Nepal 16-Day Tours & Itineraries

Explore 5 trips designed by local kimkim specialists to get ideas for your trip to Nepal.

16 days is a good amount of time to properly experience Nepal’s myriad options for adventure. If you have Everest in your sites, then visit Everest Base Camp, which sits at an impressive 17,600 feet/5,380 meters in altitude and where you can learn about sherpa culture while sipping tea in Namche Bazaar. For a truly memorable hike you can visit the blue/green waters of the Gokyo Lakes, which have the distinction of being the highest freshwater lake system in the world (16,400 feet/4,998 meters). You could even do a combined itinerary that covers highlights like Everest, a scenic flight over the high-altitude lakes near Pokhara, and going on a wildlife safari in Chitwan National Park.
