Our 10 day Nepal Family Tour is designed for families who want to experience Nepal’s cultural heritage, Himalayan scenery, traditional villages, and wildlife. The itinerary begins in Kathmandu and continues to Pokhara, the Annapurna foothills, and Chitwan before returning to Kathmandu.
Nepal offers a wide variety of experiences for families, from historic temples and traditional villages to mountain landscapes and national parks. This itinerary combines cultural sightseeing with outdoor activities, allowing families to discover different parts of the country in one trip.
During the Kathmandu sightseeing tour, your family will visit important cultural and religious landmarks, including Buddhist stupas, Hindu temples, and historic sites in the Kathmandu Valley. These visits provide an opportunity to learn about Nepal’s history, architecture, and religious traditions.
Our Nepal Family Tour combines cultural sightseeing, a three day trek in the Annapurna foothills, and wildlife activities in Chitwan. The itinerary is suitable for active families who enjoy walking and exploring different destinations. However, some trekking days involve several hours of walking, uphill climbs, and uneven trails. Families with younger children or older members can request a customized itinerary with shorter walking days.
Spring is a popular time to visit Pokhara because of its generally pleasant weather and opportunities to enjoy Himalayan views. On clear days, families can admire the Annapurna range and Machhapuchhre while exploring the lakeside area and surrounding attractions.
Pokhara offers family activities such as boating on Phewa Lake and visiting the International Mountain Museum. These activities can be arranged according to your schedule and package inclusions. During the Annapurna foothills trek, you will pass traditional villages, terraced farmland, and forested trails while learning about local culture and daily life.
Nepal Family Tour with Cultural Sightseeing and Annapurna Trekking
Nepal is popularly known as the Himalayan Kingdom. A wide belt of mountains runs across the country’s eastern edge to the farthest west. Eight of the ten highest peaks in the world are located here, and hundreds of others exist. Our menu offers a variety of these mountains at all kinds of altitudes. Our family tour in Nepal package will take you into the famous Annapurna easy trek.
This trip lets you walk through mountain viewpoints, rice fields, and lovely terraces with local villages. The remarkable thing about a Family tour in Nepal is walking in the foothills beside the Himalayas. The hilly region subsists alongside the mountains so that you can see the peaks before you.
The quiet moment and scenery will soothe your heart and help you zone out. You will also learn about the cultures and lifestyles of the people in the region. These locals are very good at being neighborly and friendly to all visitors. They will provide you with an amicable approach and the best hospitality.
Short trekking to Annapurna with a Family tour in Nepal
The short easy trek of this family tour in Nepal starts from Birethanti and ends at Phedi. On our first night, we will reach Ghandruk, the beautiful village of Gurung and Magar. You will get the chance to see breathtaking views of the mountains. You can view Annapurna South, Gangapurna, Annapurna III, Machhapuchhare, and Hiunchuli.
After visiting Ghandruk, the trekking route continues toward Landruk and Pothana. On the final trekking day, we walk through Dhampus and descend to Phedi before returning to Pokhara by vehicle.
A family tour in Nepal takes you to the National Park in the last part of the tour. The Chitwan National Park is popular for watching the various animals and birds. It is famous for its diverse natural environment. During your stay in Chitwan, you can enjoy guided wildlife and nature activities, including birdwatching and other experiences included in your confirmed program. Activities are arranged according to local regulations, weather conditions, and the suitability of each activity for your family.
The 2-day Jungle safari tour package concludes superbly with a cultural exploration program from the local Tharu Community. The events can give the family fun and interactive insight into life in Chitwan. After your best time in Chitwan, we will get back to Kathmandu.

Popular places we visit during a Family tour in Nepal
Boudhanath Stupa
Boudhanath Stupa is one of Nepal’s most important Buddhist pilgrimage sites and forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage property of Kathmandu Valley. Visitors can observe pilgrims walking clockwise around the stupa, spinning prayer wheels, and offering prayers. The surrounding area is also known for its monasteries and Tibetan Buddhist cultural traditions.
It is the best site to visit with your family and pray together for prosperity and peace. You can also see the giant Mandala of the Buddhist cosmos. On the day of the Lhosar festival, known as the Tibetan New Year, Boudhanath holds a grand celebration.
2. Swyambhunath Temple
Swayambhunath Stupa, commonly known as the Monkey Temple, is an important religious and cultural landmark overlooking Kathmandu Valley. The complex includes Buddhist shrines, prayer wheels, monasteries, and a shrine dedicated to Harati, a deity associated with the protection of children. Families can enjoy panoramic views of Kathmandu while learning about the site’s Buddhist and Hindu traditions. Visitors should take care on the steep steps and avoid feeding or approaching the resident monkeys.
3. Thamel
Thamel is the key destination for many tourists who come to visit Nepal. After arriving at the international airport, most take a taxi or other means to get to Thamel. It is famous for the markets too. You can visit Thamel with your family to buy ancient and traditional goods. The nighttime will be the best time to roam around Thamel as many bars and clubs are here.
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.

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.

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 :)

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.
We emailed Puru from Above The Himalaya Trekking. We arranged a customized ten-day family tour of different places in Nepal for our family. Puru was quick and responsive in planning this tour. He considered all our requests.
He picked the perfect hotel and the perfect activities and destinations. Our guide, Kumod, and driver were experienced and provided excellent service. Nepal is a beautiful country. Everyone at Above The Himalaya Trekking was kind and helpful. Thank you so much for such a memorable family trip!

Family Annapurna trek
I was traveling with a family of 5 people: an 8- and 11-year-old child, my wife, and my mom, who is 58 years old. We did the small trek in Annapurna up to Ghandruk Village Loop. It was a wonderful experience, especially with the help of our guide and porters. Due to the rain and not very good weather, the trail was quite slippery.
Puru, the owner, provided us with the best guide and porters. They were very familiar with children and took care of every small thing. We traveled by bus between Kathmandu and Pokhara. Taking a flight or private vehicle when traveling with children is better.
Thank you, Above the Himalaya and team, for making our trip memorable.

Excellent family trip
I traveled during the Christmas break with two kids, aged 12 and 14, and my wife. Fantastic experience, Annapurna Trek, Pokhara, Kathmandu excursions, Chitwan, Everest flights – the works! Puru organized daily trips, internal flights, guides, and accommodation.
Because of his extensive experience and local knowledge (he used to be a Guide), the places we visited were incredible and well-researched. Purna was our leading guide for the Annapurna trek. He was brilliant with the kids, and you felt very safe. He made the trip fun and was a straightforward company.
There are lots of trekking tours in Kathmandu. It can be overwhelming to make a choice. I recommend Above the Himalayas. They are very experienced and very trustworthy. They tuned into the local scene. They remain committed to the long-term sustainable development of the Nepal tourist industry.

Family Holiday
Just came back after a week’s holiday in Nepal with my parents. We were worried about the weather and road conditions as this is the rainy season there. From the beginning, Puru, the company owner, gave us all the information about the tour and the excellent place to go.
We didn’t have any problem at all from arrival to departure. Most of the trip was rainy, but the best guide we had, the driver, and the hotel we chose made us feel happy. Due to rain, we only saw a little; we have covered Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Nagarkot and will return in March 2018.
Thank you, Above the Himalaya and team, for making our holiday stress-free and enjoyable.

Best family tour in Nepal
We traveled in the low season for our Nepal family tour. Which I love because I prefer fewer crowds. The weather was quite good at times. All the hotels had a/c and wifi. The food was terrific in Nepal. My favorite food was momo! It would help if you tried it.
I saw the Annapurna range in beautiful Pokhara. A climb of the peace pagoda is a must. Perfect views. Puru is a lovely host. Very honest and generous. He took us to a beautiful traditional restaurant so we could taste local food. It was the cherry on the cake of our experience!
A trip I will never forget!
