About trek in Nepal
The two trekking areas of Annapurna and Everest complement each other perfectly. In both these regions we trek utilising comfortable lodge-based accommodation and this program highlights the unique physical and cultural diversity of this exceptional country. From Kathmandu we fly to Pokhara, in the Annapurna region, and begin our trek at Naya Phul in sub-tropical surroundings. We ascend through the terraced paddies and fields of wheat of the local Hindu and Buddhist villages, before passing through a beautiful forest of oak and rhododendron to emerge onto high open ridges that afford breathtaking views of both the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges.
In contrast, the Everest trek starts where the Annapurna trek leaves off, and after flying into Lukla, we are almost above the altitude reached on the Annapurna trek. The trek follows the Dudh Kosi valley passing through small settlements and pockets of pine and rhododendron forest to the Sherpa capital, Namche Bazaar. Here we experience the rugged terrain of this alpine region trekking in the heart of the mountains surrounded by towering snow-covered Himalayan peaks. From Namche we follow the prayer flags, mani walls and chortens of this Buddhist region, to Thyangboche Monastery, the highpoint of the trek which lies in the shadow of the world’s highest peak, Mount Everest.
