Be prepared for some serious physical activity. This may be treks of up to 6 hours per day in steep terrain, or extended bike rides of more than one day. The fitter you are, the more you will enjoy your holiday.
Expect to rough it every now and again, whether it's very simple group-share accommodation at a homestay, a packed public bus where you are forced to stand, the odd cold shower or an encounter with a squat toilet.

This trip travels to a very conservative area. We encourage you to experience the destination and culture will the following in mind:
Accommodation - We do not foresee any problems, however there may be occasions when a same sex couple may be asked to sleep in single beds rather than sharing a double. We appreciate your cooperation.
Public Display of affection - These are frowned upon in this region among all travellers, not just those on an OUT Adventure. This includes holding hands in public.
Gay Activities - This trip does not have any specific gay hosted events, meals or day tours due to the cultural sensitivity of this region. We will do our best to provide a safe, comfortable environment for you and your fellow travellers to experience this culture.

With its monkey temples, living goddesses and markets of every kind, Kathmandu is a legendary city. Climb to Swayambhunath for fantastic views.
Discover the Nepali countryside. Hike the Kathmandu Valley, through subtropical forests and across a softly undulating landscape to Nagarkot's spectacular lookout point. Descend through terraced farmlands to quaint Bhaktapur.
See Nepal from water-level along the Trisuli River, camping overnight on a river beach.
The hilltop village of Bandipur has been largely untouched by tourism and is an excellent opportunity to experience Newari village life.
Once part of the trade route between India and Tibet, Pokhara lies in the shadow of the Annapurnas. Prepare for the trek ahead with a morning walk to Sarangkot or a bike ride through the rural landscape.
Follow roads less-travelled on a trek through the remote Siklis area. Walk along the Mardi Khola River through the land of the friendly Gurung people before climbing through terraced fields and alpine forests to Tara Top - the views of the ranges are spectacular. Enjoy a shady descent through rhododendron forests filled with orchids, lichen and moss on the return to Pokhara Valley. There is also the option of taking a local bus to Bhaktapur.
Unwind at a cafe, take a boat ride across the lake or pick up some Nepali or Tibetan trinkets in the Old Bazaar.
An incredible OUT adventure comes to an end back in Nepal's exciting capital.

Trip Map
Most of our trips require a compulsory local payment, which is part of the contract with you (the customer) and OUT Adventures. This amount is the final payment for your trip and is to be paid in the specified currency, in cash to your leader upon arrival. The local payment is non-refundable, and is considered part of the total trip payment.
It is expensive to transfer funds to many countries - so by making a Local Payment you help us keep your costs low.
The Local Payment is used for paying for local services such as hotels and transport.
No, as the money is used to pay for local services these cannot be paid elsewhere.
