Read full trip overview

The Khaptad National Park, named after a renowned and mysterious sage “Khaptad Baba” and located in the mid-mountain region of the Far-Western Nepal, is one of the very famous trekking destinations in Nepal. Established in the year 1984, this National Park, spreading across the area of 225sq km, cover a unique ecosystem of the mid mountain region, thus, allowing the visitors to enjoy the vegetation type that ranges from the subtropical forest to the temperate forest full of  a variety of medicinal herbs. Apart from the vegetation, it also provides a home to animals, like musk deer, wild boar, porcupine, leopard, Himalayan Yellow-throated marten, Himalayan black bear, goral, jackal, Himalayan Thar, wolf, and common Langur; birds, like chyakhura, kalij, titra, dhukor, monal, red and yellow-billed blue magpie, nutcracker, flycatcher, thrushes, Himalayan griffin cuckoos, forktails, wagtails and Danphe and a wide variety of butterflies, moths and insects. An opportunity to explore these varieties attracts a number of tourists to plan a trek to Khaptad National Park in Nepal.

However, Khaptad Trek isn’t just limited to these varieties, but there is more to it. The Khaptad National Park is also a place of religious significance. The existence of the Ashram of Khaptad Swami, Tribeni, Sahasra Linga, Khaptad Lake, Kedardhunga and Mai Than make this place extremely important for religious travelers.  Moreover, mixed vegetation of forest and herbs filled meadows, huge plateau of hilly grassland at the altitude of about 3000m create serene atmosphere, while adding beauty to already scenic landscape.

Apart from the attractions of the Khaptad National Park, this trekking allows trekkers to enjoy the attractions of Dhangadi, Silgadhi, Jhingrana and Chainpur and explore the remote area and settlement of people in living in these areas of Nepal. This trip starts with a flight from Kathmandu to Dhangadhi. From Dhangadhi we drive to Silgadhi, the starting point of the Khaptad Trek. After exploring the national park area for 3 days, the trekking ends as Chainpur, from where, we drive to Dhangadhi and fly back to Kathmandu.

Amigo Treks and Expedition’s 11 days Khaptad Trek package ensures bed and breakfast in Kathmandu and full board meal and accommodation during the trek, an English speaking guide, domestic flight tickets and all ground transportation. The package is a fully customizable package, therefore, can be customized to the requirements, needs and budget of each individual customer. All customized packages guarantee 100% departure.

7Answers ready

Khaptad suits walkers interested in the forests, meadows and cultural sites of far-western Nepal. You need to be comfortable with consecutive walking days and basic facilities, as well as long road transfers.

The trip description recommends spring and autumn. Spring brings flowers to the meadows; in the monsoon trails and roads can be wet, while winter can be cold. We can advise on conditions for your intended dates.

The itinerary takes 11 days from arrival to departure. It includes travel through Dhangadhi, two days exploring Khaptad National Park and a return through Chainpur.

The trek includes several days of walking and an eight- to nine-hour day into Khaptad National Park, as well as long road journeys. Regular hill walks are good preparation; the route is different in character from the higher Himalayan pass treks.

Accommodation in the park area is basic. The package does not clearly specify every overnight stay, so ask us to confirm the lodging or camping arrangements for your departure before booking.

The itinerary flies between Kathmandu and Dhangadhi, drives to Silghadi, and returns by road from Chainpur to Dhangadhi before the flight to Kathmandu. Road and flight schedules can change with weather.

Bring a valid passport and any Nepal visa required. The package lists a licensed guide, but it does not clearly identify the national park entry fee. We will confirm the current entry requirements and what is included before departure.

For the safety and security of your belongings, like passport, air tickets, travel checks, cash and other valuable items, we recommend you bring a neck wallet or money belt to carry these stuffs, while travelling. Do not bring your valuable jewelry along with you. Most of the hotels in Kathmandu provide safety deposit boxes, where you can safely store your valuables, while you are on a trek. However, for the security of your luggage, we suggest you bring a lock. Please note, neither the team leader nor the company will not be responsible for the security involved during any extra activities that you want to undertake which is not included in the itinerary.

Amazing Nepal Motorbike Tour with a Great Guide and Mechanic

Amazing Nepal Motorbike Tour with a Great Guide and Mechanic

We were a group of 8 riders and joined the Nepal Motorbike Tour with Amigo Treks & Expedition in May 2026. The whole trip was very well organized, and everyone in our group had a great time. The bikes were in excellent condition and performed really well throughout the ride. Having an experienced mechanic with us also gave us a lot of confidence, especially on the mountain roads. Sushil, our mechanic, had very good knowledge of the bikes and was always ready to help whenever needed. Our guide, DJ, was fantastic. He knew the roads well, kept the group together and made the ride enjoyable without rushing us. He also helped us understand the places we were passing through and made sure everyone was comfortable during the journey. The hotels selected for the trip were good, and we were happy with the meals and food choices along the way. After long riding days, having comfortable accommodation and good food made a big difference. Overall, it was a memorable motorcycle trip in Nepal. Good bikes, a knowledgeable guide and mechanic, comfortable hotels and a well-planned route made the experience very enjoyable for all 8 of us. We would happily recommend Amigo Treks & Expedition to anyone planning a motorcycle tour in Nepal.

Ultimate Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek

After years of exploring various destinations, Everest Base Camp remained on our bucket list as that one intimidating challenge. The logistics alone seemed overwhelming, and we wondered if we could handle such a demanding trek at this stage of our lives. When we discovered Amigo Treks and Expedition's "Ultimate Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek," we were intrigued by the possibility of experiencing this legendary destination without sacrificing comfort. Arriving in Kathmandu: First Impressions Matter The moment we landed in Kathmandu, we knew we had made the right choice. After a lengthy international flight, the last thing anyone wants is confusion at the airport. The Amigo team was waiting with clear signage and immediately took care of our luggage and transportation to a well-appointed hotel in the city center. This attention to detail set the tone for what would become a consistently well-managed experience. Our exploration of Kathmandu Valley unfolded at a comfortable pace in a private vehicle, allowing us to visit the UNESCO World Heritage Sites without the usual tourist rush. The welcome dinner featured authentic Nepali cuisine and traditional cultural performances, providing meaningful context for the adventure ahead. These initial experiences demonstrated the company's understanding that a successful expedition begins long before reaching the mountains. The Journey Begins: Helicopter Transport to Lukla Rather than taking the standard commercial flight to Lukla, we traveled by private helicopter directly from Kathmandu. This decision proved transformative, offering unobstructed views of the Himalayan range and eliminating potential delays from weather-related flight cancellations. The helicopter approach also provided our first comprehensive view of the terrain we would be traversing, creating anticipation rather than anxiety about the challenge ahead. Upon landing in Lukla, our guides and support team were prepared and organized, facilitating a smooth transition from air travel to the beginning of our trek. This seamless coordination became a consistent theme throughout our expedition. Trekking with Professional Support The trek itself exceeded our expectations for both adventure and comfort. Our experienced guides managed all logistical elements, allowing us to focus entirely on the experience rather than worry about daily arrangements. The route through villages like Phakding and Namche Bazaar was carefully planned with appropriate acclimatization stops, demonstrating genuine concern for trekker safety and comfort. The accommodation selections along the route proved exceptional. Properties such as Yeti Mountain Home, Everest View Hotel, and Culture Home provided comfortable lodging with amenities rarely found at such altitudes. Features like heated rooms, quality bedding, and well-prepared meals addressed the practical challenges of high-altitude trekking while maintaining the authentic mountain experience we sought. These accommodations served a crucial function beyond comfort. After demanding days of trekking, proper rest and nutrition became essential for maintaining energy and enjoyment throughout the journey. The thoughtful selection of lodging directly contributed to our ability to complete the trek successfully. Reaching Our Destination: Base Camp and Kala Patthar The approach through Lobuche and Gorakshep built anticipation for the final objectives. Witnessing sunrise from Kala Patthar over Mount Everest provided the emotional highlight of our expedition. The following day's arrival at Everest Base Camp fulfilled a long-held goal and created a lasting sense of personal accomplishment. The consistent support throughout these final stages allowed us to remain present and engaged with the experience. Rather than managing fatigue or logistics concerns, we could appreciate the significance of reaching these iconic destinations and the remarkable landscape surrounding them. Efficient Return Journey The helicopter return to Kathmandu proved as valuable as the initial flight to Lukla. This approach avoided the lengthy trek back through familiar terrain and provided a final aerial perspective of our entire route. The efficiency of this return allowed more time for reflection and recovery before our departure from Nepal. Overall Assessment This expedition with Amigo Treks and Expedition successfully combined adventure with practical comfort. Several elements distinguished this experience from standard trekking packages. The inclusion of buffer days in the itinerary demonstrated realistic planning for mountain weather conditions. The quality of guides and support staff ensured both safety and cultural education throughout the journey. The comprehensive service approach eliminated routine concerns about meals, permits, and transportation. For travelers seeking a challenging adventure without compromising on service quality, this approach to Everest Base Camp proves highly effective. The experience delivered both the personal satisfaction of completing a demanding trek and the comfort level necessary for full enjoyment of this remarkable destination. The investment in professional planning and quality accommodations transformed what could have been an endurance test into a memorable and enriching travel experience. Our journey to Everest Base Camp will remain a highlight of our travel experiences, combining personal achievement with the discovery of Nepal's extraordinary mountain culture.

Upper Mustang Motorbike Tour

I recently completed the Upper Mustang Motorcycle Tour with Amigo Treks and Expedition, and honestly, I’m still trying to find the words to describe how incredible the experience was. From the moment we kicked off the journey, everything felt smooth, well-organized, and stress-free – thanks to the amazing team at Amigo. The bikes were in great condition and handled the challenging terrain like a dream. Riding through the barren cliffs, ancient villages, and wide open Himalayan landscapes felt surreal, like we were part of something timeless. The route itself was mind-blowing. Every day brought new views, new adventures, and genuine connections with locals. Lo Manthang was a highlight – the walled city felt like stepping into another world. Riding through the Kali Gandaki Gorge, crossing rivers, and passing ancient monasteries made the journey even more spiritual and enriching. But what really made this trip special was the team. Our guide was more than just a guide – he became a friend. Always looking out for us, sharing stories, checking the bikes, and making sure we were safe and having fun. The support vehicle crew were absolute legends too – they had our backs every step of the way. I’ve done a few motorcycle trips in different parts of the world, but this one with Amigo Treks and Expedition stands out by far. The mix of culture, adventure, raw beauty, and the personal touch from the team made this an unforgettable ride. If you’re even thinking about riding to Upper Mustang, stop thinking and go. And do it with Amigo – you won’t regret it.

Everest Motorcycle Tour

Dinesh and the team at Amigo Treks and Expeditions went above and beyond for us. Allowing us to custom-design our trip and adjust it on the go as required, best to suit our group of 18 riders from Australia. Thanks so much. We will be back!
