   Some parents choose to embark on a trek with their infants, accompanied by porters who carry all the necessary supplies. However, we only suggest a select few treks for families with children.

   The Short Everest Cultural Trek offers the option of luxury or deluxe lodges, providing comfortable accommodation and breathtaking views of the Himalayas, including Mt Everest, making it an ideal choice for families.

   Alternatively, families can opt for short and easy treks in the foothills of Annapurna, with luxury lodges available for accommodation.

   Another recommended trek for families with children is the Ghorepani Poon-Hill Trek, which is a popular choice in the Annapurna region. This trek is not too remote and offers decent lodges and resorts with en-suite bathrooms and hot showers, ensuring convenience for families.

2. Bird watching, wildlife and nature safari tour
   
   
   
   Nepal's diverse landscape, ranging from 70 meters to the peak of Mt Everest, along with the trans-Himalaya region, contributes to its status as the most ecologically diverse country. With a total of 12 national parks, 1 wildlife reserve, 1 hunting reserve, and 6 conservation areas, Chitwan and Bardia stand out as the most popular parks due to their convenient accessibility for tourists. 

   Family holidays in Nepal are enhanced by guided wildlife and nature safari tours, offering deluxe and luxury accommodations. These tours provide ample opportunities for children to interact with and learn about various plants, birds, and wildlife species, including the endangered Royal Bengal Tiger and Asian Single-horned Rhinos.

3. White water rafting and camping
   
   
   
   Rafting on the Seti and Trishuli rivers can be tailored to accommodate families with children of all ages. In addition to navigating the rapids in an inflatable raft, the experience also includes playing on the untouched sandy shores and immersing oneself in nature. Families can engage in camping games, beach volleyball, building sandcastles, stargazing, and enjoying quality time together. Deluxe tents and resort rooms are available as lodging options.

4. Special interest tour
   
   
   
   Nepal boasts a vibrant living heritage of spirituality and culture from the medieval and ancient Indian subcontinent. Fortunately, there are numerous specialized tour activities that can make cultural and heritage sightseeing engaging for families with kids. Short drop-in pottery lessons, Nepali handmade paper craft, sculpture, farm visits, and 'a day in a village life' are just a few of the unique activities that can be included in a family tour of Nepal. 

5. Helicopter sightseeing of Himalayas 
   

   Helicopter sightseeing of the base camp or Heli-trek are also popular activities among the families visiting Nepal. Trekking may be time consuming, harsh and too monotonous for kids. There are regular helicopter flights to both Everest base camp and Annapurna base camp. This not only guarantees the up close view of the world famous peaks but also allows families to land to get the feel of it. Similarly Heli-trek is a trek made short with helicopter lifting. Mardi Himal trek and Annapurna base camp trek could be done within 2 - 5 days with one way helicopter lifting.
