Nepal is known the world over for its ageless traditions, living legends, colourful festivals, magnificent majestic Himalayan ranges, exciting cultural heritage and diverse flora and fauna.

Adventure is an important part of everyone's life. Nothing can compare to coming home at the end of a good holiday and sharing wonderful adventurous stories with friends and family. Having an adventure in the Himalayas is something you will remember for the rest of your life because not only is there real beauty in this land, there is also always the chance of real excitement. We wish you a hearty welcome you to the land of Buddha, where our countryside will unfold bewitchingly beautiful views and our people will charm you with their warmth and generosity..

Home to eight of the world’s ten highest mountains, Nepal's mountainous and hilly regions offer some of the most spectacular trekking sites in the world. The immense contrasts in altitude and climate found in the different parts of the country support an equally spectacular mix of life styles, vegetation types and wildlife. Landlocked between India and Tibet, Nepal contains some of the world’s most diverse and breathtakingly beautiful landscapes ranging from the impressive peaks of the Himalayan chain in the north, high-altitude plains and remote mountain passes, subtropical forests and national parks, terraced farmland hills and rice paddies, to the fertile plains of the Terai in the country’s south.

TREKKING INFORMATION

Landlocked between India and Tibet, Nepal contains some of the world’s most diverse and breathtakingly beautiful landscapes ranging from the impressive peaks of the Himalayan chain in the north to subtropical forests and national parks and  the fertile plains of the Terai in the south.

For many of our treks, you can choose between staying in tea-houses or camping. A tea-house is a locally run guest house, but standards vary enormously. In popular areas such as Annapurna, tea houses are more like small hotels, with hot water, Western food and private rooms, whereas in more remote areas, they are far simpler and more authentically Nepali. Tea-house trekking is less expensive than camping, and is suitable for small groups. With large groups, irrespective of the area, it is more practical to camp. A team of guides, porters and cooks mean you trek in comfort and provides international-style food of a high standard.

We provide organized treks that are the best value for money while preserving and respecting the environment. We are committed to keeping Nepal green by focusing on ecotourism and low-impact trekking, and preserving the local culture. With camping groups, we always provide our own fuel so that no local wood is used for our cooking purposes. We have a team of experienced and dedicated staff. i

We offer you a wide variety of different treks to suit both novices and experienced trekkers. Whether you have two days or two months to spend in the mountains, an interest in mountaineering, trekking, or nature study, we can arrange an itinerary to suit you.

Beyond Nepal’s capital are a series of remote mountain villages scattered throughout the Himalayas. These villages are sustained by subsistence farming using traditional farming practices of buffalo-drawn ploughs, hand harvesting and threshing of grains, and corn ground by water mills.

A land of eternal fascination, ancient history, cultural richness and diversity as well as pristine countryside, visitors are captivated not only by its impressive peaks, lush terrain and superb scenery, but also by its holiness and spiritual significance.

For the Nepalese, Nepal is not only the ‘Abode of Snow’, but also the abode of the Gods and Goddesses they worship. Traditional beliefs and rituals are an important part of Nepalese life. Tourists wanting to experience Nepal’s spiritual culture can enjoy the many colourful festivals throughout the year.

Ecotourism

Our goal is to enable people to enjoy and learn about the natural, historical and cultural characteristics of unique environments while preserving the integrity of those sites and stimulating the economic development opportunities in local communities. Specifically we always attempt to effectively promote the preservation of entire local ecosystems, not just individual species, vistas or sites.

In numerous places, trekking groups have left littered trails and degraded forest in their wake. Against this alarming backdrop, the practice of ecologically friendly-tourism has been gaining increased momentum – both in Nepal and around the World. Our approach to tourism seeks not only to preserve the environment and culture of a tourist destination but also to be of benefit to the local population. By fostering environmental awareness, both among locals & visitors and by linking tourism to social and economic development, it is possible to preserve the natural and cultural heritage of an area through the promotion of sustainable tourism. This not only enhances the positive experience of those on holiday it also helps to increase the standard of living of the local residents. Such a lot has been said about environmentally friendly tourism and no doubt a lot more will be.

Annapurna Region

Few places in the world have such a splendid variety of natural beauty as the Annapurna region. It is a rare combination of long arrays of snow capped peaks, crystal clear lakes, turbulent rivers within deep gorges, Tibetan monasteries, hot-springs, and picturesque villages inhabited by simple and friendly local people. Behind the grater Himalaya, rain shed trans Himalayan valley. Our treks take you far away from the road, into the heart of the high mountains. The challenging Thorung La will make you feel like you are stood on top of the world! Highlights: Panoramic mountain views, forests of oak, maple, rhododendron, Tibetan settlements, glaciers, lakes, hot springs, apple orchards. Muktinath is home to the holy Vishnu temple with the miraculous fire in the stream of water. Kagbeni is the last settlement before Manang. The scenery changes from dense forests to rock strewn landscapes and mountain splendour.

Everest Region

The Everest trek is justifiably famous, not only for its proximity to the world’s highest mountain but also for its friendly Sherpa people, picturesque villages, great variety of cultures and traditions, colourful festivals and monasteries. The Sagarmatha National Park is rich with flora and fauna, but the existence of the yeti remains a mystery. Amongst the many peaks that surround the trekker daily are Everest, Cho-Oyu, Lhotse, Nuptse, Pumori, Kangtega and Tawoche.

You can trek to Everest Base Camp and see where it all began back in 1953, or you may prefer something a little more remote such as the trek to the Gokyo Valley. Gokyo boasts magnificent views of all the major peaks and is nestled on one of 5 beautiful glacial lakes next to an enormous glacier.

The route to Everest Base Camp is probably the most famous mountain trek in the world. Every spring and autumn the trail fills with awestruck walkers who wind their way through friendly Sherpa villages. Porters and yaks ferrying equipment seem minute compared to the towering heights of Ama Dablam, Kangtega and Tawoche. Base Camp sits astride glacial moraine beneath the unforgiving Khumbu Icefall, and above it all the mighty Everest.

Langtang Region

The Langtang valley is aptly called ‘the valley of glaciers.’ Here, mountains rise soaring towards the sky. The valley offers pine forest, swift mountain streams, rugged rock and snow-capped peaks, grassy downs and meadows strewn with daisies and wild primulas. In the upper part of the valley there are snow ridges spanning angry torrents, high passes enveloped in mist, tiny lakes of crystalline brightness and glaciated mountain giants.  Langtang is a culturally rich and diverse national park.

We look forward to sharing our Nepal Trekking Adventure with you!
