## Two Options for Solo Exploration: Private Adventures and Small Group Tours
Kimkim provides two distinct formats for solo travelers seeking guided experiences in Nepal. You can choose between the personalized attention of private, guided trips or the camaraderie of small, guided group tours. The best option depends on your individual preferences and travel style.
### Private Guided Adventures
Many solo travelers venturing to Nepal choose the personalized experience of traveling alone with a dedicated guide. This option provides maximum flexibility, allowing you to customize your itinerary and explore Nepal at your own pace. You can tailor your adventure to align perfectly with your interests and preferences.
The cost for a private guided tour typically ranges from US $120 to $200 per day. This range depends on factors such as the specific type of trip you choose (for instance, a challenging trek versus a cultural immersion tour) and the level of accommodation you desire. Private tours are available year-round, making them an excellent choice, particularly for trekkers and other travelers visiting Nepal outside the peak seasons when group tours may have limited availability.
### Small Group Tours
Certain Kimkim specialists offer small group tours, primarily focused on trekking adventures. This option is particularly attractive for solo travelers looking to reduce costs while enjoying their Nepal experience alongside like-minded individuals and a knowledgeable guide. Group sizes are typically limited to a maximum of 8 travelers, fostering a more intimate and engaging experience.
Prices for the trek portion of the trip vary, typically ranging from $100 to $130 per person per day. Most group departures are scheduled during Nepal’s two primary trekking seasons: Spring (March to May) and Fall (October to November). If your travel dates fall outside these peak seasons, a private guided trip is generally the more viable option.
Several renowned treks offer group departures, including the challenging Manaslu Circuit Trek, the demanding Three Passes Trek, and the iconic Everest Base Camp Trek. Feel free to inquire with your specialist about availability and pricing details. Please communicate to your specialist whether a private guided trip or a small group tour best suits your needs and preferences as you plan your adventure in Nepal.
