Nepal Trekking and Expeditions

Nepal, a fascinating Himalayan Kingdom, occupies the largest part of the youngest mountain range on earth. The towering Himalayan range extends 800km across the country--a magnificent landscape stretching from northern snow-capped mountains, eight of them rising above 8000m, to the southern plains, less than 200m above sea-level--all within a relatively short distance. These sharp contrasts and diversity in the landscape and climate made Nepal an enchanting destination, offering opportunities to experience the mountain grandeur in the north and exotic wildlife and subtropical vegetation in the south.

Trekking is by far the most popular means of seeing and understanding the country. Nepal’s natural beauty has enraptured many a tourist who returns each year to embark on a new trek. The spectacular mountain views, the enchanting little villages strewn all over the hills, the lush green terraced rice fields, the gentle smiling people and the rich variety of their culture is indeed endearing. A trek can be of a few days or may stretch to three weeks. Options there are many: teahouse (lodge) treks or camping out on tents. The most popular treks are in the Annapurna and Everest regions, which are consequently also the most developed in terms of tourist facilities. The trek can include the base camp to one of these mountains. A popular alternative destination is the Langtang region with the Gosaikunda lake which is a pilgrimage site for Hindus.
We invite all lovers of nature, adventurers, trekkers, climbers, bird watchers and wild life viewers to join in our trips for the adventure of a lifetime!

These treks are through popular and well-travelled areas. The tea houses are usually small basic lodges offering accommodation and food for travellers. We rely on these tea houses for food and shelter and thus require minimal equipment. Our experienced guides will select the best teahouse in the villages, and if required, will go ahead to find shelter in peak season. The tea houses are also a meeting point for trekkers from various parts of the world. These treks are economical, suitable for both youth and budget tourists.
