My wife and I visited Nepal as a family with three children (ages 2,4 and 5) for 6 weeks. We had a wonderful time and great guidance from all the people of the organization. As from our arrival we were picked up at the airport and we were able to do a lot of things: Trekking for 8 days in Annapurna Region, visit Chitwan Nation Park, visit Kathmandu and the local school, trekking for 2 weeks in Solukhumbu region (Peaky peak trek) and with a stay of 6 days in the home village of most of the guides and closing in Bhaktapur. Special thanks to Tirtha(General Manager), Dawa(Guide), Ang dawa(Guide), Pasang and Phurdoma(Porter). I would truly recommend Bright way Trek.
