NepalCan you recommend any short duration Nepal treks?
If you have eight days you can have a wonderful time trekking up the Langtang Valley. You won't see Everest but you will see a lot of stunning mountain scenery. You'd need a day each way for travel to/from Kathmandu then minimum of three days walking up the valley and two days down (these are long days and altitude sickness is a possibility) and then just one day up at the head of the valley.
Just make sure you don't rush and give yourself plenty of time to acclimatise.
