Menu Trekking

Trekking is for anyone who enjoys walking amongst nature. A trek in Nepal is a scenic walk along mountain trails absorbing all the sights and sounds of a foreign land. It does not require you to cling to sheer cliff walls with the mountain goats. You do not need to be a "super fit being". You only need the spirit for adventure. Many trekkers prefer to take a guide and a porter to enhance the enjoyment of their trip.

A trek-day starts around 6 a.m. with a cup of tea/coffee. After packing your duffel bag and daypack, breakfast will be served. The day's trek starts around 7.30 a.m. Porters carry all luggage and equipment. All you need to carry in your daypack are personal items like a water bottle, rain/wind jacket, camera and any other small items you may need on the trail.

The morning's walk to the lunch spot takes about three hours. Around mid-day we usually stop for a simple hot meal at a teahouse. After a three to four hour afternoon hike, the nights lodging is usually reached between 3-4 p.m. In the late afternoon and evening you can relax, wash, read or take a walk nearby. The evening meal is served between 6 to 8 p.m. After dinner the guide will brief members on the next day’s program .

Organized Camping Treks:

A camping trek is fully self-contained. You will be enabled in reaching the remote areas of the mountains where even local villagers are scarce. Accommodations for these treks are tents and your food will be cooked on a kerosene stove by one of our chefs. The staff will carry all the necessary equipments, leaving you free to enjoy the scenery. Our camping treks are all environmentally aware. We choose our spots wisely, disturbing as little of the eco-system as possible. We take nothing but pictures and leave only footprints.
