WHERE TO TREK ?

The Kingdom of Nepal is situated on the southern Himalayan slopes between Tibet and India. The country is as large as Great Britain.

Most of the world`s highest peaks tower over nearly the entire length of northern Nepal. There are eight 8,000m+ peaks, more than one hundred of 7,000m and over one thousand of more than 6,000m !

The `moderate` hilly area at 2,000 to 5,000m is south of these giants and is the main trekking area. Here there are unforgettable views of the snowclad peaks, whilst trekking through fascinating landscape :

Around 3oo km west of Kathmandu is the ANNAPURNA REGION, a popular trekking area in Nepal. On the route you pass through an ever-changing landscape and encounter many different cultural groups. The treks in this area are mostly moderate and can be performed by people in good physical condition without any extreme hill-climbing experience. Trekking always should be undertaken in a measured and relaxed way in order to avoid the risk of altitude sickness by ascending too fast.

North of Kathmandu lies the border with Tibet and the regions of  LANGTANG and GOSAINKUNDA famous for its holy lakes as well as the GANESH HIMAL area, around 100 km west of the capital.

Most famous of all is the EVEREST REGION, the treks leading to the Mt. Everest Base Camp and to the Gokyo Lakes amidst the world`s highest peaks. Mountaineers can also climb some so-called `Trekking Peaks` with heights over 5,000m in this area.

There are also more remote areas such as the regions around MANASLU, MAKALU and KANCHENJUNGA which offer a wonderful trekking experience.

On the barren yet beautiful high altitude plateau bordering Tibet you can explore the unique Tibetan cultures of MUSTANG and DOLPO.
