The Himalayas is home to the largest mountains in the world including the iconic Mount Everest, making this mountain range truly unlike any other in the world. Due to this intimidating, or exhilarating fact, it is no surprise that it is a common misconception that only hard-core mountaineers can explore this region on foot. However, at KE we are passionate about creating holidays for all abilities including easy walking holidays. Whether you’re seeking a stunning landscape, wanting to challenge yourself within your abilities, or seeking an immersive cultural experience, there’s a perfect Himalayan adventure waiting for you.

This Himalayan holiday is an ultimate cultural exploration of Bhutan and one of our easy walking holidays, showing the most iconic sights of this fascinating country. The hardest walk of the holiday will be to the legendary Tigers’ Nest monastery, a unique experience that can only be accessed on foot. While daily walks range from 2-4 hours, there are also days dedicated to the scenic drives between locations that feature snow-capped mountains and herds of grazing yaks.

This holiday is an easy walking holiday that combines the contrasting Himalayan countries of Nepal and Bhutan within a two week easy walking and sightseeing adventure holiday. Walks are generally 1 to 2 hours long on easy terrain and there is one 4 hour walk to Bhutan’s Taktsang Monastery. This holiday allows you to experience the very best cultural highlights of two fascinating Himalayan regions without strenuous trekking. 

We highly recommend our Annapurna and Bandipur Luxury Lodge Trek for the perfect introduction to the Nepal Himalaya. Spend an easy-paced 6 days walking to the summit of Dhampus at 1,525m, a route that will demonstrate that you can experience the staggering views of the Himalayas without undertaking a hard-core climb to reach high altitudes.

This holiday takes you into a lesser-known but just as beautiful region of Bhutan. Following the moderately paced Royal Orchid Trek, you will travel into an area known as ‘the last Shangrila’ on account of its isolation from the rest of the world and the sheer beauty of its scenery. Here you'll stay as special guests of Drongthang Village and experience a wonderful and immersive way of learning all about Bhutanese life and culture.

The Everest Panorama Trek offers a moderate-paced trekking holiday in the Himalayas, beneath a host of renowned peaks including Mount Everest. Your expert guide and team will lead you through remote Sherpa settlements and ancient monasteries, revealing the historic culture and traditions of the Sherpa people. With well-maintained trails and a relatively low altitude for the Himalayan region, it’s accessible for anyone who has reasonable fitness and wants to experience a sense of adventure and challenge related to a Himalayan walking holiday.
