Thank you Happyland Treks
It was a pleasure traveling with Happyland Treks during my trip in Nepal. Bimal was very professional, helpful and kind, not to mention very knowledgable. He was able to accommodate many of my last minute requests and gave me good local recommendations, as well as checking in regularly with me during my trek with his guide. I totally recommend Happyland Treks to anyone!!!

Awesome NYE Trek!!
My trekking adventure to the peak of Ama Yangri was the absolute highlight of my new years trip to Nepal. I specifically sought out this company because of the glowing reviews and responsive engagement from the owner, Bimal. He did not disappoint. Bimal built a custom trip to accommodate my specific timeline while also maximizing the fun of the trekking experience. Even when there was a last minute emergency, Bimal was able to find a substitute to ensure I had a phenomenal experience. Everything from picking me up from the airport to letting me borrow a few small items I had forgotten to pack for myself, Bimal made this trip an amazing unforgettable experience. Do not hesitate. Book your trip to Nepal, and then let this company coordinate your trekking experience. 10/10.
Response from the operator: Hello, Namaste dear respected brother. Thank you so much for choosing Happyland Treks and sharing your hiking experience on TripAdvisor about Ama Yangri. We’re sorry that you had to climb uphill from base camp to the Ama Yangri Peak, but you did well and successfully reached the summit of Ama Yangri. And return to Kathmandu. We’re really glad to serve you, and thank you for the company in Kathmandu that we had walking around and had great food in the small town of Thamel. We hope to see you again.

3 Day Short Hiking from Kathmandu to Ama Yangri: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does 3 Day Short Hiking from Kathmandu to Ama Yangri cost?
+
Prices start at $393 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3 Day Short Hiking from Kathmandu to Ama Yangri take?
+
Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.
Is 3 Day Short Hiking from Kathmandu to Ama Yangri worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Day Short Hiking from Kathmandu to Ama Yangri?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 3 Day Short Hiking from Kathmandu to Ama Yangri suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3 Day Short Hiking from Kathmandu to Ama Yangri?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 Day Short Hiking from Kathmandu to Ama Yangri start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?
+
On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kathmandu Sightseeing | UNESCO World Heritage sites Private/Group, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek: Private Group & Discounte Price. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kathmandu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 3 Day Short Hiking from Kathmandu to Ama Yangri?
+

International air fare; and Personal equipment. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

What languages is 3 Day Short Hiking from Kathmandu to Ama Yangri offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
