The landscape changes quite abruptly into a rugged high mountain landscape, with amazing views of Mardi Himal, Machapuchre, Annapurna South and Hiunchuli.

Everest Base Camp trek is one of the most famous treks in the world. It takes you into the heart of the Nepalese Himalaya, with incredible awe-inspiring views of many of the world’s highest and most beautiful mountains. Everest Base Camp is recommended as a “must see before die destination” by Lonely Planet. On our Everest Base Camp Trek, we follow the footsteps of legend Sir Edmund Hillary as we ascend from verdant Lukla Airport to the vast glaciers and razor-sharp ridge-lines of the Everest Himalayas, home of the world’s highest peaks. Along the way, we will encounter most hospitable and friendly Sherpa people and get to know their lifestyle, colorful festivals & Buddhist monasteries surrounded by unique flora and fauna.
Manaslu region trekking provides perfect views of mountains, varieties of flora and fauna, combined with rich cultural heritages of various ethnic groups living in the area. Manaslu circuit trekking, also known as Manaslu circuit trekking, is one of the most demanded trekking destinations in Nepal. This trekking area was opened for foreigners since 1991. Manaslu circuit trek begins with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to the town of Arughat Bazaar and the trek ends in Besi Sahar which is also the starting point for the Annapurna circuit.
Upper Mustang is a rare privilege. Here you will experience a way of life of true mountain people, who for hundreds of years, had very little contact with the rest of Nepal and retained their rich cultural heritage. Until recent times their king was officially recognized by the Government of Nepal.
In many ways, a trek into Upper Mustang is similar to trekking in Tibet, as geographically it is a part of the Tibetan plateau. The district of Mustang was, until 1950, a separate kingdom within the boundaries of Nepal. The last king, the Raja of Mustang, still has his home in the ancient capital known as Lo Manthang.
Mustang’s last official kiing Jigme Dorje Palbar Bista’s palace in Lo Manthan, Upper Mustang.
Upper Mustang was opened to non-Nepali trekkers only some fifteen years ago and even today, access is still highly restricted. To enter Upper Mustang, that is to travel further north of Kagbeni, trekkers need a special trekking permit and must be accompanied by a government appointed official.
Upper Mustang, being in the Himalayan rain shadow, is one of the regions in the country suitable for trekking even during the monsoons. During this time, the upper Kali Gandaki valley is still quite dry with only occasional rainfall.
Annapurna Base Camp trek is one of the most popular moderate nature trekking trails. This trail has been attracting anyone’s attention through its geographic diversity including breathtaking landscape, panoramic view of snow-capped peaks of great Himalayas such as Annapurna-I (8091 m), Annapurna-II (7937 m), Annapurna-III (7555 m), Dhaulagiri (8167 m), Machhapuchhre (6998 m) and Gangapurna. Scenic river banks, picturesque forest valley, Hindu and Buddhists temples, culturally rich traditional villages of ethnic communities of Magar, Gurung, Ghale, Thakali and their hospitality are some of the highlights of this trekking route.
The name suggests, the center piece of this part of Nepal is the range of mountains that includes Annapurna I, the first of the 8,000 m peaks to be climbed. Also included in this region is yet another 8,000 m giant, Dhaulagiri, which is located west of Annapurna I. Between these two mountains lies the valley of the Kali-Gandaki River, deepest gorge in the world.
