Nepal Trekking

 

Nepal is the ultimate for the trekking enthusiast – offering a myriad of possibilities from the short and easy to the demanding challenges of the snowy peaks. Easy, moderate or rigorous there is something for every palate. Nepal has aptly been called “ A Trekker's Paradise” as her terrain mountains, hills and the Tarai – offers some of the most spectacular trekking routes in the world.
The immense contrasts in altitudes and climates found here support an equally spectacular mix of lifestyles, vegetation and wildlife. Trekking in Nepal is as much a cultural experience as a Himalayan adventure. In the shadows and foothills of the icy pinnacles of the Himalaya, one passes picturesque charming villages inhabited, by diverse ethnic groups. Treks vary from expeditions, high altitude treks to simple easy paced walks.

General Information:
Put simply, a trek is an extended walking holiday, suitable for anyone with a spirit of adventure. Most days begin with a stunning Himalayan sunrise, when the crew serves you a piping hot cup of tea and provides you with a warm bowl of washing water. After a heartily cooked breakfast , you generally walk for two to four hours. You need only to set a leisurely pace, allowing plenty of time to absorb the beauty of the surrounding countryside, its peoples and the magnificent mountain backdrop. You are encouraged to take your time, stop for photographs and explore local villages. There is never any pressure to keep up. Remember, your treks is fully pottered, so you only need to carry a day pack with a water bottle, camera, pullover and anything you think you may need during the day. On our higher altitude treks, rest and exploration days are built in to ensure proper acclimatization. Your Crew Additional guides, or Sherpa, accompany you on your trek. They pitch and break camp for you, give directions as they walk with you during the day, and generally ensure you have a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. You travel with the security of having professional back-up on hand. Yaks, ponies or porters from the local region shoulder the main load, so you do not have to do the hard work. You appreciate their help when all you have to carry is your day pack with water, camera and any essentials you might need during the day. Your cooks, whether in lodges or on camping treks, are amazing with strict attention to hygienic foods. All food is prepared on kerosene. Camping Trek : Over the years, we have pioneered many new routes, away from the well-trodden trails, even on easy, low altitude treks. By traveling as part of self-contained unit, complete with food and quality camping equipment, you are able to follow more interesting, cleaner trails. You can visit quite villages and pass through terraced rice paddies, magnificent forests and beyond, to pristine glacial valleys rarely visited by other trekkers. It also gives us greater scope to select spectacular camp sites for you. Your trek allows an ideal blend of interaction with the local villagers and off-the beaten-track experiences.Tea House Trek :Lodges are a feature of the popular classic trails in the Himalayas. With twin-share rooms and beds with foam mattresses, lodges make a comfortable alternative to the traditional tented treks. You enjoy plenty of interaction with local villagers and your host families in the lodges. A variety of healthy and interesting dishes are prepared by your hosts and trekking crew. Supplies are brought from the town to supplement the limited local produce.
WHEN TO GO The beauty of trekking is that is always possible to find a destination to suit the times when you can take your holiday. Different mountain ranges have different seasons and our aim is to trek when condition are favorable. Please refer to our trekking packages index, choose a trek that fits in with when you can – as long as conditions are normal for that time, you can be sure that the trekking will be rewarding
