The layers of mountains ascending to some of the highest peaks in the world make Nepal the best destination to connect with nature and adventure. This is the best place for an active holiday for all age groups and people with different fitness levels. While there are hardcore technical climbing and expeditions to many virgin peaks, the gentle hiking from the luxury resorts at the pristine hill stations makes comfortable active
Nepal holidays for seniors.
The 800 km stretch of the Himalayas in Nepal has eight out of the ten highest peaks in the world. The glacial river gushing down the valleys cut deep gorges. The daunting peaks, steep valleys, and harsh weather kept the mightiest enemies away for centuries, making it a country without an independent day. The hidden valleys sheltered several cultures and practices of the region, while its counterpart went through several upheavals. This small country is a natural paradise with religious and ethnic tolerance among the 125 ethnic groups living across the country.
For long, Nepal was popular for mountaineering and hardcore trekking off the beaten trail. This is yet a virgin country to explore, as it was open for foreigners only half a century ago. The tourism of the country for the first few decades was simply mountaineering. All of the 8,000 m mountains were climbed in the decade of the 1960s and 70es. The hippie movement taught locals to host tourists and run small businesses. It was only by the 1980s that trekking based on teahouses became possible.
The teahouse trek made trekking in the Himalayas cost-effective, easy, and gave more flexibility with lots of options to the trekkers. These days, some popular trekking trails even have comfortable luxury lodges.
Trekking holiday for senior citizens
With the availability of comfortable resorts and luxury lodges at many scenic destinations, Nepal offers active holidays for senior citizens. The extension of airstrips and roads makes it easy to drive or fly to several Himalayan Shangri-las and go on a sort, less strenuous treks and walking. While the luxury lodges/resorts have amenities to spoil you, walking gives you a deeper connection with nature and culture. Nepal trekking holiday for seniors is a combination of beneficial exercise, moments of mindfulness, intellectual fulfilment, and the Himalayan scenery. Recall your old days’ adventure in the serene nature.

For a family with kids
Experienced parents go on most of the teahouse trek with their young ones. For the newbies, there are short treks with pony serves and luxury lodges. A Himalayan holiday for families with kids would be more interesting when combined with a jungle safari, Family White water rafting, and short hikes with a stay in the resorts close to the villages. There are ample activities for the family to create bonds and deep memories.

Solo Female traveller
While trekking in Nepal sounds like a wild adventure, it is highly safe for solo female travellers as well. This is a country with great hospitality and virtue. Major activities like jungle safari, rafting, and trekking are on a group joining basis. So it is not difficult to find others doing the same thing in the peak season. The popular trekking trails of Annapurna, Everest, and Langtang always have other individuals and groups sharing the same teahouse every evening. Trekking solo gives more freedom to walk or do things with other like-minded trekkers or just follow your pace to meet and know more people.
