Trekking in the Himalayas

Being situated on the lap of the mighty Himalayas, Nepal offers unlimited opportunities of specialized mountain tourism. Trekking in Nepal Himalayas is a special and rewarding holiday. As there are few roads extending deeply into the hills, the only way to truly visit the remote regions of the kingdom is in the slowest and most intimate manner walking. It requires more time and effort, but the rewards are greater and unforgettable.

Majestic, awe-inspiring, breathtaking, magnificent the Himalayas deserve every accolade they have ever inspired. But no amount of description can adequately convey the beauty of Nepal's most prized geographical asset. Only trekking in Nepal will confirm what the guidebooks say.

While trekking, you will see the great diversity of Nepal. Villages embrace many ethnic groups and cultures. The terrain changes from tropical jungle to high-glaciated peaks in the space of only 150km. The beauty and attraction of Nepal emanates not only from the mountains themselves, but also from their several attractive surroundings. Nepal is a country of friendly people, picturesque villages and an amazing variety of cultures and traditions.

Trekking in Nepal will take you through a country that has captured the imagination of mountaineers and explorers for more than 100 years. You will meet people in remote villages whose lifestyle has not changed in generations. We take the travelers all over to afford the hidden paradise and magnetic natural, cultural diversities to enjoy their holidays.

Trekking arrangements can be made for mountain climbers as well as for people who have never hiked in the mountain before their visit to Nepal. There are a number of areas, which are open for trekking. The most popular areas are Khumbu (Everest region), Annapurna and Langtang regions. Besides these new destinations are also opened for trekking. People with limited time at their disposal can even avail a number of beautiful day walks within Kathmandu valley which combines cultural experiences with view of the Himalayas.

Trekking can be primarily done in two different ways: The Full camping style trekking and the Tea House style trekking (Lodge trek).

Each guided trek is under the control of a sirdar (experienced trekking guide) who is responsible for arranging accommodation and meals, whether it is a lodge or camping area, and ensuring a full complement of porters are ready every day as well as looking after the other staffs. His responsibility is also to take care of clients and look after them well.

Lodge Treks / Teahouse trekking.
Staying in local inns and lodges, known as teahouse treks, can also be arranged. On lodge trekking we are not going to carry lots of equipment like in camping treks. We only take our necessary gear and porter to carry them. However, privacy, peace and quiet at night, and a relaxed trekking pace have to be sacrificed for the sake of your budget. Our English-speaking Sirdar will assist in arranging places to eat and sleep, while the porters carry your personal baggage. We sleep in the local lodge with proper hospitality. The fresh and hygienic foods would be supplied from the local lodge wherever we reach. Decent accommodations for trekkers are available in the Annapurna, Everest, Langtang and other commonly trekked regions.
Lodges in the hills provide a special meeting place for trekkers from around the world. You will have a good opportunity to see how people in the hills of Nepal live, work and eat and may develop at least a rudimentary knowledge of the Nepalese language.

Camping Treks/Tented trekked.
This is the classic style of trekking in Nepal. Camping treks can be conducted almost anywhere in Nepal. Camping treks is quite large fully organized outfitter. Completed with guide, cook, assistant guide, kitchen boys, kitchen and camp helper, porters for fuel provision of delicious food, we provide unique and fresh foods without harmful chemical by using less number of tin foods, as much as possible we will use fresh fruits and vegetable. High quality of kitchen equipments, sleeping tents, staffs tents, dinning tents, toilet tent, shower tent, dinning table, chairs, mattress, foods, sleeping bags are provided. Local porters carry all provisions, camping equipment, and trekkers' personal baggage.
Full camping treks provide quiet nights, the freedom to choose your own pace, camping sites offering the best views, and most important of all, quiet peace and privacy.

The meals would be supply 3 times a day from the trekking chef as well as tea coffee and chocolate would be served. The menu is always on your choice for Continental, Chinese, Indian or Nepalese items. Your supportive staffs would serve you inside the dinning tent in familiar environment. Those on camping treks, trekkers interact with Nepal and its people that will determine the richness of your experiences. You can learn Nepali and gain great cultural insight from the Nepali staffs thus the camping treks offers you an extra excitement of trekking in Himalayas.



Trek Gradation

Easy : Generally between 900 and 2000 meters (3000-6500 feet) with plenty of ups and downs. Travellers needs to be regular walkers to fully enjoy this experience. It is possible, however, to design "easy and short" three or four day treks with only two to five hours walking per day.

Moderate : Possibly involving side trips to higher elevations between 900 and 3000 meters (3000 - 10000 feet).

Moderate to Strenuous : Reasonably demanding trekking at altitude up-to 4000 meters (13000 feet) with trips to higher elevations and could include treks away from villages on ill-defined mountain trails.

Strenuous : All Tibet tours are included here primarily because of the rigours of the climate and over high altitude, varying from Lhasa 3700 meters (12000 feet) to high pass crossing by vehicles or on foot over 5000 meters (16500 feet). Treks in other areas treks of demanding nature, require all participants to be fit and in excellent health, often in remote alpine areas and sometimes reaching altitudes over 5500 meters (18000 feet).

Alpine : These are extremely demanding treks, sometimes in very remote areas on rough terrain, and could include (in Nepal) climbs of one or more of the "trekking peaks" (maximum altitude, Mt. Meera at 6461 meters, 21192 feet). Participants should have at least a basic knowledge of the use of crampons and ice axe, though first time climbers may be accepted on some of the "easy" routes. Medical certificates are required for acceptance into these climbing treks.
