Trekking in Nepal

Trekking is the gift of Nepal to the world in adventure tourism. To be one with Nature, to regenerate one's own self-esteem, to rediscover oneself, to appreciate Nepal's beauty, to interact with its hospitable and friendly peoples are some of the highlights of trekking in Nepal. Trekking is one long-term activity that draws repeat visitors to the country. Therefore, Nepal is the ultimate destination for the trekking enthusiast. It offers a myriad of possibilities - from the 'short and easy' walking excursions to the 'demanding and strenuous' challenges of the snowy peaks and their foothills and valleys. But however easy, or moderate, or strenuous, there is something for every palate that goes with trekking in Nepal's hills, mountains and hinterlands. The most rewarding way to experience Nepal's indomitable combination of natural beauty and cultural riches is to walk through the length, breadth and the altitudes of Nepal. Trekking in Nepal is as much a unique cultural experience as well as an ultimate Himalayan adventure.

Jumla and Rara lie in remote Karnali region, about 375 Kilometers north-west of Kathmandu. The region is made-up of long ridges covered with temperate forests and alpine pastures enclosing high valleys. Summer season is ideal for trekking. Winters are cold but autumn season trekking is rewarded with profusion of alpine flowers.

This 10 days trek will takes you to the area were there is less crowded with trekkers owing to its remoteness. The added cost of transport and other expenses is made up by the solitude and magnificence of highland scenery. The town of Jumla can be reached by a twin otter flight via Nepalgunj or direct from Kathmandu. This flight provide a wide panorama of western Nepal landscape.

ARUN VALLEY-EVEREST MAKALU

Arun Valley/ Makalu B.C.

Utterly marvelous, still very untouched and an irregular trekking area of Makalu region is very close to the Everest region. Because of Arun River, it is known as Arun Valley too. The Arun Valley is an unimaginable area and it is famous for both the culture and nature. This area is a naturalist's paradise and it is teeming with many precious plants, animals and birds and is a significant part of the Himalayan environment and ecosystem. People living in this remote place depend on cattle herds, farming and small - time trade. The number of population is 32000. Various castes and ethnic groups from this population, they are: Sherpa in the higher elevation, Gurung, Tamang, Magar, Newar, Brahmins, Chhetris and the others in the rest, The tour to those places have many attractions because of the cultural reasons too.

MUSTANG TREK

Lost Kingdom/ Mini Tibet

Isolated for generations by government regulations the tiny region of Mustang huddles on the Tibetan border north of the Annapurna range. A part of the Tibetan plateau, Mustang presents a scene totally different to that seen elsewhere in Nepal. This arid region with its’ fantastically eroded landscape and rich red and gray colors is home to the last of the separate kingdoms that once made up Nepal. The people of Mustang, the Lopa, still practice a lifestyle similar to their Tibetan neighbors who live only a few kilometers over the border. Entry to this fascinating remnant of a past era is still heavily restricted making treks here only of short duration. But, combine Mustang with a longer trek or a rafting and jungle safari and you have an experience equaled by no other.
