Nepal
is a trekker's paradise. The organic rhythm
of foot travel is a wonderful way to explore
and make meaningful contact with the
country. Trekking usually consists of a series
of ascents and descents walking 5 to 7 hours
(9 to 14 kms per day on average with a guide,
cook and porters and on some occasions pack
animals.
Trekkers
rely on our staff for path finding and an
introduction to the local people, culture,
religion, and lifestyle. A trekking route
will often pass through forests of rhododendron,
bamboo, oak, and hemlock, visiting one or
two villages each day. Rivers are crossed
on log passages or suspension bridges.
It’s not unusual to cross snowfields
in the morning and bathe in sub-tropical
streams in the afternoon. For the most part,
trekking routes are well traveled by local
people, but remain unmarked without sign
posts.
The objective
of trekking is not just the particular destination,
but the journey itself. You travel at a modest
pace, observing nature, rural communities,
and spectacular mountain panoramas.
Our job
is to ensure your comfort and safety as we
take you where you want to go, at your own
pace. We show you what you have come to see,
and help you discover things you had no idea
were there.
