TREKS IN THE EVEREST REGION

Everest Gokyo

No other trekking route allows you to see so many of the worlds' highest mountains in one day. Based on the original expedition route to Everest Base Camp the Magic Mountain itinerary makes several diversions from the main trail giving the trekker both better acclimatisation and a taste of wilderness travel. The traditional visit to Kala Pattar and Everest Base Camp is followed by a side trip into the unspoiled Gokyo Valley where the views of the high Himalaya are second to none.

All of this combined with Magic Mountains' traditional trekking service will make this the trip of a lifetime.

Everest View

Not everyone has the time or the stamina to reach the traditional goal of trekkers in the Everest region, Everest Base Camp. For this reason we are offering a shortened itinerary that still gives you more than just a glimpse of the highest peaks on earth. We spend two nights on the beautiful ridge top that houses the rebuilt Buddhist monastery of Thyangboche from where the dawn and dusk views of Everest are spectacular. We also stay for two nights in Namche Bazar with its' surrounding Sherpa villages and wealth of Sherpa culture and hospitality. This trek can ideally be combined with rafting or jungle trips.

Gokyo and Rolwaling Valleys

Do you want to combine a trek to the Everest region with an adventure in a remote unspoiled valley? Do you want to experience Sherpa and Tibetan culture and religion? Do you want the chance to climb a trekking peak? All of this and much more can be experienced on our Gokyo and Rolwaling Valleys trek. For years, protected by regulations and challenging access routes, the Rolwaling Valley has remained unaltered by western influences. Now open to group trekking parties this fascinating valley has much to offer. The challenge of the crossing of one of the most difficult passes on any trekking route and the desolate wasteland of a huge glacier leads eventually to a rich, fertile valley dotted with villages and farming communities. The warmth and friendliness of the valleys' inhabitants will be one of the highlights of the trip. This is not a trek for the faint hearted but for those who accept the challenge it will be the trip of a lifetime.

Lobuche East Expedition

Combine the traditional Everest trek with some remote area diversions and add the challenge of climbing a 6000 metre peak and you have our Lobuche East Expedition. One of the more difficult of the trekking peaks of Nepal, Lobuche East lies only a few kilometres from Everest. From the summit the views of the main Himalayan range are the amongst the best to be had anywhere.
This is not a trek for the beginner for although the climb is optional the itinerary takes you through some remote and rugged areas. But, for those taking the challenge this trip will offer a complete Himalayan adventure with all of the excitement and cultural experiences you could wish for.

Nepal Experience

For a complete experience of what Nepal has to offer our Nepal Experience itinerary is ideal. Combining a trek in an unspoiled, yet undemanding, region with the thrill of whitewater rafting and the luxury of a stay in our jungle resort this trip offers it all. The trek through the foothills surrounding the ancient fortress town of Gorkha takes you into the traditional homeland of the famed Gurkha soldiers. Fearsome in battle these people in their natural environment are warm and friendly and will be happy to show you some of the delights of their region. The sometimes tranquil sometimes raging waters of one of Nepals' best known rafting rivers now await.

Our experienced rafting crew will take you for the ride of your lives through rapids with ominous names like Upset, S-bend and Ladies Delight before setting up an idyllic campsite on a deserted sandy beach. What better way to unwind after a trek than to visit our jungle resort. Set inside the Chitwan National Park, Machan Resort is the ideal base from which to see Rhino, deer, many different species of birds and, with luck, the famed Bengal Tiger. All of this in the luxurious and isolated setting for which Machan is famous.
