Our Lodge Treks Offer the Best of
Nepal adventure travelers Great
Routes and Comfortable Lodge Accommodation
in Nepal Himalayas. The development
of locally managed lodges along
the popular trekking trails in the
Annapurna, Everest and Langtang/Helambu
areas have resulted in an increasing
number of trekkers making use of
these facilities. In recent years
with the help of Government as well
non-Government agencies many of
these lodge owners have gone through
training programmes aimed at raising
the quality of services as well
as instilling environmental awareness.
For example in the Annapurna Sanctuary
and adjacent areas it is now regulation
for all lodge owners to use alternative
fuel (fuel other than fire wood
- kerosene, gas, electric or even
solar) for cooking and heating,
dispose of garbage properly and
adopt other eco-friendly measures.
Most lodges have all the basic requirements
for trekkers to stay overnight -
a dormitory, several private rooms,
an attached restaurant, toilet and
a shower room. The quality of food
offered may vary from lodge to lodge
but most serve simple and hygienic
meals. |

Treks has found it very attractive
for trekkers to use these lodges in
some of the routes instead of operating
camping style treks. One of the main
reason being that along these popular
routes almost every house offers bed
and meals and many camping trekkers
find it incongruous to camp near a
lodge and not be able to experience
the warmth and hospitality of the
friendly Nepali hosts. With larger
groups we reserve all the beds in
a lodge thus making sure that we have
the place to ourselves. If you have
an urge to trek in some of the most
beautiful places in Nepal, interact
and make friends with the local people
without having to sleep in a cold
and lonely tent, Lodge Trekking is
just the thing for you. |

DAY
ON TREK
Our Lodge-Treks are led by one
of our experienced local guide supported
by porters t o
carry luggage and equipment. All
our guides have undergone the trekking
guide training conducted by the
Department of Tourism of Nepal and
are registered and licensed by the
government. After packing your duffel
and day-pack a breakfast of porridge
/ muesli / cornflakes and biscuits
with tea/coffee is served. The day's
trek starts around 7.30 a.m. Porter
carry all luggage and equipment.
All you need to carry in your day-pack
are water bottle, rain/wind jacket,
camera and other small items you
may need on the trail. All trekkers
walk at their own pace accompanied
by the trek guide. With larger groups
there is a "lead" and
"sweep" sherpa providing
support throughout.
The morning's walk to the lunch
spot takes about three hours. Around
mid-day we usually stop for a simple
hot lunch at one of the way side
tea-houses. In the late afternoon
and evening you can relax, wash,
read or take a walk nearby. The
evening meal is served between 6
and 7 p.m. in the dining room attached
to the lodge. After dinner the guide
will brief trekkers on the next
day's hike.
Each day's hike is planned so that
trekkers have time to see, photograph
and explore the countryside. Anyone
who is healthy, fit, enjoys the
outdoors and hiking will qualify
to participate in our treks

TREK
GRADING (Trek Difficulty)
Grade 1 - Easy
Easy trekking, by Himalayan standards
is generally between 900m/3,000ft.
and 2,000m/6,500ft. There are
always plenty of 'ups and downs'
anywhere in the Himalaya and clients
need to be regular walkers to
get full enjoyment from their
experience. It is possible however
to design 'easier' three to four
day treks with perhaps only three
to four hours walking per day
on request.
Grade 2 - Moderate
Moderate trekking 900m/3,000ft.
and 3,000m/10,000ft. but possibly
involving side trips to higher
elevations.
Grade 3 - Difficult
Reasonably demanding trekking
at altitudes up to 4,000m/13,000ft.
with side trips to higher elevations.
Some treks included here will,
in part, be well away from villages
on ill- defined mountain trails.
Grade 4 - 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
5000m/18,000ft. Here we include
all Tibet trips primarily because
of the rigors of the climate and
overall altitude, varying between
Lhasa, at 3,700m/12,000ft., to
high pass crossing, by vehicle
or on foot in excess of 5,000m/16,000ft.
Alpine
Extremely demanding treks sometimes
in very remote areas on rough
terrain and perhaps including
( in Nepal) one or more of the
so called 'trekking peaks' - maximum
altitude, Mt. Mera at 6,461m/21,192ft.
Participants should have at least
a basic knowledge of use of crampons
and ice axes, 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.
