In Kathmandu Valley:
Kathmandu Valley Culture tour

Thumbnail description: Host Vaskar Uprety brings you through the best of Kathmandu valley, the local Newar people, their villages and lifestyle which little changed by the modern world. We visit many of the Valley’s greatest architectural sites, as well as traditional Newar villages, traveling through beautiful landscapes in the shadow of the mighty Himalayas. This tour is an example and can be tailor made for you according to your specific interests, length of stay in the region, budget and/or special requirements." .

In the Himalayas:
Backpacking in the Himalayas

Thumbnail description: Host Suman Anand Thakuri hits all the Himalayan highlights with this exciting but not terribly demading tour -- backpacking, white-water rafting, wildlife, archeology, local customs and more. He proposes a 15-day itinerary but emphasizes that he is very flexible and glad to customize tours to his clients' interests.

Based in Kathmandu:

Homestay with Nepalese Families

Thumbnail description: Some would say that the tiny kingdom of Nepal is so overcrowded with visitors that no enlightened ecotourist would go there. On the other hand ecotourism provides critically important income for many Nepalese. By promoting homestays among families who have been thoroughly prepared by Nepal's Intercultural Research and Training Centre (ITC), EarthFoot feels satisfied that our visitors will be receiving extraordinary and satisfying deep-immersion experiences while contributing very little to "cultural erosion."
