In Nepal, travel isn’t just about reaching new places, it’s about building connections. The Himalayas may draw you in, but it’s the people, their warmth, and their stories that stay with you long after you’ve left.
At the heart of this philosophy lies Community Homestay Network (CHN), a social enterprise reimagining how tourism impacts communities. Each of CHN’s Nepal trip packages is crafted for travelers who want to explore authentically, travel responsibly, and leave a positive footprint behind.
Here’s your insider guide to five of the most loved and responsible journeys across Nepal, where culture, adventure, and sustainability meet.
1. Kathmandu–Chitwan–Pokhara Golden Triangle
For the perfect blend of culture, wildlife, and beauty, start in Kathmandu. Explore temples echoing centuries-old stories. Stay in community homestays to experience local hospitality, family life, and authentic Nepali cuisine.
Travel south to Chitwan, where the Tharu community showcases vibrant traditions alongside jungle safaris that support conservation. Participate in guided wildlife tours and cultural programs, and learn how your visit contributes to local conservation and education. Finally, relax in Pokhara, the serene lakeside city beneath the Annapurna range, enjoy local crafts, family-run guesthouses, and activities tailored to your interests for a memorable finale to your Nepal experience.
This golden triangle isn’t just a route; it’s a narrative of people, places, and purpose.
2. Rural Life with Locals: Narchyang & Hemjakot
