Annapurna Circuit Trek
Widely regarded as one of the world's greatest long-distance treks, the Annapurna Circuit loops through an astonishing diversity of landscapes — from subtropical rice paddies and Hindu villages to Tibetan-Buddhist plateaus and the legendary Thorong La Pass at 5,416 metres. AlpWander's guides know every tea house, every shortcut, and every viewpoint where the Annapurna massif reveals itself in full, jaw-dropping glory.

Canyoning & Rappelling Adventure
For those who prefer their adrenaline vertical, AlpWander's canyoning excursions take you into Nepal's hidden river gorges — rappelling down waterfalls, swimming through natural rock pools, and scrambling along canyon walls with nothing but the roar of water and the rush of gravity for company. Professional safety equipment, certified instructors, and small group sizes ensure the thrill never outpaces the safety.

AlpWander's cultural day tours unlock the living heritage of the Kathmandu Valley — from the medieval courtyards of Bhaktapur and the sacred stupas of Boudhanath to the hilltop temples of Swayambhunath and the ancient durbar squares where Malla kings once held court.
