Overview

Homestay trekking in Nepal gives a chance for trekkers and travelers from around the world to stay with lovely and caring Nepalese families during the holiday trip. While staying they can experience Nepalese culture and traditional lifestyle closely being with a local family, do things with them, can participate in household chores, and learn about how family works. This is the perfect combination of trek and cultural exploration particularly in rural areas dominated by a certain group of ethnic people. Home Stay style of trekking is appropriate for researchers, interns, students, and volunteers visiting a particular trekking area. Trekkers can walk at their own pace and style.

There are private and community homestays available across Nepal, tourists can do a trek staying in homestay accommodation as well. Teahouses along the classic trekking regions in Everest, Annapurna, and Langtang are also sorts of homestay but they are more commercial. Comparatively, homestay is run by families and you find a family atmosphere. In addition, you can participate in any socio-cultural events held in villages, visit local schools, community-run health posts and truly feel the warmth and hospitality of the incredible people of the village.

Some new trekking trails have recently been developed in various trekking regions based on homestay accommodation. One of the most popular trails is ‘Tamang Heritage Trail’ of the Langtang region. Trekkers can explore many unexplored regions across Nepal based on homestay accommodation. Home Stay is indeed an unforgettable experience for every traveler visiting rural areas far from the madding crowds.

Travelers may choose homestay for short or long-term periods as they wish. After a homestay, one can extend the trip to Nepal participating in various leisure or adventure activities. One more important thing is that any expenses made by trekkers during homestay directly contribute to the host family as well as the welfare of the local community of the particular village.
