We don’t think so! If you only want to see Kathmandu and perhaps travel as far as Pokhara for some Himalayan mountain views, then a week might just be enough. But to even begin to explore further, you’ll need more time. Nepal has many attractions to tempt visitors from its incomparable mountain landscapes, to wildlife-rich parks, and from ancient Newari cities to important sacred sites. You can also do a wide range of adventurous activities such as trekking, mountaineering, cycling and river rafting plus more gentle walking in the lower hills or on-foot cultural tours. More time is absolutely essential if you’re planning on doing any trekking at altitude in the Everest region, the Annapurna mountains or beyond. This means having plenty of time to ascend slowly and including rest days to give your body time to adjust to the thinner air. To reach the Annapurna Sanctuay you’ll need to be on trek for at least 11 days in total and to make it to Everest Base Camp you should allow two weeks from start to finish of your trek. All of our trekking holidays are carefully designed to give excellent acclimatisation to minimise the risk of altitude sickness which can be very serious.
