Trekking in Nepal
WEL- COME TO THE LAND OF SHANGRI-LA
Nepal's bio-diversity land, an incomparable blend of high mountains, spectacular scenery and rich cultures is not exceeded to the road connection with the big cities due to remoteness. It is only possible to explore them by walking through sheepherders or caravan trails. It means trekking. One can walk along the beaten trails or virgin tracks. Either way you are in for an experience for a lifetime. Along with dense forest of rhododendron, isolated hamlets and small mountain villages, birds, animals, temples, monasteries and breathtaking landscapes and on the other hand, you will encounter friendly people of different cultures offering a fascinating glimpse of traditional rural life.
Trekking in the Himalayan opens up new horizons of awareness, blending physical challenge with mental relaxation and a spiritual elation inspired by splendid scenery and heartwarming human encounters. It is a experience that will expand your appreciation of the world and give you a new perspective on you own life.
Different trekking routes offer a different range of lengths and difficulties. Some trekking routes are just a day hiking trip and some are very long and high altitude exploration over the mountain pass. It depends on the your own choice to fulfill your dream.
Assure your safe and enjoyment of trekking trip depends on appealing of expertise and finest crews on your trip. Exploring though the off the beaten track and into a land of discovery, give you deeper insight in the people and surroundings.
We are a Professional trekking agency, specialize in giving you Nepal the way you want to see it. We tailor make trekking requirements with a team of well experienced hands.
Trekking can be as long or short, as easy or difficult as you wish. There are two types of trek in Nepal- those where you stay in small lodges or " tea house" and those which are fully organized or "camping treks"
Most trekkers trek to the more popular trekking routes. For those who are interested in "real adventure" We use selected route which are seldom used by others to make your trek more interesting and fun. We have a wide variety of different treks to suit our clients of all age groups and level of experience.
Lodge Trek (Tea House)
There are three major areas in Nepal where it is possible to walk very well defined trails and stay at local teahouses which vary from two storey hotels to small family homes. The areas are Annapurna, Langtang/Helambu and Everest. Your food and accommodation is arranged in the tea houses built locally along the trails so that we do not need to carry any camping equipment or food stuffs. You will also meet other trekkers in a very sociable environment. All the tea houses are run by Nepalese people so do not think you are missing out on opportunities to mix with the locals. Having a guide for navigational and language purposes is a great benefit - the guides are worth their weight in gold when it comes to making sure you have a full experience of the best Nepal has to offer. Nepalese people by nature have patience and an enthusiasm for life which is envied and respected by nearly all visitors to Nepal. As you encounter the people, they at once welcome you heartily to their lands and provide you an opportunity of experiencing typical Nepalese mountain life. All of our English spoken guides have a good knowledge of the areas you will be trekking. All you need to bring for a tea house trek are warm clothes for the evening, a water bottle; a camera and a good sleeping bag (please see the trekking equipment list). Trip Himalaya organizes the rest - permits, food and accommodation.
Organized (Camping) Trek
An organized trek is for those of you who do not want to be on the main trails and want to experience the joys of camping in wilderness Nepal. Our organized treks involve going as a fully self sufficient team, with cooks, porters and a guide. It is not roughing-it though! Camping with a good crew in Nepal can best be described as a great experience, not an endurance exercise. Every morning, you have a hot cup of tea brought to you in bed and then a bowl of hot water for washing. The food that our team create over kerosene stoves deserves to go in its own best selling cook book, so do not expect to lose weight. An organized trek is a great way to mix with Nepalese people. The teams are fun and there are generally a couple of nights experiencing the local songs and dances of Nepal - when the porters and crew are in the mood. You will trek for anything from 4 to 6 hours a day, but at a relaxed place, stopping en routes when necessary or appropriate to see local village life. While you trek you just carry your small backpack with the things you may need for the day.
