We can only give a very brief description in this web-site of the many possible treks which Nepal can offer. Even this list is not comprehensive and we can work out details of other routes if required. Some of the routes can be shortened or extended. Those routes which can be done as a tea shop trek are marked 'TS', together with the grading. Most can be done throughout the trekking season, but where there are seasonal limitations, these are marked.

The routes are described in a west-east direction, starting with the Humla region and ending in the Kanchenjunga area.

HUMLA TO MT. KAILAS - A trek from Nepal into Tibet - Moderate/Strenuous: 16-25 days.

The area has recently been opened to organized trekking groups, and its attraction as a new and exotic trekking destination. Mount Kailas, 6714 meters, is the most sacred mountain in Asia. For the Hindus, the mountain represents the seat of Shiva; for the Buddhists, a terrestrial projection of the cosmic Mandala of Dyani-Buddhas and Boddhisattvas............ The wheel o life.

The Journey through Humla, Nepal's highest, northern most and most remote district is culturally and scenically rewarding. This trek is possible only in the summer monsoon season from May to September, the entire region is snowbound in the winter; passes are closed.

Dolpa lies north-west of the great Dhaulagiri massif. In an intimate seating of Gombas, spectacular vista of mountains, plateaus, valleys and forests, Dolpa offers the strange beauty and grandeur of the far western remote region of Nepal. The lure of Dolpa is its Tibet like setting, the typical Tibetan type of landscape-bare gray brown mountains, white clouds against a lucid blue sky. The northern part of Dolpa is perhaps the highest inhabited land on earth.

We suggest two possible treks depending on the time available. The 21 day trek starts as Jiri and spends a week on the classic expedition route through Solu to reach Namche Bazaar (3446m). The 14 day trek flies in to Lukla (2850m) and gives less time for acclimatization before reaching Namche. Both routes continue via the Tengboche monastery and Dingboche to reach Kala Patter(5540m.) from where there are magnificent views across the Khumbu glacier to Everest, Lhotse and Nuptse. We return to Lukla for the flight back to Kathmandu. At least two full days must be allowed in Kathmandu in case the Lukla flights are canceled.

For those with more serious mountaineering intention, it is possible to combine this classic trek with an ascent of Island Peak (6160m) which is reached from Dingboche. Another possible 'trekking peak' is Lobuche (6119m) but this requires considerable snow and ice skill and experience.

A 21 day trek starting at Jiri and following the classic expedition route through Solu to Namche Bazaar. Then we ascend the Dudh Kosi to the Gokyo lakes and climb Gokyo Ri (5483m) before crossing the glaciated Chho La Pass (5420m) to Lobuche. We climb Kala patter (5540m) before returning to Namche and Lukla for the flight back to Kathmandu, Can be combined with an ascent of Lobuche (6119) for those with sufficient experience.

A 26 day trek starting with a flight to Biratnagar and road transport to Hille. We follow the Arun valley north for four days and then turn west over Salpa Bhanjyang (3350m) and Surkie La (3085m) to reach the Dudh Kosi valley. Heading north we reach Namche Bazaar and continue via Tengboche and Dingoche to Kala Patter (5540m). We return to Lukla for the flight to also walk out through Solu to Jiri . For those with sufficient time, we can include further exploration of the Khumbu with ascents to Gokyo, Island Peak and Lobuche.

A 26 day trek starting with a flight to Biratnagar and road transport to Hille. We make a detour to the delightful village of Chainpur before descending to the Arun valley which we follow to Num.

At 8586m this great peak is topped only by Everest (8848m), and k2 (8614m) in Pakistan. The Nepalese government opened trekking groups only thereby ensuring it retains its unique attractions.

We fly to Biratnagar before driving to Basantapur to start our trekking or we can fly to Taplejung from Biratnagar directly. This is a magnificent walk, starting in the beautiful lowlands of Nepal. We pass through terraced fields, rice paddies and by the neat clustered house of the Newar, Chhettri and Rai people. The trail climbs gradually into a ridgeline of rhododendron, hemlock and fir. The views are spectacular, including Everest, Makalu (8481m), Lhotse and Kanchenjunga, four of the world's five highest mountains. As we gain altitude the views become even more dramatic as we approach the Yalung Glacier. Heading west over a series of high passes, we also visit Pangpema, (4800m) the base camp for many expeditions attempting Kanchenjunga. Our return trail follows the Tamor river valley, before we fly out from Taplejung to Kathmandu. A challenging trek to a rarely visited area, amongst stunning Himalayan majesty.

For the more adventurous traveller there are 18 minor trekking peaks open for Alpine climbing under Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA). The climbing of these peaks is controlled under the rules and regulations formulated by the NMA. Detailed information and application for climbing permits are available at this company.

It should be noted that in most cases the climbing of these minor peaks (trekking peaks) require snow and ice climbing experience. We provide qualified and trained climbing guides to take non-climbers for convenience, safety and expected success. By Himalayan standard, these are considered minor peaks but in fact some of them provide relatively challenging snow and ice climbing of high standard, and more so in winter.
