River Marsyangdi on the Annapurna Circuit

Its magnificent scenery and friendly, smiling people make Nepal the ideal place for trekkers. We have a programme containing all the popular treks plus a couple which explore less frequented areas. Our local agency is one of the oldest and most respected in the country so we can guarantee you an experience you will never forget.

Of course, hundreds of climbers go to Nepal every year to climb the world's highest peaks. However, we cater for climbers who would like to experience the same challenge but on a less ambitious scale. The eighteen trekking peaks offer sufficient challenge for the less experienced. Our programme includes those trekking peaks which are the most convenient to access and which can be combined with the major treks.

For your planning purposes we recommend one day in Kathmandu before departing for the trek and two or three more after the trek finishes. During the free days at the end we will take a guided tour round the towns of Bhaktapur and Pathan which are important cultural centres in the Kathmandu valley. Other recommended activities are rafting, biking, safari and hot air ballooning.

Magic Mountain Flight. This is a one-hour flight along the crest of the Himalayas as far as Mount Everest. The aircraft used is a modern 20-seater Beechcraft which has single seats along each side of the cabin. Thus every passenger has a window seat and is able to see the view in one direction or the other. Everyone is offered the chance to visit the cockpit where one of the pilots will answer your questions. If you are interested in the flight please contact us for further details.
