Pony trekking is an excellent option for elderly individuals or children who are unable to complete long hiking days but still wish to experience Nepal’s natural beauty. There are numerous trekking trails in Nepal that may be challenging for older trekkers, but renting a pony allows access to these scenic routes. Consequently, we have designed accessible trek routes in both Annapurna and Langtang, ideal for pony riding.
In recent years, we have hosted many visitors who wish to experience the Himalayas through pony trekking to hill stations like Nagarkot, Sarangkot, Poon Hill, and Shivapuri. While many can enjoy pony trekking, some sections of difficult terrain may require travelers to dismount, though we can ensure trained and disciplined ponies are available to support your journey.
Pony treks in Nepal possible to arrange for a day or extended period, with most trekking routes located in towns like Kathmandu and Pokhara. From these locations, trekkers can enjoy panoramic views of famous peaks, villages, and the stunning mountain range.
These pony treks generally follow the same routes as regular treks and are available in western Nepal, including Pokhara, Dolpo, and Lo Manthang. Ponies have historically been used for transporting people and goods in Nepal, and now they serve as a unique means of transport for trekkers. At Gokyo Treks and Expedition, we are happy to tailor your pony trekking plan to suit your specific preferences.
