Introduction to Trekking

Organize Trek

In this trek we have to recommend like, Guide , Sherpa , Cook , Kitchen boy and porters and we have recommend all food , tent and matice and all neediable things on the trek. This trek is most safety and costy. Actually this trek is like custom trek and we don’t worry about anything on this trip. Organize trek is most saftier than the tea house trek and it is costly than the tea house trek because in this trek we have to provide all things like meals, water and services in a very excellent way.

Tea House Trek

In this trek we have to recommend just guide, porter, and food. In this trek our having food and sleeping both are in the tea house . We can not stay in own desire we must live in the tea house , where we get . tea house trek is cheaper than the organize trek because we couldn’t recommend like , cook. Sherpa, kitchen boy and service. And it is a safty not as much as organize trek.

Manasalu Circuit

Manasalu1.jpg 22 days, 18 days of strenuous trekking at high elevations. Challenging passes, contact with Tibetan Culture.

This trek around Manasalu, the world’s eighth highest mountain, is more rugged than the Annapurna trek. More importantly, it is visited by only 400 trekkers annually. This is a fascinating walk that circumnavigates Manasalu’s three peaks. We cross the 17,102 ft. Larke La and descend to the Marshyangdi River. 

In addition to the exciting challenges presented by the high passes, this trip offers close contact with pure Tibetan Culture found in the upper Budhi Gandaki River valley.

Nepal Family Trek

familytrek.jpg (10229 bytes) 13 days, 9 shortened days of easy-to-moderate trekking, lots of cultural interactions.

Anthropologists divide the people of Nepal into 50 ethnic groups, each with its own culture and traditions. The common denominator is the focus on family, the key to understanding the people of Nepal. Nowhere is the importance of family cleaner than along this virtually untouched route, allowing us to take an indepth look at life in Nepal as it has been going on for thousands of years. We encourage you to bring your children. 

Porters will be responsible for carrying those who are too young or too tired to walk. We also encourage our Nepali trekkers to bring their children with them, providing a rare opportunity for all the youngsters to fully interact and engage with another culture. Special diet will be provided for children through out the trip.

Everest from Gokyo

everest.jpg 16 days, 11 days of moderate trekking at high elevations beneath the tallest mountain on earth. Fantastic views of Everest.

As the trail to Everest Base Camp become more and more crowded, a need arose to find an alternative route that would be equally spectacular in terms of the mountain experience and views of the world’s tallest peak. The route up to Dudh Pokhari and Gokyo Ri surpasses the traditional route.

 As we follow the Dudh Kosi River toward its source, we pass majestic Cho-Oyu (26750’), the sixth highest peak in the world. Leaving the inhabited world behind, we trek through seasonal yak herding pastures until, at last, we reach out high camp on the shores of Dudh Pokhari (Milk Lake). From here we day hike to 17,990ft. Gokyo Ri, the highest point on the trek, then return to our camp in time for dinner. The view of Everest from Gokyo RI is widely agreed to be better than that from Kala Patther, with more of the mountain visible. We return to Syangboche for our flight to Kathmandu.

Everest from the East

everest1.jpg 25 days, 20 days of strenuous trekking, full range of cultures and elevations (2,900 ft. to 18,200 ft.), one week off-the-beaten-path.

This trip combines the best of both worlds: seeing the popular Khumbu area around Mt. Everest without the crowds, and spending a full week on a remote trail that rarely sees trekkers. This is the route used by the famous British explorer, H.W. Tilman, on the first ever Everest trek back in 1950. We begin with a flight to Tumlingtar, one of the most spectacular flights in the Himalayas

During the flight we will be able to see eight of the 10 tallest peaks in the world, with close-up views of Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu. The first week of the trek is rugged, remote and dramatic. We hike from the hot, subtropical Arun River Valley (2,900’) up over the Salpa Pass (10,990’) in just a few days. On our way to Sherpa country we have fantastic views of Makalu, Kangchanjunga, and Everest’s rarely-seen east face. After a week of passing through villagers that have changed little for centuries, we begin to trek to Everest Base Camp. Enroute we will spend several days acclimatizing at Namche Bazaar and Tyangboche Monastery. The final days’ trek to Base Camp are absolutely spectacular. We fly out from Syangboche. On the April departure, we are treated to spectacular rhododendron forests in full bloom.

A day’s walk through lovely forests to the famous Buddhist monastery of Tyangboche is rewarded with views of Everest rising behind the Lhotse/Nuptse wall and the stunning peak of Ama Dablam. 

The peaceful village of Khumjung provides a glimpse of traditional Sherpa life, before we travel to Syangboche and fly to Kathmandu. After our trek, two more full days in Kathmandu allow time to explore its medieval streets, colorful markets and numerous sacred sites.

This trek is ideal for people who want to see the tallest mountains in the world and meet the friendly Sherpa people who live near them. We will visit four monasteries, spending a full day at three of them. The fall departure will be timed to coincide with the Mani Rimdu festival at Chiwong Gompa, a unique and special opportunity. 

After driving to Jiri, we trek east, crossing several passes before our biggest challenge of the trek, our ascent of Pike (pronounced PEEKAY) Danda (13,333’). We have superb views of four of the world’s five tallest peaks from the ridge, including Everest. We descent to Junbesi and spend a day at nearly Thupten Choling monastery. Our next stop is Taksindu, side of a beautiful Buddhist monastery and home to many of our staff. We will enjoy feeling like family for a day in the homes of our Nepali friends. The last leg of our trek brings us south to Chiwong Gompa, perched a top a sheer cliff.

High Solu

highsolu

19 days, 14 days of moderate trekking at elevations to over 16,000’, wild and remote area.

The Sherpa region of Solu makes a interesting alternative to Khumbu because of its lower elevations and lush fertile valleys. On the whole, the Sherpas of Solu and more prosperous than their cousins in Khumbu. We quickly get into the heart of Solu by flying to Phaplu. We ascend to the cliff - top monastery of Chiwong, before heading into the high country. Our route takes us on a forested ridge above the Beni River, going ever higher toward its source - Dudh Kosi Lake and the glacier of the same name. Our high camp is beside the lake at 16,500’, almost directly at the feet of, and between, the two peaks which dominate the Solu: Numbur (22,831’) and Karyolang (21,919’), one of the few unclimbed summits of its size left in Nepal.

We will descend to visit Thupten Choling monastery and the village of Junbesi before again heading for high ground.

Jaljale Himal High Ridge

Jaljale

26 days, 22 days of strenuous trekking the very remote regions, with views of Everest, Makalu, and Kangchanjuga; untouched villages.

This area was opened to trekking the spring of 1988. Most of the villages along the remote have rarely seen trekkers. We begin with a flight to Tunlingtar on the banks of the Arun River. A day’s trek brings us to Chainpur, just in time for the colorful weekly market held every Friday. Two days later we climb onto the Milke Danda, and begin the gradual ascent across the ridge to Jaljale Himal. 

This is one of the most pristine wilderness to be found in the Himalaya. With its highest point just over 15,000’, Jaljale is the lowest himal in the range. It is a long, spiny mountain, stretching north-south for over 25 miles, with rugged rock formations dotted by clear alpine lakes while the net elevation change and remoteness are challenging. We next travel to the rarely visited town of Topke Gola (13,000’), on the banks of the upper Mewa (papaya) River. It is inhabited by Tibetan traders and yakherders. As we descend the river, the world becomes greener, wormer, and gentler. Shops selling tea and tongba, a fermented millet drink, offer additional opportunities to visit with the local people. We complete our trek at Basantapur and drive to Biratnagar for the flight back to Kathmandu.

kangchanjunga 27 days, 22 days of rugged trekking up to 16,500 feet in very remote regions. Views of Everest, Makalu and Kangchanjunga; untouched village.

For those who want to get to the base camp of one of the 8,000 - meter peaks without the crowds, this is an ideal trek. In addition to spectacular mountain scenery, this area offers Buddhist monasteries, great cultural variety, and very few other trekkers. We begin with scenic flight to Taplejung that offers views of nine of the world’s 8,000 - meter peaks. 

After a visit to the nearby monastery, we ascend the hill above the airstrip - 12,450 feet Pathibhara to a Hindu temple on top.

From Lhonal, we will make a day hike to Pang Pema (16,500’), our high point of the trek. From Pang Pema, we descend to Dobhan where we climb onto the Milke Danda at Gupha Pokhari, named after the lake beside it.

East Nepal

eastnepal.jpg (11355 bytes) 18 days, 15 days of moderate trekking below 11,500’, colorful market, Buddhist monastery, remote villages.

East Nepal is fast becoming the country’s popular new area for trekking. Heavily affected by the summer monsoon, it is the greenest and lushest corner of Nepal, and the most developed agriculturally. It is home to many ex-Gurkha soldiers.

 Numerous ethnic groups are represented along this route. We will visit villages inhabited by people of Tibetan origin, Limbu, Rai tribal, and Aryan Hindus. East Nepal is home to four of the world’s five tallest peaks: Everest, Kangchanjunga, Lhotse and Makalu. Our trek offers stunning views of all of these peaks, and many smaller but no less spectacular mountains. We begin with an hour long flight to Tumlingtar, face-to-face with Gauri Shankar, Everest, and Makalu. A short trek brings us to the bronze - casting center of Chainpur, whose Friday Haat Bazaar is one of the best in Nepal. Villagers from as far as a day’s walk away come ready for a day of bartering, bargaining and socializing. We climb Nundhaki Pass (10,500’), and follow the ridge past yakherders’ huts to our high camp at Goru Dzure (11,500’). We visit a Buddhist monastery near Taplejung, and trek back out on a ridge trail to the road head at Basantapur.

Taste of Trekking/East

tasteoftrekking.jpg (12923 bytes) 11 days, 8 days of relatively leisurely trekking, remote villages, great views.

This trip provides an opportunity for people with limited experience and time to get a good taste of unchanged village life. We trek for eight days through a colorful corner of untravelled eastern Nepal, passing some of the prettiest villages in the Himalaya. We will visit Chainpur, possibly the most beautiful town in Nepal, on market day.
Thousands of people show up to buy, sell, trade, barter and socialize.

 The trip begins with a flight from Kathmandu to Tumlingtar where our staff will be waiting with dinner on the stove. We ascend 3,000’ to the ridge top trail, which will take us to Chainpur and other interesting villages. After several days of relatively flat walking, we have a final ascent of 2,500’ to the town of Gupha Pokhari, named after the nearby lake. There, we will see the reflections of Makalu, Lhotse and Mt. Everest. We follow the ridge again, enjoying superb views enroute to the road head at Basantapur. We descend to the plains along the Indian border, losing 7000’ in the process and fly back to Kathmandu.

Gosaikunda & Langtang

dhulikhel.jpg 19 days, 15 days moderate trekking.

Langtang is a narrow valley that lies just south of the Tibetan border. The area was designated Nepal’s first Himalayan National Park in 1971. Langtang is inhabited by Tamangs whose religious practices, language and dress are much the same as their cousins in Tibet. This trip offers an opportunity to explore villages and visit glaciers at a comfortably low elevation. Gosaikunda is sacred land to thousands of Hindu pilgrims who visit the area during a full moon festival in August. 

Starting at Sundarijal on the perimeter of the Kathmandu Valley, we trek north through isolated Sherpa settlements to the string of lakes at 14,150 ft. Gosaikunda. Descending the steep back side of this huge rock citadel, we enter the narrow Langtang Valley. The head of the valley is a spectacular canyon known as Lang Sisa, where we camp for several days to explore the nearby glaciers. We may have an option to climb 16,353 ft.
