Key features of trekking in Nepal

Shelters lodges

Travelling along the main trekking routes you don't need to carry a tent and food, you only need a sleeping bag. Every 3-4 hours, and sometimes more frequently, on a track meet lodges is a small mountain huts where you can stay overnight, order food and take a shower. For the most part, the lodges are far from glamorous and European comfort - a tiny room with plywood walls and facilities. But prices please - from 2 to 5 dollars per night. Sometimes, in the midst of the tourist season lodges are overcrowded. But don't worry - our instructors know the most respectable shelters and in advance for 1-2 days ahead, book them in designated groups.

Power on the track.

Thanks to an abundance of restaurants on the route there is no need to carry food with you. Food + several intermediate caetani cost on average over $ 20 a day. The instructor will help you understand the local menu and organizes the reception of orders in the group.

Sherpa carriers.

For trekking in Nepal do not have a lot of things - it's easy to "invest" in 10-12 kg of baggage. But if you want to go quite so easily, or plan to take lots of photos and drag a bunch of equipment, it is about 15 dollars a day you can hire a porter (porter). He will carry your Luggage (up to 20kg) from night to night, and you will only have a light backpack (documents+warm jacket+camera). You can get one porter for two.

Popular trekking routes in the Himalayas, Nepal.

To the heart of Annapurna is a very interesting and at the same time easy trekking to Annapurna base camp. On the way we pass all climatic zones - from the rainforest to Alpine meadows and glaciers. This tour is suitable for people with minimal Hiking experience. I highly recommend to start your tour of Nepal it is with this track.

Everest base camp - difficult route, recommended for those who already have some climbing experience. Newcomers here. Although the trail on the way to Everest excellent, walking is not difficult, but because of the prolonged stay at high altitude are likely to develop altitude sickness (headache, nausea, cold, shortness of breath, frantic pulse, eternal weakness). But despite all the dangers, it is trekking to Everest base camp is the most popular route in Nepal.

Introduction to Nepal - extremely lightweight utility for those who want to admire the Himalayas are not getting too high in the mountains. Small trekking in the Annapurna region (the highest point of the route is very simple trehtysyachnik Pun hill), and then a trip to the jungles of Chitwan reserve. Here and pensioners and parents with children.

Everest + lake Gokio is even more complex and lengthy option of trekking to Everest. Includes visit to the valley Gokio, climbing to the top of Gokio-Ri (m), by storm complex pass of Cho La (m). In the end often enough time to for a day to go to the jungles of Chitwan, to warm up after the eternal cold of the glaciers.

trek around the Annapurna Trek around the Annapurna - Includes storm pyatitysyachnika pass, and therefore more difficult than trekking to Annapurna base camp. But this route gives you the opportunity to see the archaic Alpine villages and Buddhist monasteries, to visit at the gate of the mysterious Kingdom of Mustang, see grazing yaks. In short, feel themselves in Tibet :)
