Nepal Trekking Type
In Nepal there are numerous ways to arrange a trek.

Tea-House Trekking
[Go to Top]

The development of locally managed lodges along the popular trekking trails in the Annapurna, Everest and Langtang/Helambu region have resulted in an increasing number of trekkers making use of these facilities. In recent years with the help of Government as well non-Government agencies many of these lodge owners have gone through training programs aimed at raising the quality of services as well as instilling environmental awareness.

For example in the Annapurna Sanctuary and adjacent areas it is now regulation for all lodge owners to use alternative fuel (fuel other than fire wood - kerosene, gas, electric or even solar) for cooking and heating, dispose of garbage properly and adopt other eco-friendly actions. Most lodges have all the basic requirements for trekkers to stay overnight - a dormitory, several private rooms, an attached restaurant, toilet and a shower room. The quality of food offered from lodge to lodge but most serve simple and hygienic meals.

We found it very attractive for trekkers to use these lodges in some of the routes instead of operating camping style treks. One of the main reason being that along these popular routes almost every house offers bed and meals and many camping trekkers find it incongruous to camp near a lodge and not be able to experience the warmth and hospitality of the friendly Nepali hosts. The other important reasons being that this helps the local economies directly by using the facilities along the route.

Keeping this in mind we have been operating Lodge-Treks in some of these classic routes. To make sure that our guests do not get disappointed we stay in simple yet comfortable and interesting lodge in each place. With larger groups we reserve all the beds in a lodge thus making sure that we have the place to ourselves. Our groups are provided with an excellent Guide and porters - possibly from the area you are trekking in - to guide you and carry your luggage while you hike only with a daypack. The homely atmosphere and the grace of their hosts have overwhelmed majority of our Lodge Trekkers and many have made great friends with them.

If you have an urge to trek in some of the most beautiful places in Nepal, interact and make friends with the local people without having to sleep in a cold and lonely tent, Lodge Trekking is just the item for you to make your trekking holiday budget and simply.

Organize (Camping) Trekking
[Go to Top]

During a camping trek you will be accommodated in tents and all meals will be provide for you form the camp cook site. Toilet facilities will be provide in the form of pit toilets and washing facilities will be minimal. When organized by a company, everything will be provided for you as well as the porters to carry everything you need. Camping is a fun and social way of trekking esp. in large groups. If trekking independently on a camping trek, you should note that In populated areas you may be camping on sites near to tea house which means that toilets and showers may be available to you (you rent the site from the tea house for a small cost) and food and fuel supplies can be readily purchased or you can dine in a teahouse.. In remote areas you will be in the wilderness and no such facilities will be available, it is necessary to carry all required food and supplies with you. You should be well researched and prep pared on such trips. Though if trekking in a group a company will take care of everything for you.

Pony Trekking
[Go to Top]

For those people that may have low levels of fitness or physical disability or are not inclined to go trekking it is possible to organize pony treks to some areas. This is a great way for you to experience the breathtaking beauty of the mountains. These treks can either be tented or teahouse depending on your desires. Ponies supplied are small but of strong statue. When you organize though a company, they will provide the ponies for you that are sound and healthy condition and come with experienced handlers. If organizing this yourself, you should make sure the beast you hire is of sound condition and good health and its handler is experienced, some ponies can be quite temperamental.


Mountaineering Peak Climbing
[Go to Top]

This is the most extreme form of trekking in Nepal and requires a high level of fitness and experience and specialized equipment. Nepal, having some of the world’s tallest mountains is a popular destination for peak climbing. When undertaking such activities, you must be part of a registered mountaineering team which is supported by a licensed company. You must obtain the relevant permits and permission before under taking such an expedition. There are companies in neap l that can organize all this for you.
