On your request, our guide can also manage private rooms with attached bathrooms and services like hot showers, battery charges, more varieties of food, and internet for added comfort, which may be slightly expensive compared to normal ones.
Spectacular Himalayan Mountain Views
Most foreign trekkers feel delighted upon arrival in the land of Mt. Everest (8848 m), the highest peak in the world. Although it’s also possible to reach Everest Base Camp with family, trekking to Annapurna Base Camp (4130 m) is also worthwhile. While the Everest region’s viewpoints offer views of the Everest Himalayan ranges, you are treated to similar views of mountain giants on the ABC route too.

Both adults and children learn out of bookish knowledge. The moments of meeting other international families at accommodations and interacting with them as well as local teahouse owners are unforgettable. Your kids learn to adjust to unfamiliar environments and become more forward in the future.
Pristine Nature, Wildlife, and Changing Landscapes
Kathmandu Valley has several gaming zones for children to do many activities, along with the central zoo to see distinct animals. However, glimpses of rare animals on the Annapurna trails in their natural habitat really captivate all members. Since the route falls under Annapurna Conservation Area, you can mainly see wildlife like himalayan tahr, langur monkeys, himalayan monal, vultures, and eagles. All of you will be amazed by rapidly changing landscapes.
Your family has experience from the beautiful valley, terraced farmlands, and hillsides to lush woodlands filled with rhododendrons, alpine meadows, rocky terrain, and magnificent, snow-covered peaks. Bird chirping, tree rustling, river roaring, and animals' sound changes the Himalayan trek into an adventure of nature.

An Adventure Children Can Remember
With fear of injury on uneven landmarks, keeping your kids or family in four walls of home cannot make them adventurous.
