From Chaos to Clarity

Shekhar’s Ultimate Trek & Taste Tour

Let’s be honest—your soul probably needs a vacation as much as your inbox does. So why not swap that screen time for some face time with the Himalayas? Picture this—adventure, relaxation, and world-changing views…no magic carpet required. Kicking things off with yoga and meditation upon arrival to shake off the jet lag, before exploring the colorful chaos of Kathmandu’s ancient, vibrant streets. Explore historic marvels of timeless architecture, savor a private, hands-on gourmet session with your local hosts Shekhar’s family, treating your taste buds on a gourmet journey that will have you savoring every bite and craving more, especially momos.

Next, sculpt your muscles torching calories like it’s a Himalayan art form by following Shekhar on a trek for Pokhara’s world-famous vistas with front-row seats witnessing a Himalayan sunset. Here both the views and the altitude will leave you breathless—in the best way possible, especially at sunrise and sunset. 

Our tailored, pre-planned itineraries are designed to slash your prep time—because who has time for spreadsheets on vacation? Vetted, validated, and vacation-ready. We’ll handle the language barriers, logistics, and even those tricky meal choices (so you’re not accidentally ordering the spiciest thing on the menu!)

Hosted by seasoned adventure maestro Shekhar Thapa, your Himalayan guru and Nepal’s hospitality ninja! Think of Shekhar as the secret spice in your favorite dish—the secret sauce that turns a good adventure into a Michelin-star experience. With a heart as big as the Himalayas and an eye for detail that’ll make even the most organized traveler go, “Wow, he’s got this!”, Shekhar makes every moment special. Whether you’re trekking hidden trails or haggling in bustling markets, it’s like hanging out with that friend who knows all the local secrets—except this one happens to be a walking encyclopedia of Nepal.

Day by Day

Day 1

Arrive in KTM (Kathmandu)

Welcome to Kathmandu! As soon as you land – Shekhar your charming Nepali concierge of local hospitality will be there to greet you and whisk you off to your hotel, where a little slice of relaxation awaits. After that long flight, we know you might be feeling a bit like a pretzel, so why not unwind with a relaxing yoga and meditation session when you arrive? Trust us, your body will thank you later and you’ll be so zen, you might just float into your hotel room!

Later, dive into the local vibe before we spoil you with a welcome dinner at a traditional Nepali restaurant—think momos, spice, and pure bliss. Then, off to your hotel for a good night’s rest before the following day’s adventure with Shekhar. Welcome to Nepal!

Day 2

Kathmandu

Start your day with some yoga, led by a local instructor who’s so zen, you’ll be wondering if they secretly levitate when no one’s looking. After a hearty breakfast (because you’ve earned it), dive headfirst into Kathmandu’s rich cultural heritage. Think of it as sightseeing with a side of awe – from the sacred Pashupatinath Temple to the towering Boudhanath Stupa and the jaw-dropping Patan Durbar Square. By the end of the day, you’ll be so full of history and spirituality, even your phone will feel enlightened. Then, back to the hotel to unwind, because being this cultured is hard work. 

Day 3

Kathmandu​

Kick off the day with another round of yoga, because nothing says “I’m on vacation” like trying to touch your toes at sunrise! After a breakfast fit for a champion (or at least someone who survived yoga), get ready to explore Bhaktapur Durbar Square and the iconic Swayambhunath Stupa. Delight in a local lunch that promises to linger on your palate long after. Latersoak up more history than a textbook, all while catching some pretty epic views of the Kathmandu valley. After all that, retreat to your hotel for a well-deserved rest and reflection – peaceful vibes guaranteed. 

Day 4

Pokhara & Naudada

Take your time with a leisurely morning—no rush. After a relaxed morning, catch a short flight to Pokhara and immerse yourself in Himalayan views and Nepali culture along the drive to Naudada, complete with postcard-worthy views that will make your Instagram followers jealous. Check into your hotel, then spend the rest of the hiking and exploring through the foothills, with the Himalayas as your personal backdrop. Wrap up the day with dinner and dreams of tomorrow’s adventure.

Serenity Meets Adventure-packed Vibes

Day 5

Explore Naudada

Kick off the day with a rejuvenating yoga session—perfect for shaking off any lingering stiffness from pretending to meditate yesterday! After a hearty breakfast, get ready for a guided walking tour through Naudada, where tranquility is the local specialty. You’ll stroll through the village, soaking in the peaceful vibes, and enjoy lunch at a local restaurant (because nothing says “adventure” like a full belly). The evening? Pure relaxation—whether it’s lounging around or pretending to read a book by the Himalayan hotel surroundings.

Day 6

Pokhara

Start your day with some yoga and a solid breakfast—because flexibility is key, especially for what comes next. Then, it’s back to Pokhara! Once you’ve checked into your hotel, it’s time to stretch those legs again with an afternoon of adventure. First, a hike to the Peace Pagoda, where the views are as calming as the name suggests. Exquisite Buddhist monuments designed to spark peace and bring together humanity in the ultimate luxury of global harmony. After that, swing by Davis Falls—wrap things up with a delicious dinner at the hotel, where you can finally sit down and congratulate yourself on all that exploring.

Day 7

Pokhara

Start another day with some yoga to stretch out those “I’m on vacation” muscles, followed by a breakfast that’ll fuel you for the adventure ahead. Then it’s off to explore Pokhara’s greatest hits—brace yourself for the Seti River Gorge, where the river disappears like your willpower around dessert. Next, check out the Mountain Museum, because nothing says “vacation” like learning! Your guide will swing you by Bindabasini Temple for a dose of culture (and maybe a spiritual recharge). Finally, head back to the hotel for some well-deserved rest after all that excitement—because sightseeing is hard work, folks. 

Day 8

Kathmandu & Nagarkot

After breakfast, hop on a flight back to Kathmandu (yes, another flight—because we’re fancy like that), and then it’s off to Nagarkot, where the mountain views are so stunning, you might just question your life choices… in a good way! Once you’ve arrived, the evening is yours—relax and soak in the tranquility or, if you’re feeling extra adventurous, take a stroll to a nearby tower for some jaw-dropping panoramic views that’ll have your camera begging for mercy. Then, it’s dinner and a cozy night at the hotel, where even the mountains might envy your view.

Day 9

Kathmandu

Rise and shine to a Himalayan sunrise so epic, even your Instagram will need a double-take! After soaking in the view, indulge in breakfast that’s almost as breathtaking as the scenery. Then, it’s back to Kathmandu for one last day of leisure—whether you’re hunting for souvenirs or just people-watching in the vibrant city streets, the day is yours to savor. In the evening, celebrate with a farewell dinner so delicious you might just shed a tear. Then, retreat to your hotel for one final night of pure relaxation.

Day 10

Depart

After a blissfully relaxed morning (because we know saying goodbye is hard), Shekhar will whisk you off to the airport. As you board your departure flight, you’ll be carrying more than just souvenirs—think timeless moments of Nepal’s jaw-dropping beauty, soul-nourishing first-class soul searching, and hospitality that could make even your mom jealous. Safe travels, and may your Instagram never forget these moments!
