Luxury Tours in Nepal, Crafted by Local Experts

"I have trekked in the Himalayas multiple times but the Annapurna Circuit was on another level. The diversity of landscapes is incredible — from lush green rice paddies to barren high-altitude desert. Crossing the Thorong La Pass at 5,416 meters was challenging but the sense of achievement was overwhelming. The team at Nepal Lion Tours was professional and the porter service made the journey much more enjoyable. The natural hot springs at Tatopani after days of trekking was pure heaven. A must-do for any serious trekker."

"If you do not have the time or fitness for a multi-day trek, the Everest Helicopter Tour is an incredible alternative. We flew from Kathmandu early morning and landed at Kala Patthar for a close-up view of Everest that most trekkers spend weeks to reach. The breakfast at Everest View Hotel with the Himalayan panorama stretching before you was unforgettable. The pilot was experienced and made the flight smooth and comfortable. Nepal Lion Tours organized everything from permits to hotel pickup. A once-in-a-lifetime experience."

"The Everest Base Camp trek with Nepal Lion Tours was the highlight of my life. From the moment I landed in Lukla, every detail was taken care of. Our guide Pemba was incredibly knowledgeable about Sherpa culture and kept us motivated during the tough ascent to Kala Patthar. Watching the sunrise over Everest from the top was a moment I will never forget. The teahouses were comfortable and the food was surprisingly good at such high altitudes. I highly recommend this trek to anyone who wants to experience the magic of the Himalayas."

"We walked the Gokyo route instead of the usual Everest Base Camp trail and it was the best decision of the whole trip. Climbing Gokyo Ri before dawn and suddenly seeing Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyu lined up together is something I will talk about for years. The lakes themselves are that impossible turquoise colour that photographs never quite capture. You walk past far fewer people than on the main route, and our guide kept a genuinely relaxed pace. The tea in Gokyo village overlooking the lake is worth every step."

"Langtang was my first Himalayan trek and I could not have asked for a gentler introduction. Being only a few hours from Kathmandu yet feeling completely removed from the city, the valley has its own quiet rhythm. Our guide Dawa was patient, funny and endlessly curious about the Tamang villages we passed through. The walk up to Kyanjin Gompa and the cheese factory was a lovely surprise, and the view from Tserko Ri is the real reward. Eleven days of oak and rhododendron forest, then straight into the high peaks."

"Manaslu is the trek people tell you about once you have done the Annapurna Circuit, and they are right. For most of the route we would not see more than a handful of people a day, which makes the whole thing feel genuinely wild. The Larkya La crossing at 5,160 metres was the hardest day of my life and the descent into the Budhi Gandaki gorge afterwards was the most beautiful. Sorting out the restricted area permit was the one bit of admin involved and Nepal Lion Tours handled every part of it."
