Imagine how incredible it would be if you could indulge in one of the most fascinating adventure activities during a great cultural celebration in Nepal. Fulfilling your dream of walking in the Himalayas and immersing into a rich cultural expedition can come true early this October 2018.
As the land of rich cultures and the Himalayas, Nepal, celebrates the biggest and most important festival of Hindus in early October every year, this is a great opportunity to be in Nepal as people are happy, a dry season after monsoon, rice terrace is full of yellow color and marigold and so many other flowers in their full bloom.
October is considered as the best month to go for a trekking expedition in the Himalayas in Nepal and the biggest festival falls on the same month. What else can be a more fascinating thing than to see the Himalayas in clear weather while you trek and experience the festive atmosphere of rich cultural tradition?
If you are simply fascinated by the Himalayas, trekking adventure and cultural immersion, sign up for this amazing Dashain Festival Trek to the Himalayas in Nepal and find the amazing experiences that this trip brings to your life.
If you can’t make it to Dashain festival after 15 days there is another festival called Diwali, the festival of lights where we worship crow, dog, cow, bull, and brother. The colorful Tika, flowers, lights, sweets, and songs make this festival very attractive and you can enjoy that while trekking and touring in Nepal.

After a mouth watering mountain breakfast at the tea house we start the trek of the day. Probably, the most difficult day of the trek given that the trail goes only higher in elevation. The first part of the trek is a steep upward walk for about 2 Hrs and then a gradual upward walk. The walk on the stone paved steps is a daring adventure early in the morning. The whole trail leads you through villages and forest to Ghorepani where your efforts will be rewarded with magnificent close up views of the Himalaya (given the weather is clear). We will stay the night at a Guest House at 2850 meters.

My boyfriend his dad and i trekked to Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar in November 2010 with Earthbound Expeditions. This is my second time in Nepal and my second time using Rajan and Earthbound. Nepal is an amazing place to go so Rajan's product is quite easy to sell, however it's so easy to become stuck with a bad company and a bad guide - there are 1500 or more companies in Kathmandu, not to mention all the overpriced companies organising trips from Europe and the US, not knowing anything about the guide you will be assigned. Rajan thankfully gets it all right. And at the right price (if the price seems low it's because that's how much things cost in Nepal, the service is still 5*). He's professional, friendly and always responds to your queries no matter how many times you ask the same thing. The guide he sent with us knew everything about the entire region - believe me some guides can't even point out Everest - and was very professional. We also had the best porter on the entire base camp trail. As we were in Nepal during Diwali Rajan invited us to his house for the final day of the festival - Tihar - to experience and celebrate this with his family. Additionally, my boyfriend and i volunteered in an orphanage in Kathmandu, also arranged through Rajan, which in many ways was the best part of our entire Nepal experience. I will definitely be returning to Nepal a third time and will definitely be using Earthbound again.
