Trekking IN
NEPAL |
|
|
|
Since
early times, Nepal has the reputation of being a
remote and magical mountain Kingdom. Although no
longer so remote. Nepal's natural beauty
continues to attract travelers from all over the
world, who come to experience the Nepal's
uniqueness as trekking destination.
The prime attraction is the Himalayan ranges. An
ancient Sanskrit proverb states "A hundred
divine epochs would not be sufficient to
describe all the Himalayas!" Of the 14 peaks in
the world above 8000 meters, 8 are in Nepal and
beneath the backdrop of these majestic peaks lie
Nepal's hill countries, where most of the major
trekking routes are located. There is the
cultural scenery that represents the many ethnic
groups in these trekking routes . Also there is
the fact that the natural beauty is still
untouched by modern civilization. Although the
Himalayas are still isolated from the few roads
that Nepal has, trekking in Nepal has further
more increased its popularity.
During the busy months of September to November
and February to April, the popular trek routes
in Nepal, particularly the Annapurna sanctuary,
Annapurna circuit and the Everest base camp
areas, attract the majority of the trekkers.
Access to these area are well possible . There
are fine tea houses offering good eating and
sleeping support to the backpackers. We as
experienced trekking agents in kathmandu we have
gone further and explored new terrain such as
the foothills of Jungle, Ganesh and Lamjung
Himal. These entire untouched areas offer
equally rewarding trekking with few other
trekkers and delightful villages and people in a
spectacular environment.
For those seeking greater challenges, the
recently opened Kanchenjunga in east Nepal the
Manaslu and Dhaulagiri himals in central and
Dolpo in the far west may be of interest.
Similarly Sherpa supported" peak climbing" such
as Mera Peak (6461),using a rarely approached
route and Island Peak (6189)) lying below the
flanks of the massive south wall of Lhotse, are
among the favorites.
In the section below you will find detailed
information as the different areas where we
operate our treks, peak climbing and
expeditions. The treks, as described are only
suggested itineraries and may be considerably
modified to suit your personal requirements.

ORGANIZING YOUR TREK
|
|
We
basically arrange two types of treks
|
Tea-House
Treks
|
Camping Treks |
Tea-House
Treks: The most popular way of experiencing
classic treks of Nepal is by using local inns
for accommodation. Decent hotel accommodation
for trekkers is most readily available in the
Annapurna, Langtang and Everest Region. In these
areas you can operate with a bare minimum of
equipment and rely on lodges for food and
shelter. Though bedding is available in the
lodges as a cotton-filled quilt that may not
sufficiently incubate you. So it is always
better to carry your own sleeping bags
Camping Treks: The classic style of trekking in
Nepal is to camp in tents and employ porters to
carry your gears and Sherpas to set up camp,
cook and serve meals. You carry a backpack with
only a water bottle, camera and jacket. In the
camping treks there are numerous hidden expenses
that drive up the rice depending on the
destination, mode of transportation and size of
the group. Because of the food is carried by the
porters, a variety of meals is possible. On
camping trek you sleep in a tent so our
itinerary should not rely on village
settlements. And so we can comfortably trek to
remote regions and to high altitudes.
