Nepal is one of the best places in the world for trekking. Trekking along the trails that form the main links between Nepal's isolated villages and settlements - is a unique and unforgettable experience for a whole range of reasons. Beginning with the spectacular mountain scenery, trekking is also an opportunity to enjoy the ages-old ethnic and cultural riches of Nepal, as well as insightful introductions to flora and fauna. Nepal offers treks for every level of fitness, from short to long, from easy to moderate and difficult rugged demanding expeditions.

LODGE TREKS (TEA HOUSE TREKS )
For those clients who do not wish to sleep in tents, we offer lodge treks. While lodge treks are possible in Annapurna, Everest and Langtang region, it is not possible in Mustang and other regions as there are commercial lodges in such areas.

As it is not possible to book these lodges in advance from Kathmandu due to lack of communication facilities, our Sherpa guide will look for the lodge as soon as they arrive the designated village stop. Our guide will always try to get the best available lodges for our clients. However, if the good lodges are already reserved or not available, he will be compelled to accommodate clients at other lodges. All the lodges are very basic in standard and may not have proper shower/toilet facilities. Moreover, during high season, the clients may be accommodated in dormitories in case all the lodged are completely sold out.

All meals will be provided in the same lodges cooked by the lodge owners during trek. The food could be simple, with less variety but enough. Our team for the lodge trekking will consist of a Sherpa guide (Sirdar) and porters (as per requirement). If the group size is large, we provide additional Sherpas to assist clients and the Sirdar. The clients must be pre-informed of all the above points clearly before accepting bookings for lodge treks.

TREKKING SEASON
The usual trekking season lasts from September to May. During the remainder of the year, Monsoon makes traveling wet and offers little in the way of mountain views. But some treks that cross high passes are better attempted in months other than December and January because of the heavy snow fall in some parts of the country. The temperature rises considerably under altitudes of 3000 ft. in April and May in some parts of the country, therefore it is wise to plan accordingly.

EQUIPMENT
We provide two-person waterproof tents, foam mattresses, and all cooking and eating utensils. Trekkers need their own warm clothing, trekking shoes, sleeping bag and other personal equipment. During the trek each trekker carries his own camera, jacket and water bottle in his rucksack. Porters will carry the rest of the luggage.

Some of the trekking items such as sleeping bags, down jackets, shoes etc. are locally available for hire and sale. We can help with their hire. But it is better to bring your own because there is no assurance that you will be able to find the exact type and quality you want.
