Trekking in Nepal - Tours, camping, and sightseeing.

Trekking is the best way to experience Nepal's unbeatable combination of natural beauty and culture. On beaten tracks or virgin trails, Nepal is a trekker's paradise. The very organic rhythm of foot travel is a wonderful way to explore and make meaningful contact with the country.  The immense contrasts in altitude and climates found here, support an equally spectacular mix of lifestyle and wildlife. Nepal is a pioneer in the sport of trekking.


Known as the Himalayan Kingdom, Nepal is dominated by eight of the world's ten highest mountains, including Everest.Each one is over 8000 meters (26,000 ft.) In all, there are 1,310 peaks of 5000 meters (16,900 ft) or more. More than 200,000 tourists come here annually to trek. You will experience superb panoramic views of mountains, a vast diversity of landscape, flora and fauna, colorful cultures, friendly people, and ancient history. Trekkers leave Nepal with grand tales to share with their family and friends.


What is Trekking?
On average, trekking consists of walking daily 5 to 7 hours (or 9 to14 kilometers, to give a feel for distance), on a series of ascents and descents. Though we have different activities, trekking is the ultimate way to enjoy the scenic magnificence, and get to know people with great cultural heritage in Nepal. You will see the great diversity of Nepal during your trekking. The vast landscape of this country is studded with the mighty Himalayas, mysterious monasteries and temples, ancient cities, various endangered species, and highly fascinating flora and fauna, which offer you the most spectacular trekking and touring in this part of world. Trekking allows you to walk through villages that have yet to be influenced by 21st century technology. You can either choose the virgin tracks or the beaten trails to reach the lofty Himalayas,  or "the Stairs of Heaven," as they have been called. For our customers' amusement and adventure, we do offer the treks to many regions depending upon their time and interest. Many people have the misconception that during the trekking they have to climb, but trekking is not mountain climbing. Trekking always refers to walking on trails.


You can always take plenty of time during the trekking to cover distance. We allow ample time for photo stops and for answering individual questions. If you are in good physical condition, a trek should prove no difficulty. Previous experience in hiking and living outdoors is helpful though. Mountaineering experience is not necessary, but you should enjoy walking.

As always, we can arrange custom treks if you don't find one of our hundreds of itineraries quite satisfactory. Please don't hesitate to contact us at any of the methods listed below for more information. Our staff is very friendly and willing to freely answer questions, so you won't feel pressured into choosing an itinerary. Your happiness is our priority!
