My wife and I along with our kids aged 11 and 9 recently completed a 12 day trek in Nepal. The trek we completed is generally called Mohare Danda Khopra Danda. We hired an independent guide and two porters to assist us along the way. The trek were mostly village to village with stops along the way for lunch and overnights at community run lodges. It was truly the most amazing experience.

Our guide Tilak with the kids. They fast became best friends.
Lots of stops along the way to play with baby goats, sheep, and water buffaloes.
We eventually made our way to the mountains (Annapurnas in the background)
Yaks grazing, we eventually go too close to them and they bluff charged us. Annapurna South and Annapurna Fang in the background.

Lunch rest stop. Owner of the lodge picked fresh carrots, broccoli, and cabbage for our vegetable curry.
Day hike up to Khayer Lake. I felt like I was hiking stone staircases in a Lord of the Rings movie.
Temple on the way to Khayer Lake. Eventually made it to Khayer Lake which sits at 4,637 meters.
