DOLPO TREK

Dolpo is located inside the Shey–Phoksumdo National Park of mid–western Nepal, behind the Dhaulagiri massif, adjoining the Tibetan Plateau. Dolpo remains a truly isolated corner of Nepal: time has stood still here for centuries as the inhabitants of Tibetan stock continue to live, cultivate and trade the way they have done since time immemorial. The ecosystem encompasses a wild and wonderful variety of plants and wildlife, including the blue sheep and snow leopard. A trek through Dolpo is an experience not easily forgotten. We trek through birch and silver fir forest to Chaurikot. Scenic views of Patrasi and Jagadu Himal are visible to the north.

Highlights: If you enjoyed the movie Caravan / Himalaya, then this is the trek to see such natural splendor. Phoksumdo lake's crystal clear blue waters reflecting the spectacular landscape, unique Tibetan Buddhist and Bon settlements with their fascinating monasteries, as well as spectacular snow peaks there is a chance of seeing Himalayan pheasants and blue sheep.
 

SIMIKOT

Simikot is located in far western Nepal, and is about as remote as you can get! Your trek will take you through a unique blend of Tibetan Buddhist and Nepali Gurung cultures. The vertiginous Himalayan trails climb up to a dramatic plateau at over 4000m. Still a traditional pilgrimage route to the holy Mt. Kailash, this trek will reward you with dramatic views and a sense of intimacy with Nepal like no other trek.

Highlights: The uncontrived nature of both the region and people will leave you with a lifetime of memories - truly a wondrous trek experience!

Trek to Limi and Humla via Simikot Limi valley is closed for the tourist but in special request like for the research or government people on request may go to that area. People need to fit for that trip because, it has high passes and narrow and rocky path along the high cliff so well equips. We will provide all things as other area for the camping because of that are does not have teahouse and lodges. We need to supply all things from Nepal Gunj by flight accept some vegetable.

Simikot is the district administration area for whole Humla. It is Far West north from Kathamandu. Fly to Nepal Gunj. It is one of the get way for the Mt. Kailash and Mansarover but the Nepali people who want to go for the pilgrim that part of Tibet the have to go this way other wise we need group visa like other people from rest of the world. So it is isolated area and still Sangria -la of the country. Cross over the high pass and in side the inner Himalayas with deep gorge and dry flat desert like Tibet with grassy meadows for the cattle. People are looks like Tibetan and speak Indo-Bramble language like Tibetan people do. Rich Buddhist couture with own separate tradition and rituals. It is land of where the H.H.H.Dhalai Lama had mediated once for the some time. Every three village have own Monastery where they go to prey and celebrated the local festival. Halchi is the big village in the valleys. They make wooden bowels, which is really demands in Lasha, which is made by Maple tree. People of Limi valley they used to do trade to Tibet to Lasha and other part of Tibet also they go to India and other part of Nepal like southern part and Kathamandu. They go to pilgrim when winter start and back when warm season start. They got o Dhrmsala, Sarnath Buddha Gaya, Lumbini and Kathamandu too.
 

RARA

Considered to be the cardle of the ancient Malla civilization. Dense temperate forests teeming with wildlife border remote alpine pastures. The serene, translucent waters of Rara Lake provide a sublime reflection of the surrounding mountains. During autumn the visitor is also rewarded with a profusion of wild alpine flowers. This conveniently short trek is frequently combined with trips Dolpo and Kailash.

Highlights: Unsurpassed lake and mountain scenery, wildlife such as musk deer and black bear. Relax by Nepal's largest lake
 

INNER DOLPO TREK

The Mustang is a major group of Himalayan peaks located between the Langtang and Annapurna Ranges. The Eastern part of the range is famous for the unique Tamang culture to which the Nepali Royal family belongs. This area is truly unspoilt and the visitor is treated to spectacular views of mountains and colourful rhododendron forests. The mighty Manaslu (8156m) dominates the Western Mustang (see below). This area is easily accessed from Kathamandu.

Highlights: See the unique Tamang village life up close, the first Royal Palace at Gorkha, enjoy stunning mountain views, untouched Himalayan forests, avoid the crowds of Annapurna and Everest regions.
