Luxury trekking in Nepal is a fantastic lifetime trekking memo combination of the finest luxury accommodation, full of natural and cultural wonders and religious insights in the Nepalese Himalayas.
You might have heard the luxury city tour packages in the form of tours inside the Kathmandu, Chitwan, and Pokhara with a luxury car accommodating in the star hotels. However, a luxury trekking tour is relatively a novice term where trekkers walk in the day following the same or an alternative trekking trail but stay in the luxury lodges at night.
After summiting the dream destination, trekkers need not repeat the same route in such trekking. You can hire a helicopter and just fly back to Kathmandu/Pokhara in such packages. In terms of budget, luxury trekking packages are more expensive. Still, you will never regret it as these packages offer the best services and comfortable accommodation and food choices.
A question may arise: What is the difference between luxury trekking and regular teahouse trekking? The difference is in facilities. The bedroom with a large-sized bed, well decorated, other suite facilities, and a western-style toilet with 24-hour hot water shower will be available in this package, which is rare in the teahouses trek. In addition, you will get a twin sharing bedroom, sharing a bathroom, bucket water (for hot water, you need to pay an extra amount) for bathing, etc.
But, luxury lodges may not be unavailable in all trekking areas of Nepal. The Annapurna and Everest region trekking parts offer the finest trekking lodges accommodations. For those trekkers, who wish to experience their comfortable trekking way, these trekking packages are suitable ones.
You will be staying at star hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara. Postcard-perfect landscapes, emerald green valleys, shimmering glacial lakes, and the meadows dotted with tiny wildflowers are all framed by the arresting snow-capped peaks of Nepal can be witnessed while trekking in the Himalayan foothills.
The tour and trekking packages are designed to explore Nepal easily and comfortably and are possible throughout the year. However, March to May and September to November are considered the perfect months for trekking in Nepal.
