Nepal Trek Guides have a number of guided treks in Nepal.  Below are just a few of the treks we do.  Please emjoy reading about the treks and Contact Us for further information or to book a trek.

North of Kathmandu valley lies Ganesh Himal and Langtang Lirung. Nestled at the foot of    these Himalayan ranges is a beautiful, secluded, valley filled with natures bounty - the Langtang National Park. Here the rare red pandas lurk in dense lichen-draped rhododendron thickets, heards of blue sheep graze the alpine meadows and lammergeiers glide over glaciated valleys amidst a scenery of lofty Himalayan peaks. From Kyanjin Gompa we will have a chance to climb a ridge on Yala Peak, or hike to the foot of Langshisa glacier, for an incredible view of glaciers, icefalls and snow fields surrounded on all sides by high mountains. The Helambu villages, over the holy Gosainkunda lakes and Laurebenayak pass, are the home of the Sherpas of Nepal.. Their slate and single-roofed villages, that dot the terraced hillsides, present very fine trekking.

The region of Langtang and Helambu although easily approached from Kathmandu is far less trekked than the Annapurna or Everest areas making it all the more attractive. A wonderful walk through a naturalist's trail.

Moderate to difficult Helambu-Langtang trek between 2000m (6,500ft) and 4,380m (14,366ft) with one pass crossing of 4,610m (15,120ft) and optional hiking to 5,100m (16,700ft) on Yala Peak. Accommodation in comfortable lodges run by local families. The trek starts with a drive from Kathmandu and includes all meals, services of experienced trek guide and porters to carry luggage. Clients carry a light day-pack only and walk at their own pace.

LANGTANG 14 DAY TREKKING ITINERARY:

Manaslu Round Trekking is considered as one of the most challenging treks in Nepal Himalayas. The Manaslu Circuit Trekking rewards the adventurous with an unparalleled alpine experience. Mean the while this trekking offers a rich Himalayan Cultural experiences. This trekking route was opened for foreign trekkers in 1992.

The Manaslu Round/Circuit Trekking Round route leads ahead Budi Gandaki River valley, which is fed by innumerable rivers and waterfalls, offering the chance of a plunge into some bathing pools. From here, the strenuous section begins and yaks begin to out number people in the rocky landscape. In Samagoan (3450m) we visit the glacial green lake of Birendra, before crossing into mystic Samdo, a mere 15km from the Tibetan border. Here Tibetan monks inhabit sacred monasteries and combined with the views of the Tibetan plateau against stark white Himalayas this is a truly spiritual place. The biggest challenge then awaits - crossing the snow bound Larkya La pass (5213m). Snow-covered peaks over 6500m towers above as we cross. The descent, once off the snow, takes us through alpine then tropical areas, bursting with ferns, bamboo, pine trees, waterfalls and aqua-blue green lakes laced with cotton-white beaches. Finally, Manaslu will disappear as we descend to Beshishar (832m.) This 3week excursion will leave you with a sense of peace and respect for the people of Nepal and its ecological wonders.

The route crosses rivers, villages, forest and glacier. After Larkya La enters into Annapurna. However, we have to take two weeks permit for round Manaslu area trekking. The Manaslu Round/Circuit Trekking offers a perfect combination of rich culture heritage, unsurpassed Himalayan beauty, and a rich mountain biological diversity

MANASLU CIRCUIT TREKKING ITINERARY:

Reach The Village Treks are designed for the tourist who is interested in viewing Nepali culture up close. Our Village Treks travel through rural areas using the same routes the locals use on a daily basis. You get to observe rural farmers going about their days work, their children trotting off to school in regions few tourists travel.

By design our routes are not all that physically challenging. These treks are about experiencing Nepali life, not about ascending to altitude. Our lodgings are basic as we stay with locals as much as we can. We eat in the local style although we supply our own filtered water. Our guides oversee the cooking to ensure quality.

This is not a trek for the budget traveller. Part of what we do is provide an income to rural poor who would otherwise not earn cash.

Treks operate out of Pokhara and last a minimum of 3 days. We do have longer treks but we ensure we are always within a days hike to a major roadway. We can design treks according to your schedule and the number of people involved. Please contact us for further information and once we know your wishes we can make a plan together to fit your schedule and budget.

Part of the fee is used to support village level developments with a strong focus on enabling young girls to attend and stay in school. We can supply detail information on this upon request.

Reach out and touch the mountains on this trek to the Macchapucchare (Fish Tail) and Annapurna Base Camps, the starting points for mountaineering expeditions to the major peaks in the region, including Annapurna 1, the 10th highest mountain in the world. 

At the Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) hike up the glacial moraine to view the Annapurna South Glacier and a spectacular view of Macchapucchare. Experience the challenge of an overnight stay at an elevation of 4150m (13,600') and view the crystal clear view of the mountains at sunrise.  Trek through the Rhododendron jungle on the way down with amazing and spectacular views of the mountains continuously along the way. The return trip brings you to Ghorapani with its famous hike up Pun Hill to view the sunrise over Annapurna Range.

The trek follows the same route to Tatopani as described earlier including stops at Pun Hill and the Hot Springs of Tatopani.

From this point onwards you travel through the territory populated by the mountain people similar in culture to that of Tibet. 

Travel through the world's deepest valley and get unique and close-up views of the Dhawalagri and Nilgiri peaks. Visit the home of the famous Muktinath temple, the destination of Hindu pilgrims. 

The trek back allows sufficient time to spend time relaxing an extra day at the Tatopani Hot Springs before heading back by a different route to Pokhara.

Visit the Annapurna Conservation Area Project to hear about the various conservation projects in the region.Ghandruk is home to the Gurung Museum, which provides a means to learn more about the mountain people of this region of Nepal. 

This less travelled route is appealing to the traveler interested in the Nepali culture.

The trek is a complete circuit of the famous Annapurna Range including crossing the Thorang Pass at an elevation of 5416m. 

The trip is designed to allow for a gradual acclimatization to high altitude and sufficient time is taken in the region of Menang to prepare for the crossing. 

This trip can take from 18 to 21 days depending upon snow conditions in the Pass and individual acclimatization time.

This trek enters the restricted district of the Upper Mustang and a special permit must be purchased in advance. This is not a trek for the budget traveler as the cost of the permit (in 2006) is $700US for a minimum of 10 days.  The trek starts and ends in Kagbeni and then takes the full 10 days to complete, spending two days in the capital of Lo Montang. 

Typically travelers fly into and out of Jonsom to do this trek although the option is there to trek the whole way to and from Jonsom or to fly in or out as time or budget dictates. This trek is truely breathtaking in its beauty. 

The Upper Mustang people are in some ways the caretakers of the true Tibetan culture and life in the villiages of the Upper Mustang are carried out in the classical Tibetan Buddhist style.

This is the trip of a lifetime.
