Trekking In Nepal


Trip duration 20 days from Kathmandu
Dates         16 October– 11 November,2012
Kanchenjunga (8595m), in the remote eastern region of Nepal is the third highest mountain in the world. The small groups that back track adventures take into this area are rewarded with outstanding mountain views, dense forests, quiet trails and friendly, hospitable people. We explore rarely trekked routes; walk alongside massive glaciers and cross ridges and high passes deep in the mountains. A pioneering spirit and sound fitness are required to enjoy this challenging trek.

We trek with our own Remote Area Camping Style. You will travel well, eat 3 tasty, wholesome meals per day, sleep in room two-trekker sized tents, with toilet tents, mess tents, kitchen tents and all mess utensils provided. Read more about our Remote Area Camping Style.
