Namaste! In Nepali it is a greeting meaning hello or welcome, and you are made very welcome in Nepal. This is a land of great friendliness, with many different groups of people and groups of mountains. This is the quintessential trekking landscape outside of the Monsoon season when clear skies and generally pleasant walking temperatures and conditions, make for some superb photographic opportunities. The level of service on these fully supported walks usually supercedes any other trek. Nepalis are generally so happy to please and eager to assist. There are of course economic reasons for this you might say, but anyone who has spent some time with, for example, the Sherpa people of the Khumbu will realize their canny sense of humour and friendliness. Like every other company, we work with a Nepali based ground operator, and we believe that ours is just about the best; with a policy for caring for its staff and looking after porters.

We offer five different tours in the country: ‘Nepal Everest Panorama’ and ‘Nepal Annapurna Panorama’ are multi-activity holidays where you can combine trekking with rafting and wildlife viewing. Short treks in either the Everest or Annapurna regions and the stay at our resort on the way back to Kathmandu provides a little relaxation and fabulous views. 'Annapurna Dhaulagiri' is a fine trek under the towering peaks of both mountain groups with the plunging Kali Gandaki Gorge in between.  ‘Annapurna Sanctuary’ is a classic trek into the inner bastions of the Annapurna Cirque. It gets you up to the base camps from where those classic ascents commenced in the 1950s –1970s. Echoes here from Maurice Herzog to Chris Bonnington. The views of individual peaks such as Dhalaugiri, Machupuchare and the Annapurnas are amazing! Talking of base camps brings us to another classic tour: ‘Everest Base Camp.’ A superb harder trek underneath ‘Sargamatha’ – The Mother Goddess – Mount Everest. If you climb the little peak of Kala Pattar you will even see the South Col.

‘Namaskaar!’
