NEPAL
The Everest and Annapurna regions in Nepal are more than just climbing and trekking locations, they are places where you can have a life changing experience and some see it as a journey close to achieving 'paradise'. Located in Nepal, these regions are in a world of their own with vast glaciers, icefalls, the highest mountains, deepest valleys, precarious settlements, and hardy people challenging the harshest conditions thrown at them by nature in the thin air of high altitude. By taking an adventure in the Himalayas you have a chance to start to understand and experience the lifestyle endured and enjoyed by these fabulous people.
Trekking has been the leading activity of tourists in Nepal and thousands take to the Himalayas, some doing a few days of hiking while others take on a month long trek through valleys and high mountain passes. Two of the most popular trekking regions are the Everest and Annapurna where many different trails can be followed while the other popular treks are in the Langtang and Kanchenjunga regions. The most challenging is the Great Himalayan Trail, an extensive trail system that covers Nepal from Humla and Darchula in the west to Kanchenjunga in the east. The diversity of trekking trails in Nepal cannot be found in any other part of the world.
Towering high above Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan are the majestic Himalayan Mountains, home to the highest and most magnificent peaks on earth. To the people of the region, these mountains are sacred. Most know of Everest, the highest peak on the planet. A peak conquered for the first time in 1953 by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa as part of the British expedition. But to the Nepalese, Everest is Sagarmatha, Goddess of the Sky and to Tibetans she is Chomolungma, Goddess mother of the world. In this region alone you will find ten of the 14 highest, 8,000 metre+ mountains in the world. These are the lands of Buddhists and Hindus. Where all is Sacred. The Himalayas are lands of Temples and Monasteries, Prayer Flags and Mani stones, Chortens and Stupas. In this region of the Himalayas, wherever you go, the mountains and the Buddhist religion are as one. To visit the Himalayas is an experience like no other. One never to be forgotten. A place that will forever entice you to return.​
