Nepal is "home" to 8 of the 14 mountains in the world over 8,000 metres. The highest of them all of course being Everest. This is how you can get the very best views of the highest mountains in Nepal.
High in a remote, isolated part of the Himalayas known as Dolpo lies the magical Phoksundo Lake. It is the most scenic and dramatic mountain lake in Nepal, as well as the deepest too.

We've selected five of the very best Nepal Short Treks. All these Nepal treks can be done within a two week vacation or even less, so you can also include some cultural sightseeing.

High up in a hidden, remote valley, close to the border with Tibet lies a Himalayan secret. The rarely visited, very sparsely populated area of Nar Phu and considered a secret "Shangri La" by some. Nar Phu was actually "off limits" to trekkers until as recently as 2000 and trekking is the only way to access Nar Phu.
It's not a dream. You really can see Everest, the world's highest mountain in style. Just imagine waking from the comfort of a warm and cosy, proper comfortable bed in a proper private bedroom.

A truly mind blowing Himalayan panorama awaits on this short trek to the spectacular and lesser visited Khopra Danda Ridge in the Annapurna region of Nepal.
Here's why Lonely Planet have named the Kangchenjunga region of Nepal one of 2023's top "off the grid" places to go In the world.
Trekking in the Bhutan Himalaya is a little bit different than trekking in Nepal. In Bhutan a trek into the Himalaya is fully supported camping only.
