Sticky Notes

Adventure Sisters does the impossible! We are capable of organizing tours for physically handicapped people with special priority. Part of our income from all tours/treks goes to educating girl children from the mountains.
 
Trekking in Nepal
Photo: Adventure SistersWhether you begin your trek at a roadhead or fly into a remote mountain airstrip, a large part of it will be in the Middle Hills region at elevations between 500 and 3000 metres. In this region, there are always well-developed trails through villages and across mountain passes. Even at high altitudes there are intermittent settlements used during summer by shepherds, so the trails, though often indistinct, are always there. You can easily travel on any trail without the aid of ropes or mountaineering skills. There are rare occasions when there is snow on the trail, and on some high passes it might be necessary to place a safety line for your companions or porters if there is deep snow. Still, alpine techniques are almost never used on a traditional trek. Anyone who has walked extensively in the mountains has all the skills necessary for an extended trek in Nepal.

Though some treks venture near glaciers, and even cross the foot of them, most treks do not allow the fulfilment of any Himalayan mountaineering ambitions. Nepal 's mountaineering regulations allow trekkers to climb 18 specified peaks with a minimum of formality, but you must still make a few advance arrangements for such climbs. Many agents offer so-called climbing treks which include the ascent of one of these peaks as a feature of the trek. There are a few peaks that, under ideal conditions, are within the resources of individual trekkers. A climb can be arranged in Kathmandu if conditions are right, but a climb of one of the more difficult peaks should be planned well in advance.

This is because we travel as a self contained unit, carrying our food & camping gears, using the quite village trails leading through terraced rice paddies, magnificent forests and glacier valleys. Provide support staffs (Guide/Cook/Kitchen boy/Porters or Yaks)

Tea house or Lodge Treks: Some areas are so popular with trekkers that a network of lodges of teahouse has developed. Many even have electricity lodge treks are offered on the main trails of the Everest, Annapurana and Langtang regions of Nepal and are in populated areas. These treks include guides and porters or Yaks who carry your personal gear, leaving you to carry only a small dry pack. You are free to choose your meals from local menus.
