7-Day ANNAPURNA
GETAWAY Camping Trek. This special Getaway trek involves 8 days of hiking and camping along, little visited areas of the Annapurna foothills. Our journey begins with a drive to Birethanti on the Pokhara-Baglung road. As we begin our trek, we will marvel at the maze of terraces, carved into the hillsides, that make up most of rural Nepal. Our trail winds through forested slopes, interspersed with cultivated terraces, with magnificent views of Machapuchare (Fish Tail Peak) and the entire Annapurnas. Once we climb higher, we pass by the typical slate-roofed villages, on hill-slopes overlooking the mighty Kali Gandaki valley. The giant Dhaulagiri Himal dominate the skyline. Now our trail winds though a magical forest of giant rhododendron and oak trees - far away from the crowded backpacker’s ‘apple pie’ trail. As a fitting finale to this trek we will make a dawn ascent of Poon Hill to enjoy one of the most spectacular mountain-scape on Earth. As the sun touches the snowcapped summits, the Himalayan giants, Dhaulagiri (8,167m/26,788ft.) and Annapurna (8,091m/26,538ft.), along with a maze of other peaks, slowly begin to appear, like magic, before our eyes. In the end our trail drops down into the Kali Gandaki river valley near the town of Baglung. A rewarding trek that can be enjoyed by every lover of nature and beautiful landscape. During October-November and March-May this trek hooks up with a 3-day white water raft trip down the Kali Gandaki river - perhaps one of finest white water trips in the Himalaya. For more information on this raft trip see Nepal River Raft Trips (or write to us). Easy to moderate trekking and camping between 900m/3000ft to 2,800m/9,200ft with day hiking to 3,200m/10,500ft. Fully supported trek with all meals and equipment led by experienced local guide. All equipment and luggage will be carried by porters. Clients carry day pack only and walk at an easy pace. ITINERARY: Group Departure Days: COST: 02-04 pax = US$ 400 per person 05-09 pax = US$ 350 per person 10 + pax = US$ 300 per person Single Tent Supplement: US$ 50 per tent.

15-Day ANNAPURNA ENCOUNTER Camping Trek This Getaway Special branches off the popular trekking routes and heads into beautiful unspoiled wilderness surrounded by stunning mountain scenery. This trail is a naturalist’s paradise, back-droped by incredible mountain scenery. Wildlife of this area include the Himalayan Tahr (a large goat-like creature), the Pikka (a mammal similar to a guinea pig), and the national bird of Nepal - the multi-coloured Impeyan Pheasant. For the bird-watcher this trek presents a variety of species with maximum numbers available during the spring (March-May). Two Himalayan giants, Dhaulagiri (8,167m/26,788m) and Annapurna I (8,091m/26,538ft) dominate the skyline. The Kali Gandaki River cuts between these two mighty peaks, forming the deepest gorge on the earth’s surface, some 7,000m /23,000ft deep! Our camp-sites, high on the ridges beneath Annapurna South (7,237m/23,737ft) offer some of the finest panoramic views available in the Annapurna region. Moderate to difficult trekking, and camping, from 1,000m/3,000ft to 3,870m/12,700ft and optional hiking to 4,500m/15,000ft.

13-Day MUSTANG MYSTIQUE Camping Trek Trek to Nepal’s northern frontier with Tibet to experience the mystique of the fabled Kingdom of Mustang - yes there is still a King of Mustang!

Here we find fascinating villages, Buddhist monasteries and medieval forts set amidst a scenery of the high Himalaya and Tibetan Plateau. Flying from Pokhara up the Kali Gandaki valley we land at Jomsom - the gate way to Mustang. From here we start our 10-day loop visiting Lo Manthang, the walled capital of Mustang and the famous cave temples at Luri, along with many monasteries and villages.

25-Day DESTINATION DOLPO Camping Trek This trek, to Nepal’s remote and seldom seen wild west, is possibly one of the best long treks in the Himalaya. This follows the route taken by Peter Matthiessen and immortalized in his famous book The Snow Leopard. The Dolpo area was also the area where Rodney Jackson, a naturalist, conducted his study on the elusive snow leopards which became the subject of a National Geographic article and a book - Vanishing Tracks. This trek offers one of the remotest terrain, natural grandeur and Buddhist villages few westerners have yet visited. Starting by following the tropical Mayagdi Valley the trail crosses several high passes before getting to Tichurong and the Buddhist enclave of Dho and then to the famous Phoksumdo Lake (near where Matthiessen spotted his snow leopard) before swinging back to Dunai and ending with the flight out of Juphal to Nepalgunj and Kathmandu. A trek for those looking for some serious trekking. Moderate to rigorous trekking and camping through areas, rarely visited by tourist, in altitudes ranging from 915m/3,000ft to a maximum of 4341m/14,240ft. Involves four pass crossings from 3965m/13,000ft to 5,064m/16,610ft. Fully supported trek with all meals and equipment led by experienced local guide. All equipment and luggage will be carried by porters. Clients carry day pack only and walk at an easy pace.

22-Day MAGNIFIQUE MANASLU Camping Trek In diversity of terrain, mountain views and Himalayan cultures this trek is a perfect alternative to the very popular, but crowded, Annapurna Circuit. This newly opened trek, almost untouched by tourists, circling the entire Manaslu Himal (8,100m/26,658ft) offers a chance to comprehensively explore the full range of Nepal’s natural and cultural diversity. We trek through lowland Hindu villages with terraced fields and deep river gorges, flat roofed stone houses of Tibetan villages, prayer walls and monasteries, glaciers, high altitude lakes, and stunning, close-up views of some of the highest mountains on Earth. Hidden behind Manaslu are some of the unexplored and unknown Tibetan villages that have seen little changed since medieval times. Moderate to rigorous trekking, and camping, through Nepal’s newest trek, between 1,220m/4,000ft and 4,375m/14,350ft with one pass crossing of 5,213m/17,100ft at the Larkya La. The best substitute for the more popular Annapurna-circuit trek. Fully supported trek with all meals and equipment led by experienced local guide. All equipment and luggage will be carried by porters. Clients carry day pack only and walk at an easy pace. ITINERARY: GROUP DEPARTURE DATES (ex Kathmandu): 12 APR 2001 12 OCT 2001 02 NOV 2001 12 APR 2002 12 OCT 2002 02 NOV 2002 Private departures are also available upon request.

This trek approaches the famous Everest Area from
the little explored Arun River Valley. The Arun is well know as
a treasure- trove of Himalayan fauna and flora. Many little know
plants, animals and birds have been discovered here as recently
as a decade ago. We will trek up this culturally and naturally rich
area starting with a spectacular flight to Tumling Tar airstrip
set in the foothills below the Makalu and Kanchanjunga Massifs.
Veering westwards we cross the Hinku Khola to join the 'Everest
Trail' near Lukla. From Lukla we will have ample time to acclimatize
and to explore the fabled villages of Namche, Khunde and Khumjung
- home to the indomitable Sherpas of Nepal. As a grand finale to
this legendary trek we will make a dawn assent of Kala Patthar for
spectacular vistas of the highest mountains on Earth, including
Mt. Everest, towering around us. Lodge-Treks
