Nepal Adventures

Nepal is a land of unparalleled scenic beauty and one of the most diverse geographical regions on earth. It contains an incredible variety of terrain in a relatively small area, ranging from the tropical lowlands of the “Terai” at about 300 ft above sea level to the summit of Mt. Everest at 29,035 ft (8850m)! What adds an even more interesting dimension to Nepal is the fact that its friendly people are from over 35 different tribal groups!

The objective of this trip is to trek in an off-the-beaten track region of Nepal where there is varied terrain of moderate difficulty, spectacular mountain views, interesting villages, and friendly local people who see few trekkers.

We avoid the major trekking routes and get to experience a very different side of Nepal! We try to include a visit to a staff member’s village to experience wonderful Nepalese hospitality and cross-cultural interaction. We continually research and choose different areas to make this trip as special as possible, so there is no pre-set itinerary, but you won’t be disappointed!

This trek follows the Barun Valley which contains some of the last remaining areas of pristine forests and alpine meadows in Nepal. From the bottom of the Arun Valley, near the start of the trek, the mountains rise from just 435m (1,430ft) above sea level to the lofty snow capped peak of Makalu at 8463m (27,760ft) within a distance of only 40km. The trek therefore passes through a wide diversity of ecosystems and cultures.
