Best Short Treks in Nepal - Trekking Itineraries Ranging from 3 to 10 Days

Nepal offers a wide variety of trekking trails. For travelers who are short on time, here are some of the best short treks Nepal has to offer ranging from 3 to 10 days. Each of these treks can be extended; the number of days listed here represents the minimum number of days you need to complete these trails.

Namche Bazaar, the largest village in the Solu Khumbu
Best Short Treks in the Everest Region

With snow-capped peaks and fabled Sherpa culture, the Everest region is famous for some of the best trekking in Nepal. If you don’t have the minimum 12 days it takes to do the Everest Base Camp trek, however, here are a few great shorter treks to choose from.

Beautiful Gokyo lake and village

Gokyo Lakes Trek - 16 Days

The sparkling, pristine blue and green waters of the Gokyo Lakes are one of Nepal’s most memorable sights. They comprise the highest freshwater lake system in the world, at around 5,000 meters. The Gokyo Lakes trek is ideal for people who want to trek in the Everest region, but who want more variety of views and fewer nights spent at very high altitude.

Temple Tree Resort & Spa
Pokhara

Temple tree Resort in Pokhara was incredible. The staff were welcoming, professional and always helpful. The well kept grounds were beautiful with blooming flowers, lovely pool/hot tub, outdoor restaurant seating. Our room was on ground level, a pretty stone walkway from our peaceful patio to the restaurant. The bathroom was filled with amenities, very clean with a great shower. Comfy beds and large sliding glass doors to patio. The Spa treatments were fabulous and inexpensive. We did not want to leave Temple Tree!

A unique gorgeous setting for this jungle hotel. The decorations were perfect to set the mood. Roomy and welcoming front desk with announcements and daily schedules listed on a common board. Both indoor and outdoor dining was spacious, very clean and welcoming. The outdoor seating overlooked a huge pool and the calm river, across was the jungle.

Lumbini Hokke Hotel

We went to Lumbini in the off season so the hotel was practically empty when we arrived. The location was perfect, very close to all the sites you would want to see in Lumbini. the rooms were clean and set up in a Japanese tradition and style, which was cute. The staff were very helpful and friendly and accomodating for our needs. Unfortuantely the Japanese bath was not open and when we asked for it to be opened we were told its an extra charge of $ 80 US. The Japanese bath area looked not well maintained but otherwise the hotel was wonderful.

The drive was no issues to Dhampus.We started our trek from Damphus with stunning views on route.Stopped at a tea house for lunch which was delicious.Continued our trek to Landruk and stayed at a beautiful lodge.the location of the lodge was great with phenomenal views of the mountains.The rooms were clean and pleasant but basic.We were told this is the best lodge in the region.The food was simple and limited in choice for vegetarians but sufficient for us and we understood the difficulty in supplies. The trek was difficult but well worth it.

The second part of our trek was just as challenging as the first day .A lot of steps down and then a steady climb up for 2.5 hours ,all worth it, you have constant views of the mountains and also the valley. We stopped at a teahouse for lunch in Gandruk,where they made food from scratch for us for lunch which was delicious.

Lumbini

The drive from Chitwan from Lumbini was along a non existent road,it was a dirt road all the way. Road works constantly going on which stopped the traffic.The "road" was extremely busy with trucks, buses, cars and motorbikes.This was on the mountian side so felt very unsafe to me.Ideally i would have flown.
