Trekking & activities

We can take you anywhere in Nepal.

Why book through us

The two of us spent thirty years on the Himalayan trails before opening this homestay. Our brother Prakash runs Voyage Himalaya Treks & Tours alongside us, and between the three of us, plus a team of guides, we can plan you any trek in the country.

What’s different about going through us: it’s the same family planning your homestay and planning your trek. No third party in the middle, no agency markup. Our guides speak English and French. You can walk in the door tired from your flight and walk out two weeks later with everything sorted.

Around Kirtipur

You don’t have to go on a multi-week trek to walk somewhere worth walking. Here’s what’s close.

Champadevi
A three-to-four-hour summit hike from near Kirtipur. Pine and rhododendron forests on the way up, the Champadevi temple at the top, panoramic views of the valley and the Himalayas on a clear day. Most of our guests do this in their first three days.
Taudaha Lake
Twenty minutes on foot from our front door. The only clean lake left in the Kathmandu Valley. In winter, migratory birds stop here on their way to Terai and India. Some travel from as far as Serbia.
Bagh Bhairab Temple
In the centre of Kirtipur. A sixteenth-century three-storey pagoda, listed by UNESCO as a Tentative World Heritage Site. The temple is dedicated to Bhairab, a form of Shiva; locally he’s called Ajudeu, the grandfather god.
Chilancho Stupa
A Buddhist shrine on Kirtipur’s eastern hill. In Newari the name means “the immortal god on the hill.”
Uma Maheshwor Temple
The highest point in Kirtipur, at 1,414m. On a clear day you can see Langtang, Dorje Lakpa, and Gaurishankar from the courtyard.
Dollu Murti, Pharping
A forty-metre statue of Guru Rinpoche on a hill above the monasteries of Pharping. The town is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the valley for both Hindus and Buddhists. The Asura Cave is here, where Guru Rinpoche is said to have meditated. Plan half a day.
