Arts & Culture & Trekking Tours of Nepal | MUSIC ARTS ADVENTURES NEPAL TOURS

MUSIC, ARTS, CULTURE, & TREKKING TOURS

What is so different about our tours? Our tours let you not just take photos and see the same thing loads of other people see. We let you make actual contacts and make actual friends with some amazing artists and musicians who are off the tourist routes. Yes, you can still see some UNESCO World Heritage sites and lovely views, but our intimately sized tours also let you sign up as a lone person or with a group and make new friends both with your fellow travelers and with the local Nepali people. We also offer components that let you actually try making local crafts, foods, and music, trying traditional dances, and much more. We often hear from our clients that our tour was a positive life changing experience as well as fun and enlightening.

Our passion is to create amazing and memorable experiences that have positive impacts on the places we visit. We make your travel matter with our eco-conscious adventures and extensive experience with local artists, musicians, non-profits , and inspired and pioneering educators on the ground in Nepal.

Does One Need to be a Musician or Artist to come on a tour? No! One does not need to be a musician, or an artist , or an athlete to come on a Music, Arts, and Culture Tour. One just needs to have interests in such things and have interests in meeting people who actually make the art and music and live in authentic cultures. We have a great time on the trips and people generally come out of the trip with new life long friends that they made in our groups and along the way. Check out the website for video clips, photos, and testimonials from past participants.

We also can organize and lead customized tours for groups and are happy to work with schools or other organizations to organize and lead student tours.

OUR NEXT PACKAGE TOUR will be beginning on Friday, March 15, 2024!

This is sure to be an amazing tour, meeting wonderful and creative people, doing and seeing so many unique and unusual things, and seeing truly magnificent views.

We can offer small concerts and jam sessions of Nepali music and dance as well as meeting people of varying expertise in arts and social and/or environmental projects.

[Nepali traditional music is similar to American Appalachian Old Time music. The Nepali fiddle (called a sarangi) tends to be the main instrument in the music and is often accompanied by a wooden flute (called the bansuri) and a hand drum, known as a madal (pronounced like the English word “model.”) The traditional musicians of Nepal are living the life of what is now highly endangered in the United States and other places…what some might call real “Old Time music.” For instance, if a fiddler needs a new instrument, they go out cut some wood off of a tree and build themselves a fiddle (sarangi). If their tuning peg isn’t holding or needs to be replaced, they cut up some wood and make a new one. If they need some rosin for their sarangi bow, they go out in the woods and look for a pine tree and pull off some bark to get the rosin off the bark.]

One may also see and meet some various types of artists, craftspeople, dancers, farmers, shopkeepers, Buddhist monks or nuns, non-profit workers, woodcarvers, and many more.

(In March, October, or November the weather is usually lovely. Nepal is generally sunny and temperatures are in the 70's (Farenheit) in the daytime. It is a truly lovely time of year to be there enjoying the sunshine.)

We do also offer some trekking options as well as tutorials and volunteering options. Contact us if you are interested in those options and we can email you an itinerary.

Many people who come on our tours often do not do group tours and love our tours because we have more intimate sized groups so it feels more like a group of friends traveling together. Many maybe friends who have just met on the tour, but we very soon become a fun and friendly group.

"There are no strangers here, only friends who have not met yet." W.B. Yeats

Limited spots are available for our tours to keep them an intimate size, so if you are interested do not delay in contacting us! We have limited availablity so register early and don't miss out.

A portion of tour proceeds will go to music and arts education programs for needy kids in Nepal.
