This splendid Everest Base Camp Drive In Drive Out Trek , which follows the footsteps of the earliest climbers and trekkers, doesn’t have the internal flights. It is a perfect fit for those who want to avoid the famous Lukla flights. Since no flights are involved and a 4WD drive is taken, we don’t have to worry about the unexpected bad weather which usually hampers the Lukla flights. As we start the trek from lower altitude than Lukla and have many days before we reach Everest Base Camp, this trek is best from acclimatization standpoint. We start the trip from Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, in a 4WD. The 4WD goes through a paved road until Salleri which is for 8 to 9 hours of the total drive. Beyond Salleri, it is dirt road until the day’s destination of Jubing which takes about 3 to 4 hours to reach. It is the starting point of our trek and we begin our journey to Everest here. In this multi-day trek, we will pass through Namche Bazaar (the Sherpa capital), Tengboche Monastery (the largest in the region), Dingboche, Lobuche, Gorakshep and finally reach Everest Base Camp. This is the closest we get to Mt Everest without mountaineering equipment. There is an optional hike to Kala Patthar, the highest point of the trek. And then it is a downward trek all the way to Jubing and a long ride to Kathmandu. This trek is operated only in dry seasons from October 10 to December and from January to May. It is because the road from Salleri to Jubing isn’t paved and it gets affected by the monsoon rains, making the road impossible to pass by vehicles.

After the mountain has been climbed, we return by a direct route across a dramatic ridge to Lukla and the flight to Kathmandu. The weather in the Himalayas is unpredictable.

The trip starts from Kathmandu where you will spend a day exploring its heritage sites, which are Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhnath Stupa and Bhaktapur Durbar Square. They all are listed on UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites. We then take a tourist bus to Pokhara. This city of Lakes is a trekker’s hub. Next day, the Annapurna Base Camp Trek in Nepal starts from Hile and we walk towards Poon Hill. Poon Hill offers the best views of the mighty Annapurna Range. Then, we progress towards the Annapurna Base Camp, enjoying the spectacular mountainscape and the massive Himalayas.

Nar Phu valley trek is one of the rare and privileged trek in the restricted region of Nar-Phu valley. Lying on the most remote side of Manang, the access to this beautiful place is provided only with a purchased permit. During the winter season these areas are completely filled with snow thus the trek and exploration is only possible during the other seasons. The two valleys of Nar and Phu are the main highlights along with the canyons, the dense deep forests, the waterfalls, suspension bridges, the two famous passes Kangla Pass and Thorong La Pass and none other than the Himalayan ranges. The trip begins with the exploration and sightseeing around the UNESCO world heritage sites in Kathmandu valley. The trek starts on the third day from Jagat. The trails are rough, rugged, winding yet the sceneries captivate the trekker throughout the journey. The Buddhist monasteries, chortens, the prayer flags along the trail makes one feel like traveling through the Tibetan region. The trek also takes us to the Muktinath temple. It is believed that a person gets salvation upon visiting the temple. The final scenic flight to Pokhara allows one to enjoy the view of the Himalayan ranges and the beautiful Pokhara valley. The last day at Pokhara can be utilized by sightseeing around the various lakes and used to rest and relax. Since the normal Annapurna Circuit has been easily accessed by motorable roads, Nar Phu Valley trek can be a good replaceable trail to enjoy the trek along the countryside of Nepal.

Since it opened to foreign trekkers in 1977, the Annapurna Circuit Trek has become renowned as one of the most spectacular trekking routes in the world with lush green valleys and fascinating villages that offer impressive snow-capped views of the white Himalayas. Starting from less than 1,000 meters, it gives us a chance to explore the Himalayas from bottom to top and from many different angles and perspectives. This three week trek starts right from Syange which goes along the Marshyangdi River, with great views of Manaslu and Himal Chuli to the east. This magnificent trek leads you to the fine village, inhabited by a wide diversity of people from different ethnic groups, offering spectacular and majestic views of the Himalayas. Continuing to the north of the main Himalayan range to the high and dry Tibetan Plateau, the scenery is equally breathtaking. The highest point of the Annapurna Circuit is the Thorong La Pass at the top of the valley at 5,416 m. Due to the difficulties of crossing the pass, the circuit is usually walked in a counter-clockwise direction. Traveling clockwise the longer ascent and shorter descent from west to east is too much for many people to manage in one day. As we descend to the west at Muktinath, from the pass we continue to the barren Tibetan like village of the Kali Gandaki – the world’s deepest gorge, passes between the giant Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountains. After you cross the Thorong La Pass from Manang to Muktinath, we head to Tatopani for hotsprings and climb Poon Hill before descending to Pokhara. Update: The construction of the roads in Annapurna has affected the trekking in some places. The roads aren’t as busy as the highways and not all trekking is done on the roads but we want to avoid them as much as we can and make your experience better. So, we have changed our routes where it is possible. To reach Manang, our itinerary goes via Upper Pisang and Ngawal via natural trails. And, to reach Jomsom from Muktinath, our itinerary goes via a mountain pass called Lubra Pass. At Jomsom to Tatopani section, the road is busier than any other place and it is unavoidable. So we have kept a local shared 4WD drive which takes 5 hours and saves you 1 day.

Tilicho Lake at 5,200 m collects the glacial melt of the entire northern slopes of Annapurna and Thorong Peak. It is claimed to be the highest located lake in the world. We will leave Kathmandu on a private 4WD vehicle to Syange. The drive lasts for 7 or 8 hours depending on the road condition and the traffic. The treking starts from Syange which goes along the Marshyangdi River, with great views of Manaslu and Himal Chuli to the east. This magnificent trek leads you to the fine villages inhabited by a wide diversity of people from different ethnic groups, offering spectacular and majestic views of the Himalayas. We have customized this route as it is basically the same as Annapurna Circuit. From Manang instead of taking the valley north to Tanki Manang and Yak Kharka, this route goes to the main valley to the west and passes through the Khangshar Village and reaches Tilicho Lake. Then we travel to Yak Kharka and cross Thorong La Pass at the elevation of 5,416 m. After the pass, we head down to Muktinath and then to Jomsom from where a 30-minute scenic flight takes us to the Pokhara. From Tilicho Lake we also have the option of crossing the challenging Moesokanta La Pass to Jomsom instead of traveling to the Thorong La Pass but additional equipment including tents are required.

Khopra Danda trek is a newly introduced trekking trail in the Annapurna region. This trek offers the same stunning views and sceneries of the Annapurna regions as the other treks of the Annapurna region does.

This trek is suitable for trekkers who are here with their families having children or older members as the trails are made properly and are easy to walk on. If you are looking for something with short and easy hike offering you the best view possible with less fewer crowds, Khopra Danda trek might fulfill your request.

Trekkers who have done this trek have stated that this trek is one of the best viewpoint trek in western Nepal. In this trek the trail passes through densely forested path filled with rhododendrons, oaks, bamboos, and pines. Languor monkeys are common to see in this trail as well. The routes in this trek offers us with the most amazing views of everything Nepal has to offer from the whole Annapurna region and other beautiful mountains to rural villages and rice fields. Khayer Lake is probably the most beautiful lake that you will see in this trek.

The Tsum valley lying in the northern part of Manaslu was a restricted region until 2008. The trekking route and trails has been discovered not long ago which makes this region raw, undiscovered and worth traveling to. Tsum valley was once a part of Tibet which is why the religion, art, lifestyle, monasteries, prayer flags all portray the Tibetan culture. This valley is completely different from all the trekking routes as one can find variation not only in lifestyle and culture but also in vegetation, geography and landscapes. During the trek a trekker can realize the sub-tropical region slowly changing into semi-arid region, the change in climate and the change in weather as well. The trip to Tsum Valley begins with the sightseeing in the UNESCO world heritage sites in Kathmandu and by driving to Machha Khola the next day. Machha Khola will be the starting point of our trek. Following the trail, we witness beautiful rhododendron forests, pine forests, conifer forests, and various waterfalls along the way. The view of the Himalayas hide and seeks time and again throughout the trail. We also visit monasteries like Rachen Gompa, Mu Gompa etc. and explore the Tibetan culture and traditions. Some of the mountains that can be witnessed during the trek includes Ganesh Himal, Sringi Himal, and Boudha Himal ranges. This region is less exposed thus is a less-touristy area which makes the trails unbeaten, the Gompas unexplored and the stories unheard.

Trekking around Manaslu circuit offers quite a unique opportunity to experience a reasonably untouched region of Nepal. This region sees few trekkers, which makes the visit here more exclusive and unspoiled. Manaslu, open for trekking since 1991, provides spectacular beauty along the border of Nepal and Tibet. It is now a controlled trekking route, allowing organized trekking group’s special permits to gain entry into this region to venture round its spectacular Manaslu circuit. Manaslu has a unique environment, which is exceptionally rich in biodiversity that has made this region one of the finest tourist destinations of Nepal for many years. The majestic Himalayan ranges in this area consist of cultural diversities and natural scenery with high altitude romantic glacier lakes and fascinating flora and fauna. All features of this region, have made it as one of the most attractive places of Nepal. The Manaslu trekking route is less crowded and provides the basic facilities to the trekkers. The trekkers get to eat the local eateries and accommodate in the most rudimentary spaces which gives them the insight of the local village life of Nepal. This is also one of the reason that makes the trekking in this area pristine and worthwhile.
