Home to eight of the world’s ten highest mountains, Nepal's mountainous and hilly regions offer some of the most spectacular trekking sites in the world. The immense contrasts in altitude and climate found in the different parts of the country support an equally spectacular mix of life styles, vegetation types and wildlife. Landlocked between India and Tibet, Nepal contains some of the world’s most diverse and breathtakingly beautiful landscapes ranging from the impressive peaks of the Himalayan chain in the north, high-altitude plains and remote mountain passes, subtropical forests and national parks, terraced farmland hills and rice paddies, to the fertile plains of the Terai in the country’s south.

For many of our treks, you can choose between staying in tea-houses or camping. A tea-house is a locally run guest house, but standards vary enormously. In popular areas such as Annapurna, tea houses are more like small hotels, with hot water, Western food and private rooms, whereas in more remote areas, they are far simpler and more authentically Nepali. Tea-house trekking is less expensive than camping, and is suitable for small groups. With large groups, irrespective of the area, it is more practical to camp. A team of guides, porters and cooks mean you trek in comfort and provides international-style food of a high standard.

We provide organized treks that are the best value for money while preserving and respecting the environment. We are committed to keeping Nepal green by focusing on ecotourism and low-impact trekking, and preserving the local culture. With camping groups, we always provide our own fuel so that no local wood is used for our cooking purposes. We have a team of experienced and dedicated staff including the director and office managers who arrange your trip, expert guides and porters, and cooks to prepare your food. Our guides are accredited by the Hotel Management Technical Training Centre and are fluent in English.

We offer you a wide variety of different treks to suit both novices and experienced trekkers. Whether you have two days or two months to spend in the mountains, an interest in mountaineering, trekking, or nature study, we can arrange an itinerary to suit you. We have outlined a broad range of trekking possibilities in Nepal as well as other sightseeing activities and expeditions, such as rafting.

The Minimum Impact Code
Awareness and responsibility are the first thing to take on your trek. Your example affects the locals’ attitude toward their culture and environment. Therefore, please apply these rules not only to yourself, but also make them a condition of your trekking staff. Remind other visitors of the importance of respecting the environment.
 

CONSERVE THE FOREST
• Don't light campfires: Cook with kerosene, and take sufficient warn clothing.
• Choose lodges that use alternatives to wood for cooking and heating. To save fuel, order the same meal for all members of a group.
 

STOP POLLUTION
• Carry out what you carry in.
• Buy only what won't pollute, or carry it our. Purify water yourself instead of buying it bottled. Return batteries to your home country for proper disposal.
• Use toilets wherever possible. In the wild, stay at least 50m away from water sources, and bury your waste.
 

PROTECT WILDLIFE
• Don't disturb wildlife.
• Don't hurt or remove animals and plants.
• Don't buy items made from wildlife parts.
 

RESPECT PEOPLE AND CULTURE
• Adopt local custom: Speak Nepali and local language to the best of your ability. Don't wear revealing clothes. Save caresses for private moments.
• Respect privacy. Ask before photographing people or religious sites. Don't enter houses uninvited.
• Leave antiques where they belong.
• Discourage begging and encourage fair dealing.

Keep your eyes, ear and mind open: not only to learn from your hosts, but also to encourage right behaviour.
