Same ten days, three completely different countries — the culture route, the mountain route, and the one almost nobody takes.
Ten days is Nepal’s magic number: long enough to go deep, short enough to fit a real life. But the same ten days can hold three completely different journeys — and choosing between them is really choosing what you want to feel on the flight home.
Below are the three shapes we build most often, each refined over hundreds of departures. Take one as-is, or tell us which two to braid together.
