Travelstride Take
It is possible to visit Nepal without hardcore trekking. This tour involves some light walks, but you will not be heading to Everest Base Camp! Instead you’ll visit some incredible temples, national parks, and meet local artisans, and go on wildlife safaris. This tour is well suited to older travelers - accommodations are Premium (though amenities will be basic), and the physical level is easy.
