Nepal has become trekking Paradise for its natural as well as cultural
diversity. Walking through them, best experience of Nepal's unbeatable
combination of natural beauty & cultural riches can be achieved.
The one & only way of knowing & looking at all kinds of diversity
is going on foot.
More than 85% of the total population live in
rural areas. The life of the village is totally different from that
of city area. Modern science blessings like the adventure of motorized
transport, communication have brought great change in the lives
of the people. However, in most part of Nepal, people are still
living simple rural life. One need not only be a mountaineer to
trek in different parts of the country. A longer trek is far better
than shorter to experience the natural diversity & to enjoy
the varieties of flora & fauna within a short distance. Therefore,
there are endless possibilities of treks in Nepal.
There are various types of trekking providing
ample opportunities to explore the life styles, landscape, flora
& fauna & more to get the maximum enjoyment in minimum time.
(The South Africans were the first to use the word trek). Duration
of trekking may be of one day to several days. The trekking is getting
popularized in Nepal due to the fact that the villagers traditionally
use most of the trekking routes in Nepal. These routes are populated
& offer breath-taking landscape.
When Colonel Jimmy Robes opened Mountain Travel
in 1955, his travel began the history of trekking in Nepal. The
concept was similar to the expedition approach used by mountaineers,
with guides, porters & tents. Since 80’s the infrastructure
in the trekking roots has developed to a stage where many options
are possible & the trekkers have many choices of selecting the
option most appropriate & matching for them. Currently, in Nepal,
two kinds of trekking are popular- the first is known as Teahouse
Trekking or Lodge Trekking & the second option is Tent Trekking.

What is Lodge Trekking?
And how it is organized?
A Teahouse Trekking is enormously standard even if it is local run
guesthouse. Teahouse trek is very popular in the well - developed
tourist regions including Annapurna, Everest and Langtang –
Helambu regions where western, continental meals, Nepalese meal
(Dalbhat), and good accommodation with attached bathroom with hot
and cold shower are available in most of the places. This type of
trekking offers you good food, good accommodation in the available
teahouses & lodges. Since Teahouse Trekking is comparatively
expensive than camping, it is more suitable for both small groups
as well as large groups.

?
A: What is Camping Trekking?
Camping trek is best called as Fully Orzanized Supported Trek. As
exploratory or mountaineering expeditions, camping Trek is also
organized in the same style. Camping trek includes a team of guide,
cook, sherpa, & porters to give you accompany. Our porters carry
all trekking gears, food, fuel, & personal belongings, &

they might need during the day. At night, they are provided dining
tents, sleeping tents, & toilet tents. They are also provided
with mattresses and down sleeping bags, all of which are carried
for them with the party. Even tables and chairs are carried.
B: How the Camping Trek is operated?
In a typical Camping Trek, we start trek
around 6 a.m. with a cup of hot tea & you are provided a bowl
of warm water for their washing & cleaning. After packing up
their stuff and daypack, the trekkers are requested to leave their
camp & have a breakfast.
All camping equipments & gears will be packed
by our our well trained staff, then the porters carry them to the
next camping site. Personal belongings of the trekkers they may
need for the day like water bottle, rain gear, camera, etc. should
be carried by themselves.
The Trekkers decision can depend upon their own
on time for viewing the beautiful landscape, taking photographs
and resting or making a short pause. The walk to lunch spot will
normally take 3 hours. Upon your arrival, you are served hot lunch
by our cook & assistant. In the afternoon, after walking about
3 to 4 hours, you can reach at the camp around 4/5 p.m. You can
enjoy tea & snacks while our sherpa pitch the camp. Dinner time
is around 6/7 p.m. in the dining tent lit with a pressurized lantern
& furnished with table & camping tools. You are provided

every camp.
