Trekking through Makalu Barun National Park<\/strong>, the homeland of the Sherpa<\/strong>, Rai<\/strong>, and Limbu peoples<\/strong>, visitors experience authentic Himalayan traditions<\/strong>, prayer flags<\/strong>, mani walls<\/strong>, and historic villages<\/strong> like Tashigaon<\/strong> and Kharka<\/strong>. Surrounded by dense rhododendron forests<\/strong>, glacial rivers<\/strong>, and dramatic mountain views<\/strong>, the trail leads through the remote Barun Valley<\/strong> and over Tutu La<\/strong> pass before reaching Makalu Base Camp (5,150m)<\/strong> \u2014 set among Himalayan giants<\/strong> including Everest<\/strong>, Lhotse<\/strong>, and Kanchenjunga<\/strong> \u2014 making this journey an unforgettable Nepal trekking holiday<\/strong> that combines culture<\/strong>, nature<\/strong>, wilderness<\/strong>, and high-altitude adventure<\/strong> in one of the most isolated corners of the Himalaya<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Makalu Base Camp Trek<\/strong> covers approximately 160 to 180 kilometers<\/strong> round trip, with 5 to 7 hours of walking each day<\/strong> over 18 to 22 days<\/strong>. This trek calls for strong physical fitness<\/strong> and a good grasp of high-altitude challenges<\/strong>, with trails pushing past 5,000 meters<\/strong> over rough, steep ground that puts stamina and determination to the test. The best seasons<\/strong> to undertake this trek are spring from March to May<\/strong> and autumn from September to November<\/strong>, when the skies are clear, temperatures are mild, and the mountain views<\/strong> are at their most spectacular. Winter treks<\/strong> from December to February are possible but bring cold temperatures and snow, while the monsoon season from June to August<\/strong> is generally avoided due to heavy rainfall, landslides, and challenging trail conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Permits required<\/strong> for the trek include the Makalu Barun National Park Entry Permit<\/strong> costing approximately USD 30 for SAARC nationals<\/strong> and USD 50 for foreign nationals<\/strong>, along with the TIMS card<\/strong> costing around USD 10 to 20<\/strong>. These permits are easily arranged in Kathmandu<\/strong>, either directly at the Nepal Tourism Board<\/strong> office or through any licensed trekking company<\/strong> in the city. Accommodation<\/strong> along the trail ranges from basic teahouses<\/strong> and lodges<\/strong> in the lower regions to tented camping<\/strong> at higher altitudes, with meals featuring traditional Nepali dal bhat<\/strong>, Tibetan bread<\/strong>, noodles, soups, and hot beverages to keep trekkers energized and warm throughout the journey. Trekkers should budget approximately USD 30 to 50 per day<\/strong> for food and accommodation, and USD 25 to 35 per day<\/strong> for a guide, with porters costing around USD 15 to 25 per day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trek winds through a living sanctuary of Himalayan wildlife<\/strong>, where the forests and alpine slopes shelter elusive creatures<\/strong> like the red panda<\/strong> foraging in bamboo thickets, the snow leopard<\/strong> stalking high craggy ridges, the Himalayan black bear<\/strong> roaming remote valleys, and the musk deer<\/strong> leaving faint traces along hidden trails. Every bend in the path brings something new \u2014 a flash of fur, a distant call, or the simple wonder of being surrounded by such untamed natural beauty<\/strong> \u2014 making the journey as much about wildlife discovery<\/strong> as it is about mountain scenery<\/strong> and cultural encounters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Altitude acclimatization<\/strong> is crucial on the Makalu Base Camp Trek<\/strong>, with proper rest days incorporated to help trekkers adjust to the thinning air and reduce the risk of altitude sickness<\/strong>. Staying hydrated, walking at a steady pace, and following the \"walk high, sleep low\"<\/strong> principle are essential practices for a safe and successful journey<\/strong> to the base camp at 5,150 meters<\/strong>. The risk of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS)<\/strong> is real, and trekkers should be aware of symptoms including headache, nausea, dizziness, and fatigue \u2014 descending immediately is the only cure for severe cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trekking route offers spectacular viewpoints<\/strong> such as Tutu La<\/strong>, Shipton La<\/strong>, and Keke La<\/strong>, each providing sweeping panoramas of the eastern Himalaya's greatest peaks<\/strong>. The Barun Valley<\/strong>, often described as one of the most beautiful and untouched valleys in Nepal<\/strong>, captivates trekkers with its pristine glaciers<\/strong>, cascading waterfalls<\/strong>, and alpine meadows<\/strong> bursting with colorful wildflowers during the spring season<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one should attempt this trek without proper travel insurance<\/strong> \u2014 it must include helicopter rescue<\/strong> and cover altitudes up to 6,000 meters<\/strong>, as emergency evacuation<\/strong> from remote areas can cost thousands of dollars. Emergency evacuation<\/strong> is available via helicopter from most points along the trail, but costs can range from USD 3,000 to 5,000<\/strong>, making insurance non-negotiable. Hiring an experienced local guide<\/strong> and porter<\/strong> is highly recommended, as they provide invaluable navigation support<\/strong>, cultural insights<\/strong>, and assistance with carrying heavy loads, allowing trekkers to fully immerse themselves in the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting to the trailhead<\/strong> requires a flight from Kathmandu to Tumlingtar<\/strong>, which takes about 45 minutes<\/strong>, followed by a drive to Khadbari<\/strong> of approximately 3 to 4 hours<\/strong>. Flights to Tumlingtar are weather-dependent and can be delayed, so trekkers should build in buffer days in their itinerary. Mobile network<\/strong> coverage is available in lower villages but becomes limited or non-existent above 3,500 meters<\/strong>, with Wi-Fi available at some lodges for an additional fee. Electricity for charging<\/strong> is available at teahouses for a small cost, though solar power is unreliable at higher altitudes, so carrying a power bank<\/strong> is strongly advised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drinking water<\/strong> is available from streams and taps along the trail, but it must be treated with purification tablets, filters, or boiled<\/strong> before consumption, as untreated water can cause gastrointestinal issues. Trekkers should also carry cash in Nepali rupees<\/strong>, as there are no ATMs<\/strong> or credit card facilities<\/strong> available beyond Kathmandu \u2014 all expenses on the trail must be paid in cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to bring<\/strong> is just as important as knowing the trail itself. Trekkers should pack layered clothing<\/strong> starting with thermal base wear<\/strong>, a cozy fleece<\/strong> for insulation, a thick down jacket<\/strong> for biting cold, and a waterproof outer shell<\/strong> to shield against wind and rain. Sturdy waterproof trekking boots<\/strong> with good ankle support are non-negotiable, along with trekking poles<\/strong> to ease the strain on knees during steep descents. A sleeping bag rated for sub-zero temperatures<\/strong> is essential for chilly nights in the mountains, while a daypack<\/strong> keeps daily essentials close at hand. A headlamp<\/strong> proves invaluable for early morning starts and dimly lit lodges, and high-SPF sunscreen<\/strong> and UV-blocking sunglasses<\/strong> protect against the harsh glare of the high-altitude sun. A well-stocked first-aid kit<\/strong> with blister care, pain relievers, and personal medications ensures trekkers can handle minor issues on their own, while spare batteries<\/strong> and a power bank<\/strong> keep devices charged when outlets are scarce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Physical preparation<\/strong> is essential, and trekkers should engage in cardiovascular training<\/strong> such as running, swimming, or cycling for at least 3 to 4 months<\/strong> before the trek, along with strength training<\/strong> focusing on legs, core, and back, and hiking with a weighted backpack<\/strong> to simulate trail conditions. A pre-trek medical check-up<\/strong> is recommended, particularly for trekkers with pre-existing conditions, and vaccinations<\/strong> for hepatitis A and B, typhoid, and tetanus<\/strong> are advisable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Makalu Base Camp Trek<\/strong> is more than just a trek \u2014 it is a soulful journey<\/strong> into one of the world's last great wilderness areas<\/strong>. It offers an escape from the crowds of more popular trails, providing a sense of peace<\/strong>, isolation<\/strong>, and profound connection with nature<\/strong> and the Himalayan spirit<\/strong>. For those seeking an authentic off-the-beaten-path adventure<\/strong>, this trek delivers an experience that is both challenging and deeply rewarding, leaving trekkers with memories that last a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the ancient streets of Kathmandu<\/strong> to the icy foot of the world's fifth-highest mountain<\/strong>, the Makalu Base Camp Trek<\/strong> is a journey of discovery<\/strong>, resilience<\/strong>, and wonder<\/strong>. It is a testament to the raw beauty<\/strong> and cultural richness<\/strong> of Nepal's eastern Himalaya<\/strong>, offering a rare glimpse into a world where mountains touch the sky and tradition lives on in every prayer flag<\/strong> and village smile.<\/p>\n","cost_includes":"All transfers within Nepal are included as per itinerary\nAll domestic flights in Nepal as per trekking itinerary\nTrekking accommodation (hotel, lodge and\/or tent) as per itinerary\n Small shared room with shared bathroom during the trekking in Nepal\n In Kathmandu and\/or Pokhara: stay in a ***hotel with breakfast\n Luggage for porters during the trek (12.5 kg\/person)\n 3 meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) during the trekking\n Unlimited tea or coffee with breakfast during the trekking\n One English speaking guide (trekking\/tour) as per itinerary\n Travel insurance for the trekking staff (guide and porters)\n All expenses of the trekking staff during the trekking\n Entrance fees for nature reserves\/national parks as per itinerary\n Special trekking\/climbing permits as per itinerary\n Sightseeing\/wildlife tours if included in the itinerary\n Farewell dinner in Kathmandu before the journey home","cost_excludes":"Single room\/single tent supplement (on request)\n International flight ticket to Nepal (return flight\/one way).\n Tourist visa for Nepal (30-50 $, depending on the length of stay)\n Personal insurance (covers: trip\/flight cancellation, helicopter rescue)\n Meals (lunch, dinner) in hotels in Kathmandu, Pokhara and other cities\n Tips for trekking staff (recommended: 9\u20ac \/10$ per traveller per day)\n Drinks (non-alcoholic, hot or mineral\/cooking water) during the lodge trekking\n Personal trekking and\/or mountaineering equipment for trekking in Nepal\nHotel costs in case of early return from trekking for any reason\n Costs incurred due to flight cancellations and additional porters\/horses during the trek\n Any additional costs for the service and helicopter shuttle flight KTM - Lukla \n Additional costs incurred due to reasons beyond the control of Jagdamba\n Further proof of pandemics like COVID-19 if required in future.\nPersonal expenses during the trek (phone, Wi-Fi, shower, recharge etc.)\n Other costs and things not included in the scope of services","itineraries":[{"title":"Warm Welcome on Arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal & Private Transfer to Hotel","content":"\n

The journey includes walking through traditional Sherpa villages, high-altitude valleys, and glacial landscapes. You\u2019ll receive basic mountaineering training, cross glaciers, and use climbing equipment during the ascent. The summit climb of Island Peak (6,189 m) <\/strong>offers outstanding panoramic views of Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Nuptse, and other Himalayan peaks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"Is the Island Peak Climbing Expedition suitable for beginners?","content":"\n

Yes, the Island Peak Climbing Expedition <\/strong>is suitable for beginners who are physically fit and have some prior high-altitude trekking experience. No technical climbing experience is required, as essential mountaineering skills\u2014such as using crampons, ice axes, harnesses, and ropes\u2014are taught during the expedition. However, participants should be prepared for long trekking days, high altitude, and cold mountain conditions.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"How difficult are the trekking and climbing days?","content":"\n

Most trekking days involve 5\u20137 hours of walking on varied mountain trails. The summit day from High Camp is longer and more demanding, typically taking around 8\u201310 hours round trip. While the climb is physically challenging due to high altitude and endurance requirements, the technical difficulty is relatively low.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"What is the highest altitude, and is altitude sickness a concern?","content":"\n

The highest point reached on the Island Peak Climbing Expedition is 6,189 meters (20,305 feet)<\/strong> above sea level. At this elevation, oxygen levels are significantly reduced, placing the body under considerable physiological stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, altitude sickness is a serious consideration, even for fit and experienced participants. The expedition itinerary is carefully designed to support safe acclimatization through gradual altitude gains, scheduled acclimatization days, and the established practice of \u201cclimb high, sleep low.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Risks associated with high altitude\u2014including Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS)<\/strong>, High-Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE)<\/strong>, and High-Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE)<\/strong>\u2014are managed through slow, staged ascents, experienced guides, and regular health monitoring, including oxygen-saturation checks. Clear protocols are in place for immediate descent if symptoms become severe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medication may be used when appropriate but is never a substitute for proper acclimatization. Participant safety always takes priority over summit objectives, and turning back is considered a responsible and successful decision when conditions or health require it.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"What is the best time to climb Island Peak?","content":"\n

The best time to climb Island Peak<\/strong> is during the spring (March to May)<\/strong> and autumn (September to November)<\/strong> seasons. These periods provide the most stable weather, clear skies, and excellent visibility, creating ideal conditions for a safe and successful ascent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In spring, temperatures are relatively moderate at lower elevations, and longer daylight hours support acclimatization and summit attempts. Autumn is equally popular due to dry weather, minimal precipitation, and outstanding panoramic views of the Himalayan peaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climbing Island Peak in winter (December to February)<\/strong> is possible only for highly experienced climbers, as extreme cold, heavy snowfall, and strong winds significantly increase difficulty and risk. The monsoon season (June to August)<\/strong> is not recommended due to frequent rain, poor visibility, slippery trails, and higher risks of landslides and avalanches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the best combination of safety, weather conditions, and summit success, spring and autumn remain the preferred seasons for Island Peak expeditions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"What technical skills are required for Island Peak?","content":"\n

For trekking peaks such as Island Peak, where permits are issued by the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA), supplemental oxygen is not routinely provided<\/strong> as part of the expedition, as it is generally not required for standard ascents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if a medical professional specifically recommends carrying supplemental oxygen for additional safety or support at high altitude, it can be arranged in advance upon request<\/strong>. In such cases, all oxygen-related arrangements and costs are the responsibility of the participant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This policy allows flexibility while maintaining clear medical responsibility and safety standards, enabling participants to make informed decisions based on personal health needs and professional medical advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout much of the trekking route, mobile network coverage is available<\/strong>, allowing the guide team to communicate and coordinate assistance when necessary, ensuring timely support while following established safety protocols during the expedition.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"What type of accommodation is provided?","content":"\n

Accommodation during the Island Peak expedition includes tea-house lodges during the trekking portion<\/strong> and tented camping at high altitude<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the trek, you will stay in simple local lodges with twin-share rooms<\/strong>, shared only between two participants. Bathroom facilities are generally shared, and while amenities are basic, they are sufficient for rest and recovery in a remote mountain environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chhukung<\/strong> serves as the expedition base, where accommodation is provided in a lodge. From Chhukung, the climb continues to High Camp<\/strong>, where one night of tented camping<\/strong> is spent at approximately 5,500 meters<\/strong> before the summit attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Single rooms in lodges or private tents may be available upon request at an additional cost, depending on location and availability, but cannot be guaranteed in remote high-altitude areas.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"What food and drinking water are provided?","content":"\n

Freshly cooked meals are provided throughout the expedition, prepared at local lodges using available seasonal ingredients. Meals are designed to be nutritious, hygienic, and suitable for high-altitude trekking<\/strong>, helping maintain energy levels and support recovery during long trekking days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At higher elevations, including High Camp<\/strong>, simple but high-energy meals<\/strong> are served to meet increased calorie demands and support summit-day performance. Food options may be more limited at altitude due to remoteness, but meals are prepared carefully with safety and nutrition as priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drinking water is treated and made safe<\/strong> throughout the expedition. Water is either boiled or purified<\/strong> using appropriate treatment methods before consumption. Participants are encouraged to carry reusable water bottles or hydration systems<\/strong> to ensure proper hydration and to minimize plastic waste while trekking in the Himalayas.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"Are facilities like Wi-Fi, electricity, and hot showers available?","content":"\n

Basic facilities such as Wi-Fi, electricity charging, and hot (bucket) showers<\/strong> are available at many lodges along the trekking route, including in lower villages and Chhukung<\/strong>. These services are provided by local lodges and are usually available at an additional cost<\/strong>, with prices increasing at higher elevations due to limited resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As altitude increases, facilities become more limited and less reliable<\/strong>, depending on location, weather conditions, and lodge infrastructure. At High Camp<\/strong> (around 5,500\u20135,600 meters<\/strong>), accommodation is in tents, and Wi-Fi, electricity, and hot shower facilities are not available<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants are advised to take advantage of available facilities at lower elevations and be prepared for basic conditions<\/strong> during the high-altitude climbing phase of the Island Peak expedition.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"What happens if there is bad weather on summit day?","content":"\n

Weather conditions in the high Himalayas can change quickly, and summit attempts are entirely weather-dependent<\/strong>. If conditions such as strong winds, heavy snowfall, poor visibility, or extreme cold make climbing unsafe, the summit attempt may be delayed, rescheduled, or cancelled<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expedition leader and climbing guides closely monitor weather forecasts and on-site conditions. Safety is always the top priority, and decisions are made conservatively based on current and predicted weather, route conditions, and the overall condition of the team. If conditions do not improve within a safe timeframe, the group will descend rather than risk exposure or accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the itinerary is planned with some flexibility to allow for weather-related delays, summit success can never be guaranteed<\/strong>. Turning back due to unfavorable weather is considered a responsible and professional decision.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"Are permits, flights, and logistics included in the package?","content":"\n

Yes, the Island Peak expedition package includes all required permits and core logistical arrangements<\/strong> necessary for the climb. This covers the climbing permit issued by the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA)<\/strong>, as well as all relevant national park and conservation area permits<\/strong> and official documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The package also includes domestic flights within Nepal<\/strong> as outlined in the itinerary, along with porter support, transportation of group equipment<\/strong>, and full logistical coordination throughout the trek and climbing phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This comprehensive arrangement allows participants to focus entirely on the experience, while all essential permits, flights, and expedition logistics are professionally organized and managed in advance.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"What happens if I cannot reach the summit, or need to cancel or return early?","content":"\n

Summit success is never guaranteed and depends on factors such as weather conditions, individual health, acclimatization, and overall safety<\/strong>. If you are unable to continue or reach the summit due to weather, altitude-related issues, or safety concerns, the decision to turn back will be made by the climbing guide in consultation with the participant. All such decisions are made strictly in the interest of safety, and turning back is considered a responsible and professional outcome<\/strong>, not a failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expedition is operated on a full-service basis<\/strong>, and no refunds are provided<\/strong> if the summit cannot be reached for any reason. The primary objective of the expedition is a safe and well-managed high-altitude experience<\/strong>, with summit success always secondary to participant health and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All bookings are subject to a strict cancellation and refund policy<\/strong> due to advance payments for permits, domestic flights, staff, logistics, and local services. Cancellations made by the participant for any reason\u2014including personal circumstances, illness, or fitness issues\u2014are non-refundable<\/strong>, unless otherwise stated in the booking terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a participant must return early to Kathmandu due to health issues, altitude sickness, weather delays, safety concerns, or personal reasons, no refunds are provided for unused services<\/strong>. Any additional costs related to early return\u2014such as accommodation, meals, flight changes, ground transport, or helicopter evacuation\u2014are the responsibility of the participant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In rare cases where the expedition is cancelled by the operator due to extreme weather, force majeure, government restrictions, or safety-related circumstances beyond our control<\/strong>, refunds are limited to recoverable costs only<\/strong>, after deducting non-refundable expenses already paid to third parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These policies ensure transparency, fair cost management, and safety-first decision-making<\/strong>, which are essential for professionally operated Himalayan expeditions.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"Why is Island Peak the right peak for me?","content":"\n

Island Peak is an excellent choice if you are seeking your first true Himalayan climbing experience<\/strong> that combines trekking with moderate technical climbing. While it is more challenging than non-technical trekking peaks, it remains achievable for fit trekkers who want to progress into introductory mountaineering<\/strong> with proper training and guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 6,189 meters<\/strong>, Island Peak offers a rewarding high-altitude climbing experience that includes glacier travel, fixed ropes, and a steeper summit push, providing a strong foundation in alpine climbing skills without requiring advanced technical expertise. The summit rewards climbers with stunning close-up views of Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Nuptse<\/strong>, and surrounding Himalayan giants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expedition is professionally guided and well supported<\/strong>, with structured acclimatization, practical climbing training, certified climbing guides, and carefully managed logistics throughout. This makes Island Peak ideal for those looking for a safe, well-organized introduction to technical Himalayan mountaineering<\/strong> while still achieving a challenging and memorable summit.<\/p>\n"}],"is_featured":true,"trip_reviews":{"reviews":[],"average":0,"count":0},"featured_image":{"width":1024,"height":675,"file":"2026\/07\/Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1.jpg","filesize":99914,"sizes":{"medium":{"file":"Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-300x198.jpg","width":300,"height":198,"filesize":9732,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/naturahimalayatours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-300x198.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"file":"Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"filesize":4967,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/naturahimalayatours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"file":"Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-768x506.jpg","width":768,"height":506,"filesize":43540,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/naturahimalayatours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-768x506.jpg"},"trip-thumb-size":{"file":"Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-500x500.jpg","width":500,"height":500,"filesize":33988,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/naturahimalayatours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-500x500.jpg"},"destination-thumb-size":{"file":"Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-600x675.jpg","width":600,"height":675,"filesize":55224,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/naturahimalayatours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-600x675.jpg"},"destination-thumb-trip-size":{"file":"Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-410x250.jpg","width":410,"height":250,"filesize":15065,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/naturahimalayatours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-410x250.jpg"},"activities-thumb-size":{"file":"Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-600x675.jpg","width":600,"height":675,"filesize":55224,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/naturahimalayatours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-600x675.jpg"},"trip-single-size":{"file":"Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-990x490.jpg","width":990,"height":490,"filesize":52996,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/naturahimalayatours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-990x490.jpg"},"meafe-featured-page":{"file":"Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-500x410.jpg","width":500,"height":410,"filesize":27331,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/naturahimalayatours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-500x410.jpg"},"meafe-testimonial-two":{"file":"Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-272x316.jpg","width":272,"height":316,"filesize":14872,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/naturahimalayatours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-272x316.jpg"},"meafe-blog-one":{"file":"Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-370x247.jpg","width":370,"height":247,"filesize":13567,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/naturahimalayatours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-370x247.jpg"},"meafe-blog-two":{"file":"Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-197x278.jpg","width":197,"height":278,"filesize":10710,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/naturahimalayatours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-197x278.jpg"},"meafe-category-tab":{"file":"Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-355x355.jpg","width":355,"height":355,"filesize":19536,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/naturahimalayatours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-355x355.jpg"},"meafe-category-grid":{"file":"Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-370x370.jpg","width":370,"height":370,"filesize":20956,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/naturahimalayatours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-370x370.jpg"},"meafe-category-grid-one":{"file":"Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-570x530.jpg","width":570,"height":530,"filesize":38775,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/naturahimalayatours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-570x530.jpg"},"meafe-category-grid-two":{"file":"Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-270x180.jpg","width":270,"height":180,"filesize":8316,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/naturahimalayatours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-270x180.jpg"},"meafe-category-grid-three":{"file":"Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-570x320.jpg","width":570,"height":320,"filesize":23936,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/naturahimalayatours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-570x320.jpg"},"meafe-category-grid-lay-three":{"file":"Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-170x170.jpg","width":170,"height":170,"filesize":6098,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/naturahimalayatours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-170x170.jpg"},"meafe-post-modules-small-img":{"file":"Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-300x300.jpg","width":300,"height":300,"filesize":15018,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/naturahimalayatours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nepal-1023-517-1-von-1-300x300.jpg"},"trp-custom
