Things to Do in Nepal Beyond Trekking
Add-ons that pair naturally with the days either side of a trek
Paragliding in Pokhara
Paragliding from Sarangkot, with Himalayan thermals and a lake landing, is among the best commercial flying sites anywhere. Tandem flights run from around 15 to 30 minutes and cost roughly USD 70–100 depending on flight length and season. We book only with operators holding current certification and equipment inspection records. Best conditions are October to April; flights are cancelled in poor weather rather than flown marginally.

Everest Mountain Flight
A one-hour scenic flight from Kathmandu runs east along the main Himalayan chain, giving a window view of Gaurishankar, Cho Oyu, Lhotse, Makalu and Everest itself. Every passenger gets a window seat and the aircraft turns so both sides see the range. Flights depart at dawn when the air is clearest, and the season runs October to April. It is the right option for travellers who want the mountains but not the altitude, and for anyone grounded by a Lukla cancellation.

Peak Climbing & Expeditions
For trekkers ready to move from walking to climbing, Nepal's NMA-permitted trekking peaks are the natural next step. We run guided ascents with full technical training on fixed ropes, crampons and ice axe, all group climbing equipment, and experienced climbing Sherpas. Most climbs pair with an Everest or Annapurna approach trek for acclimatisation. Contact us with your experience level and dates for a route recommendation and quote.
