KANCHANJUNGA TREK
Kanchanjunga the third highest peak of the world, falls in complete wilderness. It was only opened in 1988 although people have trekked in the area in connection with mountaineering expeditions since the turn of the century. The trail takes you from the southeastern corner of Nepal at altitudes of just 70m to the base camp of Kanchenjunga, one of the greatest mountain masses in the world. It is one of Nepal’s least trekked areas and certainly one of the best. The foothills of Kanchanjunga is the home of Limbus and it borders the Indian state of Sikkim, so the circuit of the mountain is politically impossible. You can either trek to the north or south Kanchanjunga base camp or best alternative is to visit both South and North Kanchenjunga. This region remains technically restricted; your trek has to be arranged through a registered trekking agency and get a special permit. Also this trek is very strenuous so one needs to be physically fit.

Duration                         : 20-25 Days
Difficulty                         : Moderate/Demanding
Maximum elevation         :5140 m

MAKALU WITH NATURE
This is an outstanding trek in eastern Nepal. One of the bigger eight thousand expedition peaksin the Himalayas. The trek to Makalu Base Camp visits one of the most remote and unfrequented areas of Nepal. The long trek and unspoiled terrain makes this trek a classic in its own right. There are spectacular views of rugged Himalayan peaks, including Mt. Makalu (8463m), fifth highest in the world, Mt. Chamlang (7319 m) and Mt. Baruntse (7129m). Within about 40 kms, these high peaks plunge downward to 670m. at the Arun river. This provides stunning contrasts, where high waterfalls cascade into deep gorges, craggy rocks rise from lush green forests, and colourful flowers bloom beneath white snow peaks. This unique landscape shelters some of the last pristine mountain ecosystems on earth. Rare species of animals and plants flourish in diverse climates and habitats, relatively undisturbed by man. In Makalu-Barun National Park are some 3000 species of flowering plants, 440 species of birds, and 75 species of mammals, including the endangered clouded leopard, red panda and musk deer. This remarkable bio diversity is considered to be of global significance, and provides a living laboratory for international scientific research. Its a long trek up the Arun Kosi, then climb over a high pass into the remote Barun Valley, protected as Nepal’s newest national park. A rough trail leads past yak pastures and glaciers to the foot of Makalu. This trek goes high up to 5000m. One has to be physically fit, as this trek is graded 4.

MUSTANG THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM

Mustang, an ancient Himalayan Kingdom, is a paradise steeped in the richness of historical, cultural, topographical and archaeological environments. It is perched on the Himalayan world and was opened to trekkers under special rules & regulation just a couple of years ago. Due to its unique geographical phenomena Mustang district has become the fervent target of many tourists. Most of the people in this region practices Tibetan culture. Inside the walled city of Lo Manthang are some of the largest Tibetan Buddhist gompas in Nepal. Generally a trek to Mustang is hard because of high altitude, exposed terrain and continual strong winds. This route, almost treeless, barren landscape, steep rocky trail up and down the hill and an eye-catching panoramic views of Mt. Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Nilgiri and several other magnificent peaks, makes this region a true Shangila of Nepal. As the trekking trail in this region passes through high altitude, exposed terrain and continual strong winds, one has to be be physically fit to undertake this trip.

DOPLO
Dolpo is located inside the shy-phoksundo National Park of mid-western Nepal, behind the Dhaulagiri massif, towards the Tibetan plateau. Cut off by a series of very high passes, closed by snow most of the year, Dolpo remains a truly isolated corner of Nepal. Time has stood still here for centuries, as the inhabitants of Tibetan stock continue to live, cultivate and trade the way they have done since time immemorial. The finally preserved Eco-system encompasses a wild and wonderful variety of plants and wildlife, including the blue sheep and leopard. A trek through Dolpo is an experience not easily forgotten.

Maximum elevation         : 4095 m

MANASLU
Another less frequented trek, but otherwise this trek has always been the domain of the mountaineering expedition. Manaslu (8,156 m) was attempted by Japanese expeditions every year from 1952-1956 when the first ascent was made. Manaslu came to be known as Japanese Mountain. This one a circuit around the eight highest mountain in the world Manaslu is geographically spectacular and culturally fascinating. Though crossing the Larkya La is not that difficult, but the trek around Manaslu is harder than most in Nepal. The trail is rough and steep and it often literally hangs on a bluff high above the river. We do not suggest to some one having slightest tendency towards acrophobia. Also the trek is remote and has no rescue facilities or opportunities to bail out if you are tired. A rough trail heads up to the Burhi Gandaki through wild Gurung country to Nupri. Nupri, inhabitat by Tibetan immigrants, provides a fantastic mountain views and crossing the Larkya La is one of the most dramatic of any pass in the Himalaya. This area still falls on the restricted area and has to go according to HMG rules and regulation.

Duration                         : 20 Days
Difficulty                         : Moderate/Demanding
Maximum elevation         : 5100m
Season                            : October to November, March to April

RARA TREK
Rara lake is a good destination for a trek in western Nepal. The route is very much off the beaten track and affords glimpses of cultures and scenery very different from the rest of Nepal. Rara is a clear, high altitude lake ringed with pine, spruce and juniper forests and snow capped Himalayan peaks. The trek to Rara is somewhat strenuous. Whereas Karnali is Nepal's longest and largest river, the Karnali, springs forth from the base of Mt. Kailash in Tibet, the center of the universe for both the Buddhist and Hindu religions. Flowing south into Nepal, it forms the major drainage system of the western districts. The Karnali is one of the finest BIG volume river trips in the world, a classic expedition into Nepal's remote, unpopulated "wild west".


ROLWALING ADVENTURE
Rolwaling is the east-west valley below Gauri Shankar (7145 m). This is an isolated and culturally diverse area. There are several mysterious stories about this valley through which the forefathers of the present-day Sherpa's once came. It is here that the notorious and celebrated Yeti is supposed to make his home. Entire research expeditions so far have failed to trace it out. The trail leads you through a wealth of variety, on one hand through Tamang and Chettri villages with their typical terraced fields, on the other through dense, gloomy primeval forests and over broad ridge backs with wonderful views. Rolwaling and Tesi Lepcha are technically closed to foreigners but by buying a climbing permit of one peak i.e. Ramdung you will be explore the richness of this area and if interested you can try to summit the peak.
