Off The Beaten Trail Treks

One of the reasons that we are different is because we can offer you treks in remote and undisturbed parts of Nepal, on trails that stay well away from popular trekking areas. Sometimes even deploying exploratory recce treks to find ancient pilgrim routes and trails that connect villages to scenic and remote high altitude grazing pastures. The following are some of the treks that give you the best oppurtunity to see the real Nepal

This journey to the forbidden city of Lhasa is one that few people will ever make. Tibet is wild and barren and not the most comfortable of destinations, yet your first sight of the great Potala Palace, the winter home of the Dalai Lama, or the sacred Mt. Kailash will be a breathtaking reward.

From Kathmandu you fly across the main Himalayan range and over the massive Tibetan Plateau to Lhasa. Your first day is spent relaxing to allow acclimatisation as your body attunes to the rarified air in this city which lies at 3683m. Two days are then spent visiting the Potala, the Norbulingka (summer palace) and the famed monasteries of Ganden and Drepung, plus that most revered of sacred Buddhist shrines, the Jokhang Temple. A walk around the Barkhor (the old market area of old Lhasa) is a shopper’s delight.

A couple of days is then spent visiting the old fortress town of Gyantse and on to Shigatse, home of the Panchen Lamas, before returning to Lhasa for the flight back to Kathmandu.

We can arrange tours to the isolated Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan which lies to the east of Nepal and Sikkim, north of India and south of China (Tibet), and which until relatively recently was closed to western visitors. The number of visitors is still controlled with entry restricted to flights in to Paro by the national airline, Druk Air, from Bangkok, Calcutta, Delhi and Kathmandu, with one overland entry point from India. We recommend that you fly in from Kathmandu. All tours to Bhutan must be organised through a local agent and the costs are rather higher than for Nepal, as the Bhutanese authorities lay down a minimum per diem.

Bhutan, with a population of under 1 million, retains its unique cultural heritage and brand of Buddhism. The major centres are located in the valleys that dissect the country north to south which are protected and dominated by spectacular "Dzongs", magnificent fortified monasteries. A visit to Bhutan mainly involves drives over the high passes between these valleys, through pristine forests and lovely scenery; such as the "Tigers Den" monastery set on a cliff high above the Paro Valley. Invariable there will be the opportunity to observe ceremonies and festivals at the many monasteries.

During your visit you will stay in comfortable resorts set in attractive surroundings. The best time to visit Bhutan is in the Autumn (September to November) the Spring (March to May) which is the best time to see Bhutan's superb flora and fauna. It is possible to include a short trek of 3 to 5 days in your itinerary. Trekking in Bhutan is rather more basic than that which we offer in Nepal.

Accomodation in Bhutan is best described as rustic, apart from one or two extremely expensive and modern spa type resorts. However, wherever you are in Bhutan, the surrounding scenery is unforgettable. For those with limited time we can arrange a short 'Best of Bhutan Tour'.

Enchanting Bhutan Tour
