Trekking in the Himalaya and other regions of Last Frontiers

Trekking is hiking through the high and low hills and to mountainous regions over an extended period of time, usually in the company of leader/Sirdar, guide, cook and porters or pack of animals. Trekkers rely on the local staff for path finding and in gaining knowledgeable ideas of the local people, their culture, religion and life style. For most part, trekking routes are well traveled by local people, but mostly unmarked with any signposts. There are few motor able roads through the Himalayas, so anyone who travels must walk.

You will usually cover 9-13 km per day (5-7 hrs on average). You will have enough time to stop whenever you wish to talk, photograph or just observe and admire the beauty of the culture and scenery around you.

This is one of the famous and the easiest trek in Nepal and has few uphill climbs of any significance. Trekking westwards there are many alternatives. A northern route presents a trek close to the mountains Manaslu (7945m.), Himalchuli, Boudha (6674m.) and a side trip to Bara Pokhari, a fine high altitude lake. The more direct southern route to Pokhara allows a visit to the ancient town of Gorkha with its large bazaar and fort. This route has the attraction of lower altitudes and avoids the extreme elevation gains/losses common to other treks in Nepal.

It is no doubt that Gorkha is the homeland of the famous Gurkha warriors, renowned worldwide for their courage and loyalty. This trek introduces you to Nepalese life in the central mountain area as you visit scores of villages clinging to terraced mountain slopes. The rugged landscape is divided by a multitude of high ridges and deep river valleys providing breathtaking views at every turn and ridge top.
