was a response that it was difficult to contact several tour companies. The Himaraya Trekking, Above, has worked out a smooth and safe schedule and had the best experience for me and my family. I will never forget the view of Mount Everest. Thank you very much.

 Verified Another Amazing Trip with Above the Himalaya This is my 3rd trip with Above the Himalaya and Puru. Each trip with Puru has exceeded expectation with the quality of the guides, porters and attention to detail. We were a team of 5 trekker and our ages were all above 67 years of age with the oldest being 73. We are all experienced hikers and trekker and our plan was to trek up the Khumbu Valley to the Cho La pass to Gokyo to the Renjo La pass to return to Lukla. However, the weather altered our plans as Cyclone Montha blanketed the country in rain at lower elevations and significant snowfall at the upper elevations. Due to the weather, no one was trekking and everyone was staying put in their current location during the storm. All the passes were closed due to the deep snow. We were in Namche when the storm was blanketing the country.This is where Above the Himalaya really shines is in the ability to adapt to the changing conditions and our safety. In conversation with our lead guide, we decided to alter our route to trek through the Gokyo valley to reach Gokyo and then do the Renjo La pass. Sitaram our lead guide and Dhurba our assistant guide was both attentive to the changing conditions and always kept a keen eye for how we were doing and feeling on the trek. The pacing was excellent as none of us had any hint of altitude sickness as we reached a maximum elevation of 5,365m.Having trekked and hiked all over the world with different tour companies, Puru’s company is simply the best. The communications, focus on safety, the guides and staff, the accommodations, and the food are all amazing. All you have to do is focus on the beauty of the mountains, enjoy the joyfulness of the Nepali people and have fun exploring the trails. I am planning my next trip with Puru for 2027 as there is no other trekking company to match Puru’s level of service.

 Verified Take a small step into the Himalayas I went with Above The Himalaya Trekking’s Everest View Hike in November 2025 and can only recommend with my whole heart!I had never visited Nepal or the Himalayas before and had a life long dream of seeing Mt Everest. I had though, hiked a lot in various parts of the world, but never above 2000 m, so I went with the five day Everest View Trek to take a small step and see how I would handle the altitude. From first enquiry about dates and various questions, to my arrival back from the trip, Puru has been an invaluable help, always standby on mail and WhatsApp, pulling strings and making things happen.Also big shout out to the amazing guide I was teamed with, Kamal, who did everything he could to answer all my curious questions about vegetation, animal life, Nepalese culture and everything in-between :) Kamal was the perfect gentleman, offering little treats and reminding me to take breaks, and all in all I felt very safe and in good hands all the time. He also had good banter and jokes, which lifted the spirit of even the hardest climb.It was cold most nights and mornings and even though the tea houses provided heavy blankets (and I could borrow extra) I was glad I had the sleeping bag with me, which I rented through Puru. But I could definitely have survived without and saved the space in my pack.In total, I’m very pleased I’ve got to experience this lovely country with Above the Himalaya Trekking and if I ever come back for the big leap into the mountains, I’ll chose Kamal and Puru all over again :)

 Verified Nepal trek-Gokyo Second trek with Above the Himalaya, this time to Gokyo and over Renjo La. Our lead and assistant guides (Sitaram and Dhurba) were excellent. Due to several days of rain at lower elevations and snow higher we needed to change our plans while in the midst of our trek. Above the Himalaya accomplished this smoothly and flawlessly, which ultimately resulted in a better experience. We’ll be back!

 Verified Great Experience and Friendly people. We had a great time with Above the Himalayas tour company in Oct. Ajay, the tour guide in Kathmandu is very friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to a lot of places that we can experience local authentic daily life. Puru, the owner, arranged and organized our trip in such way that we really feel comfortable and enjoyable. We are specially impressed by his quick action and management skills. Our flight to Pokhara got cancelled due to bed weather. Within minutes, Puru was able to arrange a car and a driver to drive us to Pokhara! It saved out trip.

 Verified Glorious trekking experience - ABC We had the most wonderful experience doing the Annapurna Base Camp trek with our fabulous guide, Tanka, and porter, Ravi. The trek was glorious, despite some rainy days, and although we weren't sure we would get to see the peaks at ABC, the weather cleared just in time and we had an amazing sunrise there. What made the whole trip so special, though, were Tanka and Ravi, who remained cheerful at all times and went out of their way to make everything as good as it could be. This included setting a pace with regular breaks which made the walking completely manageable, modifying the itinerary so we could visit additional villages, getting up in the middle of the night to see if the sky would be clear for sunrise, and bringing a sense of ease and humour to all our interactions. We just loved the whole thing and are keen to return to Nepal for another trek. It was magical!

 Verified Above the Himalayas goes above and beyond expectations! From start to finish everything was perfect! Puru, the managing director, was always quick with his responses to my questions when I first contacted him about planning our trek, and he continued to check to see that everything was going well throughout.Our guide Tanka and porter Ravi were fantastic! Their friendly demeanor kept our experience lively and interesting the entire time and made sure that we were well taken care of. Even small details like Ravi coming in and double checking our rooms to see that we had left nothing behind before leaving each morning, and seeing that meals were prepared the way we liked them weren't overlooked. Tanka was also quite knowledgeable about the mountains, the people, and just about everything "Nepal". He enthusiastically shared stories about his family and Nepalese life in a general way.Although there was a clear itinerary each day, and for the whole trek, Tanka allowed for flexibility in terms of time and where to stay. He was even willing and able to make changes to same-day accommodation based on how far we anticipated hiking that morning. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our hike and I would definitely recommend Above the Himalayas for anyone considering a trek.

 Verified Amazing tour For me and my son, Pru thought of a four-day trekking tour.His interaction was very smooth.On the first day, I went with my son to Gandrouk, and on the second day, he went to a higher place (mulde view point, Poon hill) with his guide Ashok. Ashok was very kind and took me to various local places. The food was also very good.My guide, Tangka, was very kind and helped me a lot.I recommend this travel agency because it's great.

 Verified Everest Base Camp Trek My friends and I just completed the EBC trek. From the time I met Puru at the Canada Place trade show in Vancouver BC, Canada I felt comfortable going to Nepal. His communications via WhatsApp were seamless answering all our questions. Everything went exactly according to plan. Our guide Suresh was amazing. He took very good care of us the whole time. From guiding us to making sure we had everything we needed to be happy. The food the whole way up and back was amazing! 5 ⭐️. Our 2 porters were great as well. I have a whole new respect and appreciation for what they do. They are the true hero’s to what we can do as a team. We chose the basic trek the lodging was to be expected. If I was to do again I would choose the luxury trek. The hotels in Kathmandu at the Hotel Aloft and the Hotel Lo Mustang were top notch as well as the buffets. Highly recommend this local company!

 Verified Great tour, would recommend! My friend and I completed the 10 day Annapurna circuit with Above Trekking Himalaya. Buddha our porter was a little mountain goat, pocket rocket. When I got altitude sickness he carried my bag, as well as mine and my friend’s big pack. He was friendly and loved to played cards with us, always with a cheeky smile on his face. Sitaram our guide was very knowledgeable of the area and quite serious. He was always available if we had any questions and went above and beyond to try get us the best/quietest rooms in the tea houses. Puru was fabulous working behind the scenes to ensure our trip was as smooth as possible. He was very quick to respond to any messages. It was a great experience to see Nepal with some locals and I certainly appreciated their support when I succumbed to altitude sickness. They stayed close to us the whole time and checked in frequently making us feeling safe and supported the entire time.
