Thanks to the highest mountains in the world – the Himalayas – Nepal offers some of the best trekking opportunities in the world. Thanks to the built-in infrastructure of loggias – mountain teahouses and restaurants – practically anyone can go here „easily“. this does not mean that you will not find super challenging and abandoned treks here, where you will not even meet a living animal. Come take a look at our selection

Trek around Annapurnas

The most colorful trek in Nepal

Rating:
| Altitude: 5 416 m / 17 769 ft

If you want to see virtually all types of landscape in Nepal during one long walk, there is no other choice but to walk a nice trek around the ridge of Annapurnas. Picturesque canyon of river Marsyangdi with many waterfalls, amazing terraced systems of rice fields, glaciated giants of three eight thousand high massifs, almost moonscape of Tibet, the deepest valley in the world Kali Gandaki, rhododendron misty forests, typical villages – all this can be seen here. In addition, in the high season is very stable weather. What else to wish then to walk in beautiful landscape with the sun over your head.   continue reading

Trek in Upper Mustang

Forbidden kingdom

Rating:
| Altitude: 4 170 m / 13 681 ft

Trek in Upper Mustang takes you into the landscape of the upland plateau at an altitude of over 3,000 meters above sea level. The entire area had until recently a partial autonomy, which was canceled in 2008. But the access is still regulated by the need to obtain (and pay for) the entry permit and have the Nepalese guide. Upper Mustang is located around the river Kali Gandaki. On its banks are even today many wonderful fossils of plants and animals. The views of Himalayan peaks dominated with the ridge of Annapurnas and Dhaulagiri will accompany you throughout the entire trek. And Buddhist monasteries and buildings give the whole journey a pleasant spiritual dimension.   continue reading

Trek through Mugu Himal to Dolpa

Or how to walk 333km in 23 days and climb 25km

Rating:
| Altitude: 2 373 m / 7 785 ft

We went on a trek in November 2015, after a devastating earthquake. The route led through MUGU HIMAL, around Lake RARA, to the kingdom of DOLPO, a visit to SHEY GOMPY, around Crystal Mountain and back around Lake PHOKSUNDO. A total of 333 kilometers, a total elevation gain of 25 kilometers in 23 days. There were eight of us trekkers, 10 Nepalese porters, a guide and a cook. Our group carried everything with them, from tents, stoves, fuel and especially food. The trek began with a domestic flight from Kathmandu to Nepalgnj and the following day a flight to Jumla. continue reading

Manaslu Circuit trek + Tsum Valley

19-day trek around Manasl

Rating:
| Altitude: 5 075 m / 16 650 ft

From all the beautiful treks in Nepal, we chose the circuit around Manaslu 8 163m (Ghost Mountains and the eighth highest mountain in the world), which lies in a less visited tourist area, until recently banned border area with Tibet. The road is geographically beautiful and culturally fascinating. The inhabitants of the upper Buri Gandaki are direct descendants of Tibetan immigrants who settled here in the early 17th century. Thanks to that, the language, clothes and customs are exclusively Tibetan. The pearl of the trek is a five-day visit to Tsum Valley – a valley opened since 2010. We went to the trek at the end of October to mid-November and the weather was absolutely luxurious. continue reading

Langtang Trek

The nearest alpine trek from Kathmandu

Rating:
| Altitude: 4 944 m / 16 220 ft

Langtang Trek is one of the most popular treks in Nepal. Thanks to its relative accessibility (by bus from KTM) and length (only about 7 trekking days), even those who have only about two weeks of time to Nepal can go there. The trek leads through the Langtang Khola river valley and from the lush vegetation it takes you to the alpine landscape of ice peaks and weathered hills. There are plenty of loggias along the way, so you don't have to lug camping equipment with you continue reading

Rating:
| Altitude: 4 433 m / 14 544 ft

I would like to introduce you to our expedition to the remote part of Nepal to the foot of the API HIMAL mountain (7132m) and the subsequent journey of tourists not visited by the Far West Nepal area. Our expedition had 9 members, 10 local porters, one chef and a guide. The almost month-long journey began with a domestic flight to Dhangadi near the Indian border, followed by a 20-hour bus ride on winding, dangerous roads in the mountains. continue reading
