Organised Trek
 

The classic style of trek in Nepal is organized trek, which is also known as camping trek. In a organized trek, a team of guide, cook, sherpa, sardar and porters will accompany the trip. Porters carry all trekking equipments, food, fuel, and personal belongings, and cooks and assistant prepares hygienic meals. Trekkers carry only what they need personally during the day i.e water and other small items, they might need on the trail. At night, they are provided dining tents with tables and chairs, sleeping tents, separately and toilet tents  . They are also provided with mattresses and down sleeping bags, all of which are carried for them. The camp staff has their own tents and kitchen facilities A guide supervises the whole operation thoroughly for the success of the traveling.

A day in a Organized trek : In a typical Organized Trek, day starts around 6 a.m. with a cup of hot tea or coffee followed by a bucked of warm water for washing and cleaning. When you have cleansed, dressed and packed your duffel bag, just go to your waiting breakfast, leaving our staff to organize your tent and bags. Breakfasts are always big. A typical one would involve hot porridge and cereal or pancakes, eggs, toast, marmalade, honey, tea, hot chocolate or coffee. The trek starts around 7.30.and the kitchen staffs go ahead of the group. Staff packs all camping equipment and gears and the porters carry them to the next camping site. The trekkers should carry only personal belongings that they may need for the day. The Trekkers can decide on their own on time for viewing the beautiful landscape, taking photographs and resting or making a short pause. The walk to the lunch spot normally takes 3 hours. Cook and assistant serve hot lunch upon arrival. The afternoon walk takes about 3 to 4 hours to reach at the night camp. The evening meals are usually served around 6.30 p.m. in a mess tent in family style, lit with a pressurized lantern and furnished with table and camping tools.  After the dinner, the Sirdar will brief you about the following day’s program and retire you to your sleeping tents.

All food is prepared by excellent cooks who ensure high standards of hygiene and serve a combination of verities of continental and local dishes. As good health is our paramount concern, all meals are prepared to high standards. Enough food are carried for the entire outgoing. Fresh supplies of vegetables, eggs, meats etc are purchased locally wherever possible.

Tea-House Trek
 

 A teahouse or lodge is a locally run guesthouse. The most popular way to trek is to use local trekking lodges for accommodation and meals.  In this arrangement, overnight halts with dinner and breakfast will be in Tea-houses (Lodges) and lunches in local restaurants en-route.  Tea house treks are often quite nice, serving excellent food and providing many different services such as hot showers and laundry. Lodges in the hills provide a special meeting place for trekkers from around the world and have a good opportunity to see how people in the hills of Nepal live, work and eat.
 

 On our 'Tea-House Treks', all food and accommodation is part of your package. Porters carry all gear, and a guide travels with the group during the day and handles all the arrangements for meals and dealing with bureaucracy. It's hassle-free trekking with just a light daypack! In popular areas such as Annapurna, Everest and Lantang Region, there are many nice accommodations and one can trek with a bare minimum of equipment. Tours can be booked at any time and there is no minimum requirement to the number of people.

Trekking Season
 

Trekking in Nepal can be undertaken throughout the year depending on the region. The best time for trekking in Nepal is during spring (February through May) and autumn (September through November). Warm days and clear skies make these seasons favorable for trekking. Spring is particularly lovely as the mountain slopes are covered with beautiful and colorful flowers and still have plenty of high snow to enhance your photos. The temperature is quite moderate and the mountain views are excellent. In autumn one can expect better visibility, the air is fresh, the weather is perfect and that the Nepalese most important festivals (Dashain and Tihar) are marked during this season. The best season offering excellent weather and tantalizing mountain views.

However, December and January is also ideal for trekking, occasional snowfall and the air can be quite cold at higher elevations. Hence, it is ideal for trekking at lower elevations, generally below 3000 meters and offers tantalizing Mountain View. The monsoon season last for three months (i.e. June, July and August.), during this period, trekking is possible in the rain-shadow regions north of the Himalaya – like Mustang, Dolpo, Humble and the Jumla-Rara Lake regions of Nepal and of course the regions of Tibet.

Trekking Grades

Easy  : Trekking in altitude below 3000 m but entailing a lot of 'ups and downs' walking on mountain trails for 5 to 6 hours a day. It is possible however to design 'easier' three to four day treks with perhaps only three to four hours walking per day on request. These treks are suitable to family groups with younger children with limited time. This lower altitude treks often provide colorful horizons of a whole series of ranges

Moderate : Moderate trekking to altitudes average 4500m possibly involving side trips to higher elevations. Such treks begin to present more challenging to first time trekkers and are tougher than Easy Trek involving more walking up and down and sometimes slightly higher where will be rewarded with close –up views of big mountains and generally are of two weeks duration. The treks in these categories are still suitable for people of all ages although small children will probably find them too strenuous

Strenuous : Treks of a demanding nature, requiring all participants to be fit and in excellent health, often in remote alpine areas and sometimes reaching altitudes in excess of 5500m. These trips include a physical component with some mountains experience.  Trekking involves some steeper up and down on well-defined trails

Challenging : These treks are only for real adventures. The main component at this level is likely to be a long, high altitude trek; that requires physical and mental stamina. A high level preparation is essential before embarking on one of these adventures. Altitudes will often exceed 5,000m where the treks involve camping for relatively long period. Participants should have at least a basic knowledge of use of crampons and ice axes, rope climbing though first time climbers may be accepted on some of the so-called 'easy' routes on these peaks. Medical certificates are required prior to acceptance on any climbing treks
