Diwali in the Himalayas a Nepalese Adventure 2025 - Hostess Roundup - Donna Simmons

 A spirited group of adventurous sisters answered the call of the mountains with a heartfelt namaste, embarking on an unforgettable journey through Nepal’s majestic landscapes. Our Himalayan adventure began in Kathmandu, where we immersed ourselves in the spiritual ambience of the city. We also enjoyed Nagarkot, a serene village on the edge of the Kathmandu Valley where we were greeted by crystal-clear skies and rare panoramic views of the Everest range.

Our  four day trek through the Annapurna Foothills was a blend of physical challenge and cultural immersion. From the uphill climbs, homestays and traditional blessings, the sisters experienced genuine Nepali hospitality. We enjoyed spectacular views of the Himalayas enriched by organic meals and heartfelt connections with locals.

Transitioning from mountains to jungle, the sisters embraced the wild beauty of Chitwan National Park. Luxurious lodgings, river safaris, jeep game drives, and village walks provided a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.

Our final day back in Kathmandu coincided with the vibrant Diwali and Kukur Tihar festivals, filling the city with sparkling lights and joyful celebrations honoring dogs. A last stroll through Durbar Square and a final glimpse of the Himalayan peaks marked the end of a journey filled with glowing sunrises, warm greetings, and unforgettable memories.

Thanks sisters for an amazing adventure, the mountains called and you answered with spirit and courage.  

Namaste!
