Nepal is a trekker's paradise. More than 85% of the
total population live in rural areas. Although transport
and communications have brought about great changes
in the lives of the people, many still live a simple
rural life. One need not be a mountaineer or experienced
walker to trek in different parts of the country.
Various tours of trekking are offered, from one to several
days. When Colonel Jimmy Robes opened Mountain Travel
in 1955, his travel company began the history of trekking
in Nepal. The concept was similar to the expedition
approach used by mountaineers, with guides, porters
& tents. Since 80’s the infrastructures for
trekking have developed to a very high standard. Currently,
in Nepal, two kinds of trekking are popular- Teahouse
or Lodge trekking and Tent Trekking.
|
| |
What
is Teahouse Trekking? And how it is organized?
Teahouse trekking is guided walking and very popular in
the well-developed tourist regions including Annapurna,
Everest and Langtang – Helambu, where western cuisine
as well Nepalese food (Dalbhat) is available. Overnight
accommodation is in good, clean guest houses, lodges and
hotels. |
| |
What
is Camping Trekking, and how it is operated?
A camping trek is fully organized
and supported, with a team of guides, cooks, sherpas
and porters to accompany you. Our porters carry all
the trekking gear, food, fuel and personal belongings.
Our cooks prepare hot meals. Trekkers need only carry
a small bag as required for the day. At night, tents
for dining, sleeping and ablutions tents are provided
and set up. Also mattresses and down-filled sleeping
bags, tables and seating.
In a typical camping trek, we start the day around 6
a.m. with a cup of hot tea. You are then provided with
a bowl of warm water for washing. Then trekkers enjoy
breakfast before leaving camp. The trek begins around
7.30 - 8 a.m.
Trekkers can set their pace for pausing and sightseeing
and the walk to the lunch spot will normally take 3
hours. On arrival, you are served hot lunch. In the
afternoon, after walking for another 3 to 4 hours, you
arrive at the next camp around 5 p.m. Tea & snacks
are served while our staff readies the camp. Dinner
time is around 6/7 p.m. in the dining tent, lit with
lanterns and comfortably furnished. The food is healthy,
wholesome and hygienically prepared. |
