We organize senior citizen friendly treks in Nepal. Normally most of the senior citizens limit their trekking plans more than necessary because of their age. They think that trekking in Nepal is not possible when you are at +60 but it is not like that. Nepal offers different trekking options for trekking from all age groups. It is true that our body is not the same as we get older but that does not mean you must give up all your dreams of trekking in Nepal. There are many treks suitable for senior travelers that do not require much physical exertion and stays below 4000m. They are low altitude treks but you can still enjoy the breath taking mountain views, amazing landscapes, beautiful small villages, local people and their daily life style.
Senior citizen with no trekking experience, short treks that stay below 4000m are highly recommended but if you are experience trekker, you can go for most of the regular treks in Nepal if you travel with 2-3 extra days. But again low altitude treks are strongly suggested because most of the treks above 4000m are with too many steep which can be hard on the knees and not good if you have joint problem. Some of the suggested treks for seniors are listed below.
Trekking cost for seniors is little higher compared to trekking cost for other trekkers as we provide the best accommodation available in the destination. We also provide the best trekking guide with years of experience of trekking with seniors. We also arrange extra man power (porter) for the group of senior trekkers for the safety and comfort. Because of all those reasons, trekking cost for seniors is higher.
we recommend short treks from 5 to 10 days in lower elevation for senior trekkers but sometime we also receive trekking inquiry with special request like trekking in higher altitude, longer period trekking etc. and in that condition we try our best to organize it in the best possible way. We have experience of organizing trekking to Everest base camp for seniors ages from 68 to 76 years old. All the treks we have organized for seniors have been 100% successful till now.
Suggested treks for senior citizen in Nepal:
Everest Base Camp Trek (only if you are experienced trekker).
Annapurna Base Camp Trek (only if you are experienced trekker).
Langtang Gosaikunda Trek (only if you are experienced trekker).
From mid of May to end of August is the monsoon season in Nepal which is not really suggested period for trekking in Nepal. Other than that all the months are suitable for trekking in Nepal. And specially ff you are after warm temperatures, blossoming flora and temperate days, Spring is the ideal season to trek in Nepal.
