Trekking

In Nepal

Nepal is a popular tourism activity for trekking. The experience of walking through Nepalese villages, learning their cultures and natural views on the way along are consid- ered once in a life time experience.

The Nepalese landscape with varying altitudes up to 5300 meters for trekking at various routes are to experience true Nepalese lifestyle of indigenous people, their culture and their habitat.

Along with forests of rhodo- dendron, isolated hamlets, small mountain villages, birds, animals, temples, monasteries, and beauti- ful landscapes, one can also meet the very friendly people of different ethnic groups offering a glimpse of fabulous cultures and traditions. Trekking is possible any time round the year but depends upon the place one is visiting. However, the popular seasons for trekking in Nepal are spring and autumn.

During winter trekking is possible in low lands with low altitudes where as in Monsoon, the rain shadow areas- north of the Himalaya like Mustang. Upper Manang and Dolpo would be perfect. We are operating trekking activities with skilled and experienced human resources. We provide all the necessary gears and equipment for trekking depending upon its length and type. Short treks or day hike also can be done to the nearest of Kathmandu if one doesn.t want to take a long trek but they might not be as adventurous as the ones done in Annapuma, Everest and Langtang areas. For those who have already been to most of the popular trekking areas, newly opened destinations such as Nar and Phu of Manang, Ghana Pokhara and Ghale Gaun of Larnjung could be the right alternatives. A permit is necessary for trekking in Nepal which can easily be received with the help of trekking agencies.

Camping Treks:

Himalaya Spirit  has pioneered new treks away from the most-used tourist trails, we travel as contained unit, free to explore beyond the boundaries of habitation, Sleeping at tent, carrying all our food and camping equipment. This ensures your trek follows quiet village trails that lead through terraced rice paddies, magnificent forests and beyond, to glacial valleys rarely traveled by other trekkers. Your trek has the ideal blend of interaction with the local villagers and off beaten track experiences. We are operating the Camping treks in Upper Mustang, Dolpo Area, Kanchanjungha, Manaslu, Dhaulagiri, Arun Valley, Makalu and Gorkha Historical treks.

Lodge Treks:

This treks are a feature of the Everest, Annapurna and Langtang area. The construction for purpose built lodges, the introduction of electricity to many villages and solar power has greatly improved facilities for both the local population and trekkers. There is now no longer any real justification for camping on the main trail to Base Camp, as you are unable to camp away from the villages. The added comfort of lodge accommodation, offering twin share rooms, beds with foam mattresses, showers, kerosene stoves for cooking yak dung and firewood for heating, and excellent choice of food, ensures a more pleasurable experience. You also enjoy close interaction with the host family and greater comfort during the colder months and visit this spectacular region in a style similar to the alpine hut system in the western Alps.

Central Nepal is dominated by Annapurna Himalaya and the town of Pokhara. There are 3 major trekking routes in this region: to Jomsom, to the Annapurna Sanctuary & a circuit of Annapurna massif. Pokhara is also a good starting place for a number of shorter treks, three of which are described in this chapter. The ancient Kingdom of Mustang is also geographically part of the Annapurna region. Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) 7683 Sq KM was established in 1986 under the guidance of the National Trust for Nature Conservation. The area is easily accessible, treks here offer good scenery of high mountains and lowland villages, rivers, waterfalls, Rhododendron forest, their gnarled pinkish limbs festooned with epiphytic ferns and Orchids.

Rhododendron and magnolias give way to birch groves &conifers as you approach the tree line. At higher altitudes, Blue pine, fir pine, Junipers, Hemlock, silver fir are also represented in this area. Golden Eagle, Snow pigeon, Pheasant, Tibetan snow cocks, Himalayan tahr, mammals mask deer, different kinds of Butterflies, snow tiger, yaks so on… are available in this area.

The Region north of Kathmandu offers a multitude of trekking destinations, all accessible without flight. The major areas are Langtang, Gosainkunda Lake (Frozen Lake) and Helambu, which can be combined in many different ways to make treks lasting from 5 to 16 days. Langtang treks offer an experience not found elsewhere. The trail is challenging with long, step climbs and descends, often through deep forests or across glacial moraines. There are outstanding close-up mountain views and interesting villages with well-established lodges.

Trekking goals in eastern Nepal include an eastern approach to Everest, the remote base camp of Makalu Mountain, and the area near Kanchenjunga. There is endless variety in this part of the country. Most ethnic groups are represented and many villages, such as Dhanmuka, Khandbari, and Bhojpur are large, prosperous and clean.
