Himalayan Hilltreks offers you the hills of Nepal, that legend-shrouded Kingdom in the clouds. Indeed, not very far beyond the outskirts of Kipling's fabled Kathmandu, Nepal awaits you, still untouched, unspoiled, merely because the rugged countryside has, thus far, resisted the advance of modern communications. A day, nay a few hours on foot, will take you to the grandeur of the mountains, to a serene medieval countryside, to the picturesque ruins of feudal palaces and forts, through verdant splendour of rice paddies and cool, green forest to the warmth and friendliness of the simple Nepalese folk.
Himalayan Hilltreks specialises in catering to the individual, the couple, the small party of friends of family, school parties, the odd group. Treks are specially tailored to the needs of our clientele. Our guides, well versed in the lore of the Himalayas, escort and take care of you. For the disabled, ponies with special saddles are provided so that they may share the experiences of their physically better-off companions.
Himalayan Hilltreks arranges all-inclusive treks which means we supply you with everything you need to make your trek comfortable. This includes all camping equipment: tents, mattresses, Sherpas to make and break camp, cooks to prepare delicious camp meals and guides to attend, liase and assist.
For the more adventurous set, we have the lodge-trekking concept: carry your own pack or share a porter with a friend, go accompanied with a guide, stay and eat at wayside inns along the better-known trails -- Annapurna, Everest, Langtang or Helambu. Accomodation and meals are rather basic, share a room or bed down in a dormitory, meals of rice and lentils, curried vegetables. But it's one helluva lot of fun and a great experience, actually living with the local folk.
There is no age limit for trekking: If you are healthy, you'll be fine. No need to be a climber or mountaineer. A little walking practice at home before you set out is conditioning enough. See your Doc before you come and get yourself insured against accident, sickness and possible evacuation by helicopter since you will be trekking in remote and high mountains.
If you let us know what sort of trek you'd prefer, the time you have on hand, we shall be happy to make recommendations, work out a few special itineraries tailored to your taste and send them for your selection.
We do sometimes accept last-minute bookings but prefer these made ahead of your arrival to enable us do a proper job of organising your trek.
We also take care of hotel accomodations, airport arrival and departure services, local sightseeing and rafting arrangements, excursions to jungle lodges and mountain resorts. Just indicate your preferences or budget.
We're available on telephone: 977-1-520609/610 or
