Custom Nepal Trekking

• Encounter the Himalayas – Sanskrit for “Abode of Snows” – as only a guided private trek can allow.
• Follow classic routes to legendary destinations including Everest Base Camp and Annapurna Sanctuary.
• Meet Nepal’s warm Sherpa people and discover the traditions of their hospitable Buddhist culture.

Nepal is the world’s most renowned trekking destination, and for good reason. The sheer diversity of ecosystems, landscapes and cultures provides a collage for the traveler that any other country would be hard-pressed to match in such a condensed space. Above it all, the world’s highest peaks rise more than 5 miles into the air. The glacier-bound heights of the Himalayas are the big draw, but more intimate dimensions of travel on foot soon seduce: the lush rhododendron forest, bursting with hot pink blooms in spring. Buddhist temples perched atop rocky ridges, with prayers floating forth from spinning wheels. Villagers harvesting grain. This is the land of yaks and yetis, stupas and Sherpas, mountains and monasteries -- all of it waiting to be discovered at a gentle pace. Come, and set forth.
