On
beaten trails or virgin tracks, Nepal is a trekker's
paradise. The organic rhythm of foot travel is a wonderful
way to explore and make meaningful contact with the country.
Trekking usually consists of a series of ascents and
descents walking 5 to 7 hours (9 to 14 kms per day on
average with a guide, cook and porters and on some occasions
pack animals.
Trekkers rely on our staff for path finding and an
introduction to the local people, culture, religion, and
lifestyle. A trekking route will often pass through forests
of rhododendron, bamboo, oak, and hemlock, visiting one or
two villages each day. Rivers are crossed on log passages or
suspension bridges.
It’s not unusual to cross snowfields in the morning and
bathe in sub-tropical streams in the afternoon. For the most
part, trekking routes are well traveled by local people, but
remain unmarked without sign posts.
The objective of trekking is not just the particular
destination, but the journey itself. You travel at a modest
pace, observing nature, rural communities, and spectacular
mountain panoramas.
Our job is to ensure your comfort and safety as we take you
where you want to go, at your own pace. We show you what you
have come to see, and help you discover things you had no
idea were there! |
