Introducing Trekking Trekking in Nepal Taking
part in a trekking holiday allows you access to remote areas and villages,
to the mountains and to a culture so different to our own, one that
has changed little over the years and whose customs have been passed
Guides and porters also accompany all of
our Lodge Treks. With food and accommodation being provided by the lodges
along the trail this allows us to offer very flexible services. For
small numbers and groups, and for those who just prefer, this offers
an alternative to camping. By employing Sherpa people in this way we are helping their economy and also upholding traditions that have developed over many years to give you the freedom to enjoy your surroundings, the culture and the people.

A typical day on trekWhile on trek your waking hours are determined by the sun. You will be woken not long after sun-up with what will become the familiar sound of the kitchen boy 'bed tea sahib' as a hot mug of tea is passed into the tent. After washing and packing kit bags breakfast will be ready and shortly afterwards we will be ready to start the day's walk. Camp is struck by the Sherpas and the porters and they may even be on the trail before we are. On average we walk about 5 - 7 hours each day, you have time to travel at your own pace, taking photographs and stopping at the tea shops along the way, and meeting the people, you will soon become familiar with the universal greeting of Nepal 'Namaste'. Lunch is cooked for us by our kitchen staff out on the trail giving you the opportunity to relax in the heat of the day, chatting with other trekkers and taking in the local scenery. After lunch another 2 - 3 hours brings us to our camp site where camp may well already be set up, or will be shortly after we arrive, again by the trek crew. You have time to relax and explore the local area before the three course evening meal. The mess tent will be big enough for us all and the evening meal is usually the social event of the day, time for swapping stories and experiences of the day, maybe also a visit to a local lodge. As the sun goes down so does the temperature and a warm sleeping bag beckons, usually about 8pm or 9pm.
