Trip plans
Two weeks are the classic length for Nepal: a trek of ten days or so, with the rest days high walks need, and time in the old cities before and after. Here is how I would plan them.

Swap the trek, keep the days in the valley.

Rara is Nepal's largest lake, blue and quiet in a ring of pine forest at about 2,990 m, in the remote northwest.

Yes, for one trek of the right length and days in the valley. Trying to fit two treks makes it a rush.
Of course. Every trip I guide is private: we move days, swap the trek or add a night in Bhaktapur as you like. Write to me with your dates.
One day more goes to the valley or a spare day; one day less, choose a shorter trek. The other plans: one week · 10 days · two weeks · three weeks.
Not sure which trek suits you? Tell me your dates and what you hope for, and I will say honestly.
