Most trips to Nepal start in Kathmandu and loop through Pokhara, Chitwan and Lumbini. The easiest way to plan it is from one base: stay with us, leave your extra luggage, and let us arrange the rest — transport, guides and accommodation included.

Kathmandu: your base with us

Start and finish at Sacred Trails in Budhanilkantha. We meet you at the airport, help with SIM cards and money, and store your luggage while you travel. Plan 2–4 nights to see the valley, plus a night before and after each trip.

Or go trekking

Our Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Base Camp and Poon Hill treks also start and finish at the homestay, with your Kathmandu nights before and after the trail included.
