About Trekking
The Kingdom of Nepal is well known as one of the best destinations in the world for enjoying the real beauty of nature through trekking. The trail into the interior parts of the country follows ancient foot-trails which meander through scenic river-banks, intricately terraced fields and the forested ridges connecting picturesque hamlets and mountain villages. Trekkers can walk along the rough but beautiful trails or virgin tracks in the lap of green and friendly looking hills. The rhododendron-filled, green, dark and deep forests with different seasonal flowers blossoming can catch anyone's eye as can the scattered residential cottages, domestic and forest animals, variety of birds, both Hindus and Buddhist temples, mountains, breath-taking landscape, and above all warm greeting from smiling local people. The highly developed and well-defined trails have been used for centuries. Trekking in Nepal is an all season activity. It is possible at any time of the year depending on where one wishes to go. However, the most popular season are spring (February - May ) and autumn (September-November). Even during the monsoon season (June- August), you can trek in the rain- shadow areas north of the Himalaya like Mustang, Upper Manang and Dolpo.

- A Trek is Not a Climbing Trip
- Whether you begin your trek at a roadhead or fly into a remote
mountain airstrip, a large part of it will be in the
Middle Hills region at elevations between 500 and 3000 metres. In
this region, there are always well-developed trails through
villages and across mountain passes. Even at high altitudes there
are intermittent settlements used during summer by shepherds, so
the trails, though often indistinct, are always there. You can
easily travel on any trail without the aid of ropes or
mountaineering skills. There are rare occasions when there is
snow on the trail, and on some high passes it might be necessary
to place a safety line for your companions or porters if there is
deep snow. Still, alpine techniques are almost never used on a
traditional trek. Anyone who has walked extensively in the
mountains has all the skills necessary for an extended trek in
Nepal.
Though some treks venture near glaciers, and even cross the foot of them, most treks do not allow the fulfilment of any Himalayan mountaineering ambitions. Nepal's mountaineering regulations allow trekkers to climb 18 specified peaks with a minimum of formality, but you must still make a few advance arrangements for such climbs. Many agents offer so-called climbing treks which include the ascent of one of these peaks as a feature of the trek. There are a few peaks that, under ideal conditions, are within the resources of individual trekkers. A climb can be arranged in Kathmandu if conditions are right, but a climb of one of the more difficult peaks should be planned well in advance.
- A Trek Requires Physical Effort
- A trek is physically demanding because of its length and the
almost unbelievable changes in elevation. During the 300-km trek
from Jiri to Everest base camp and return, for example, the trail
gains and loses more than 9000 metres of elevation during many
steep ascents and descents. On most treks, the daily gain is less
than 800 metres in about 15 km, though ascents of as much as 1200
metres are possible on some days. You can always take plenty of
time during the day to cover this distance, so the physical
exertion, though quite strenuous at times, is not sustained. You
also can stop frequently and take plenty of time for rest.
Probably the only physical problem that may make a trek impossible is a history of knee problems on descents. In Nepal the descents are long, steep and unrelenting. There is hardly a level stretch of trail in the entire country. If you are an experienced walker and often hike 15 km a day with a pack, a trek should prove no difficulty. You will be pleasantly surprised at how easy the hiking can be if you only carry a light backpack and do not have to worry about meal preparation.
Previous experience in hiking and living outdoors is, however, helpful as you make plans for your trek. The first night of a month-long trip is too late to discover that you do not like to sleep in a sleeping bag. Mountaineering experience is not necessary, but you must enjoy walking.
TRIP GRADE
Grade 1: Easy
Easy trekking by Himalayan standards is generally up to 2000m. There are plenty of ups and downs on well-maintained trails. This type of trip is best suited for those who lead a reasonably active life. The trek takes about 3 to 7 days, walking about 4 to 5 hours a day.
Grade 2: Moderate
This involves longer treks (five to ten days) on maintained trails. This type of trek includes day excursions to higher elevations, for which it's advisable to have some previous hill- walking experience. On these treks, we generally achieve an altitude between 900m to 3000m.
Grade 3: Moderate To Strenuous
These treks must be fully supported. We climb to altitudes between 3500 and 5000m. & there are overnight stays at altitudes above 4000m. For this trek, trekkers should be fit & enthusiastic hill walkers prepared to tackle difficult terrain in remote areas.
Grade 4: Strenuous
These treks must be fully supported. We climb to altitudes between 3500 and 5000m. & there are overnight stays at altitudes above 4000m. For this trek, trekkers should be fit & enthusiastic hill walkers prepared to tackle difficult terrain in remote areas.
Grade 5: Very Strenuous
This trek is best described as Alpine, and suitable is suitable for those in excellent health, capable of carrying a backpack, when required. The trek covers very remote areas, traveling over snow-covered passes at an altitudes of up to 6500m. You will need to axes and crampons. No strenuous trek should be undertaken without medical clearance.

TREKKING TYPES
Camping Trekking
Over the years, we have pioneered many new routes, away from the well-trodden trails, even on easy, low altitude treks. By traveling as part of self-contained unit, complete with food and quality camping equipment, you are able to follow more interesting, cleaner trails. You can visit quite villages and pass through terraced rice paddies, magnificent forests and beyond, to pristine glacial valleys rarely visited by other trekkers. It also gives us greater scope to select spectacular camp sites for you. Your trek allows an ideal blend of interaction with the local villagers and off-the beaten-track experiences.
Tea House Trekking
Lodges are a feature of the popular classic trails in the Himalayas. With twin-share rooms and beds with foam mattresses, lodges make a comfortable alternative to the traditional tented treks. You enjoy plenty of interaction with local villagers and your host families in the lodges. A variety of healthy and interesting dishes are prepared by your hosts and trekking crew. Supplies are brought from the town to supplement the limited local produce.
Village Treks
We have a range of holidays that complement our main trekking Programme. These are designed to give you an insight into the people and their culture. Where it's possible, we like to use accommodation with a local character, not just because it's more interesting, but because it provides direct local benefit. Some involve a few days on an easy trek, combined with an overland tour. The travel on these holidays can still be demanding, to enjoy this trip you certainly need open and positive mind.
