Nepal's mountainous, hilly and tarai regions provide some of the most
spectacular trekking in the world. Trekking in Nepal will take
you through a country that has captured the imagination of mountaineers
and explorers for more than 100 years. You will meet people
in remote mountain villages whose life style has not changed
in generations. While trekking, you will see the great diversity
of scenery and culture Nepal offers. The beauty and attraction
of the Nepal's Himalayas emanates not only from the mountains
themselves, but also from their surroundings. Nepal is a country
of friendly people, picturesque villages and a great variety
of cultures and traditions.
Trip Himalaya Treks & Expedition is a fully registered trekking
company that organizes treks to Nepal's remotest regions or
along the regular trails, with a full camping team or using
tea houses, for both individuals and groups. Trekking in Nepal
can be as long as 2 months or as short as 2 days. It can be
remote with few people, local or tourists, or very sociable
along the main trails with plenty of tea houses and facilities.
There are suitable trails for the super fit and for those of
you who prefer a more gentle ramble. Do not think the Himalayas
is only suitable for the hard and rugged as there are other
trails suitable for those amateur trekkers who have seldom gained
the experience of the mountains in their lives.

TREK (Tea House)
There are three major areas in Nepal where it is possible to
walk very well defined trails and stay at local teahouses which
vary from two storey hotels to small family homes. The areas
are Annapurna, Langtang/Helambu and Everest. Your food and accommodation
is arranged in the tea houses built locally along the trails
so that we do not need to carry any camping equipment or food
stuffs. You will also meet other trekkers in a very sociable
environment. All the tea houses are run by Nepalese people so
do not think you are missing out on opportunities to mix with
the locals. Having a guide for navigational and language purposes
is a great benefit - the guides are worth their weight in gold
when it comes to making sure you have a full experience of the
best Nepal has to offer. Nepalese people by nature have patience
and an enthusiasm for life which is envied and respected by
nearly all visitors to Nepal. As you encounter the people, they
at once welcome you heartily to their lands and provide you
an opportunity of experiencing typical Nepalese mountain life.
All of our English spoken guides have a good knowledge of the
areas you will be trekking. All you need to bring for a tea
house trek are warm clothes for the evening, a water bottle;
a camera and a good sleeping bag (please see the trekking equipment
list). Trip Himalaya organizes the rest - permits, food and
accommodation.
ORGANIZED (Camping Trek)
An organized trek is for those of you who do not want to be
on the main trails and want to experience the joys of camping
in wilderness Nepal. Our organized treks involve going as
a fully self sufficient team, with cooks, porters and a guide.
It is not roughing-it though! Camping with a good crew in
Nepal can best be described as a great experience, not an
endurance exercise. Every morning, you have a hot cup of tea
brought to you in bed and then a bowl of hot water for washing.
The food that our team create over kerosene stoves deserves
to go in its own best selling cook book, so do not expect
to lose weight. An organized trek is a great way to mix with
Nepalese people. The teams are fun and there are generally
a couple of nights experiencing the local songs and dances
of Nepal - when the porters and crew are in the mood. You
will trek for anything from 4 to 6 hours a day, but at a relaxed
pace, stopping en routes when necessary or appropriate to
see local village life. While you trek you just carry your
small backpack with the things you may need for the day.
