What is
trekking?
It is a journey from place to place in the villages,
foothills and mountains. Depending on regions, it can be
through forested ridges, villages, along deep gorges and
canons, hillside trails and also across the snow passes.
It is full of ascents and descents and not necessarily
more arduous or uncomfortable than center-based sojourns
as people think but we say it is more interesting and
rewarding. |

How difficult are the treks and how long does it go for
?
The difficulty of our treks depend on where you want to
trek and how long you would like to go for. Your trek
can last anywhere from 3-8 days to an entire month or
longer if you wish. We can accommodate day hikes,
cultural visits to local villages, and relaxing rest
days on your trek. The decision is yours! The shorter
treks tend to be easier while the longer ones require
some physical fitness. Be prepared for some steep trails
leading to amazing view. You can go at your own pace
taking time! We have friendly and dependable staff to
look after you and porters to assist you with your
personal gears.
We assure you that you do not have to be very
experienced, or super fit to enjoy most of our treks.
Previous walking experience, though useful, is not
essential. The great majority of our treks could be
undertaken by anyone who is in good health, enjoys
outdoor life, and have spirit of adventure. Mental
preparedness is essential. Our treks vary from Easy to
Strenuous+ Alpine. |

Accommodation during trekking.
Being an environment friendly company we mainly rely on
camping treks. Unlike other companies our intention is
to give our clients the fullest satisfaction by taking
them mostly into "off the beaten path" treks. So we take
with us the Adventure Treks Tents, which is spacious
enough for two person, sleeping pillow, insulated
mattress, sleeping bag, down jacket and a hot water bag,
which gives you warmth during the night. On all our
treks there is a toilet tent with seat, dining tent with
tables and backrest chairs, which provides a cozy,
comfortable atmosphere to eat and chat with fellow
trekkers in the evening. Obviously, we need to employ
many porters who will not only carry your stuff but will
make sure you have a memorable time, by performing
Nepali song and dance in every opportunity we get. If
you really like to understand the Nepali culture,
tradition and want to adopt with the Nepali people then
we suggest you to do the Camping Trek. At the end of a
trek you will say, "It was worth paying". Another option
of trekking in Nepal is a Lodge or Tea House Trek where
we find an accommodation in our recommended lodges for a
night stay. They are the combination of guesthouse,
restaurant and social hang out. We also encourage our
clients to try the Tea House Treks mainly on the
Everest, Annapurna and Langtang Regions. Our many years
of experience along these routes have helped us to find,
friendliest, cleanest and most enjoyable teahouses with
the best views. Most teahouses have running water. Many
have hot water available for bathing. However, we
discourage our clients from using water heated by
firewood. As deforestation is a big environmental
concern in Nepal. These are also great ways of
supporting local villagers' economy. |

Will we have private rooms and bathrooms ?
Private rooms are available in most teahouses except for
those at very high altitudes. Most bathrooms are shared.
On our lodge treks we also provide someone to clean all
bathroom facilities for our groups. Our lodge treks also
include bed and pillow covers. During tent trekking, you
will be provided separate toilet tents.
Tented camping treks: In remote terrain, we camp in
tents. Even if you've never camped before, you don't
need to worry. The tents we provide are roomy, the
sleeping mattresses with pillows are comfortable. On all
of our treks there is a toilet tent with seat a dining
tent with tables and backrest chairs. It provides a
cozy, comfortable atmosphere to eat and chat with fellow
trekkers in the evening. |

Where do we eat our means and what types of food is
served ?
If you are on a teahouse trek you will eat breakfast and
dinner at your teahouse. We will stop for lunch at one
of the various trailside restaurants, where snacks are
always easy to find. If you are on a camping trek, we
will prepare all meals and snacks ourselves. Almost
every teahouse serves the traditional Nepali meal Dal
Bhat, Tarkari (rice, lentils and vegetable curries). All
teahouses we stay at have a variety of different foods
on the menu including noodles, rice, potatoes,
vegetables and soup. Some have Nepali versions of
western food such as pizza and French-fries. The choice
is yours. Sodas and beer are available at most of the
teahouses and of course Nepali milk tea is served
everywhere. |
