Why with me trekking in Nepal?
I will personally be your guide when you book your arrangements with me. I commit my time to be with you during your trek. Other companies will arrange a guide for you, and depending on their schedule you may not always receive the best qualified guide.

I have many years of experience as a trekking guide and I feel that our relationship as a guide /trekker begins with our first contacts. The emails we exchange in preparation for your trip allows us to learn about one another past to your arrival in Nepal. When you arrive in Nepal we will already know something about each others so that we will not begin our adventure together as complete strangers.

Since we will directly interact in a planning process you will have a clear understanding about your payment. I am very much conscious of your budget. My price is very reasionable. The budget for your trip can be better used for your trekking expenses and it guarantees that guide, porters and other supporting staff will fairly paid. The stiff competition between agencies often makes this difficult. I am not large company, so the service I provide is quite friendly and private. I am more flexible; I hike at your pace and give more personal service.

I and my supporting friends are covered by insurance for the trek and I always provide them enough clothing/ equipment during the trekking which is major issue in some certain areas. If you have been trekking you will know how hard porters have to live for their cash and living. Yet here are several trekking companies and lots of guides and porters are working with them by paying shocking amount of wages.

Having experienced trek life through Nepal's numerous high landscapes I have discovered a rich assortment of diverse culture and religion in Nepal. So I will alert you to local culture, see sights select nice lodging and dining and look after your logistical requirements like picking you up from the airport, paying conservation/national park fee, TIMS organizing your transport to the trek head. communicate and directing the porter etc and in case of emergency , I can get a helicopter to pick you up immediately as I know most of helicopter companies and their operators to do that.

As a guide my primary goal is to provide rich cultural experience and adventurous satisfaction so that my guest may leave with many happy memories of their visit to our small country and her people. I wish your travel experience in any place during the trek to be greatly improved.

The Trekking Day.
One of the great joys of trekking in our country is to flee the hustle and bustle of the city and relax with the simple day to day routine of life on the trail.

Each morning after packing our bags and having a good breakfast, we set off on the day's walk. All you need to carry is a small day pack containing water bottle, camera, sun cream, hat, rain jacket and warm jacket, just in case. The porters will carry the rest of our gear for us. After walking for 3-4 hours we stop for lunch at around midday. The afternoon's walk is generally shorter and we usually arrive at our destination in time for afternoon tea. The remainder of the afternoon can be spent exploring the village, doing a bit of washing or simply relaxing with a good book. On some days we will arrive at our destination by lunch time and the entire afternoon will be free for side walk or some religious/cultural sites. After dinner, the evening will often be spent reliving the day's adventures, before heading off to bed for a well-earned sleep. Arjun2004p@yahoo.com
Previous Clients Experience.
Hiking and Trekking in Nepal, for the first time trekker the prospect of trekking in the Himalaya can be daunting as well as thrilling. Trekking in Nepal is an altogether different experience. Rather than jumping into the wilderness to get away from it all, you walk into countryside free from roads. Villages caught in a time warp abound, terraced fields stacked up huge hillsides.

The paths are timeless pilgrimage routes, trails between villages or tracks to high grazing pastures. It is by no means wilderness, but it is an incredibly beautiful natural world. Only higher up in the alpine valleys are the villages left behind, to be replaced by herder's huts and higher still, the ice castles of the lofty Himalaya.

The practical aspects of trekking are surprisingly easy. In the villages and along the way are lodges and teahouses where meals are ordered from menus in English. Alternatively, on a trekking tour 3 course meals are served. Without the need to carry food and camping equipment backpacks are light. You end up only with a daypack. So trekking is really little more than a pleasurable ramble through quaint villages, gazing in wonder at the terraced hillsides and wandering amid incredible mountain scenery.

The satisfaction of trekking is in the process. Following this most standard trekking days are not particularly long. There is time enough for spotting wildlife, photography, chatting along the way and relaxing over lunch or a reviving cup of tea.

But there are challenges; for the unwarned the first is the physical effort required. Accompanying the inspiring mountains are huge hills, some of which must be climbed. Although hopefully lightly laden, hill-climbing still means plenty of heavy breathing and sweat. Pleasure can be had from frequent rests; admiring the scenery which, even after a mere 10 minutes uphill battle, alters satisfyingly and often dramatically. Taking comfort too in the frequent teahouses which are often strategically placed.

The second discomfort is sickness. It is South Asia and no matter how careful you are, count on some usually minor bowel problems or even a day you wish to forget. Luckily, these seem trivial compared to the whole wonderful experience.

To enjoy the Himalaya you don't have to be the tough outdoorsy type. Like rucksacks and cameras, trekkers come in all shapes and sizes, and with widely differing aspirations. Trekking is physical but certainly not beyond the majority of people. Most important knows that you enjoy the concept. Bring along a traveler's curiosity and a sense of humor, and before you know it you will relish the thought of an others trek

Fitness Capacity.
Fitness required varies from trek to trek but for standard departures you should be at least moderately fit, used to some regular exercise. It is most important that you know you enjoy walking in the great outdoors but you certainly don't need to be an experienced hiker. For some people this is their first real trek. The older you are the more important prior fitness and training is.

What is a typical day like?

In the morning at around six, coffee or tea is served at your tent if you are in tented treks. Hot water is provided for washing and shaving. Breakfast is ready by 8 am; meanwhile the bags are packed and all set to move along trails for 3-4 hours. We stop for a lunch break for about 1-2 hours. Again, we move ahead along the mountain trails for another 2-3 hours and finally reach campsite or lodge. Hot water for washing along with refreshment is served. You will have 1-2 hours to explore around the campsite area or visit a nearby village, meet local people and learn about their tradition, culture and lifestyle. Alternatively, you can write your diary, take photographs, laze around or even meditate in the fresh Himalayan air. Full course dinner is served which usually starts around 7 pm; you can enjoy your meal with your co-trekkers. In some occasions, you may be invited to local folk music or dance programs in the evenings if we can find some of the village or local ceremony.

What about altitude and medical problems?

Yes, altitude does affect in normal physical performance but provided you are ascending in a safe pace, minimizes the risk of altitude sickness. It is important to get acclimatized as we climb higher. Our treks are designed to help you acclimatize along the way where necessary. We usually do not have medical doctor during the trek but we trained in first aid.
Trekking Style
Lodge Trek services

Teahouse trekking means staying and eating in local lodges. We stay in single rooms where possible, but often you will have to share. Rooms are basic, normally just a bed with a pillow, blankets on request. A few have electric lights and all have a spacious dining room-lounge. We eat at teahouses and, although the food is usually plentiful and delicious, the menu is not extensive. The different areas offer a variety of potato, rice and noodle dishes, as well as soup and seasonal vegetables. A variety of cereals, bread and egg dishes are generally available for breakfast. There are also snacks available such as basic biscuits, chocolate and soft drinks and in some areas you will find fresh fruit in season.

Camp Trek services.

Camping means sleeping in tents, normally I provide a two person tent for one client, and large three person tents for a couple.

On the trek I provide 3 tasty, plentiful and nutritious meals daily with a variety of local and Western dishes. To start the day, breakfast consists of a choice of porridge, muesli and cereal followed by omelets, fried or scrambled eggs with chapattis or bread.

Lunch is generally a selection of salad, cooked vegetable dishes, pasta and traditional breads. After a day on the trail dinner is a hearty 3 course meal - soup, followed by a variety of vegetable, meat, rice and pasta dishes and completed with a simple dessert.

Tea, coffee and hot chocolate are also provided at most meals.

We use as much fresh produce as possible and our cooks and kitchen crew maintain good standards of cleanliness and food preparation hygiene. Special dietary requirements can be catered for.

Sason
Nepal has cool, clear winters, pleasant moist springs, hot wet summers and fantastic mostly clear autumns. Traveling to Nepal is possible any time of the year. But it all depends on where you travel. Trekking is possible at anytime of the year depending on where you are going. The most popular seasons are autumn (September-December) and spring (February-May). Winter is very cold above 4000m. And high mountain passes may be snowbound, but it is good for trekking at lower altitudes. During the monsoon season (June-August), you can trek in the rain-shadow areas north of the Himalayan like Mustang, upper Manang and Dolpo. These places are out of reach of the rain clouds because of the high mountains and are unaffected by the monsoon. During the monsoon in Nepal it is recommended to travel in Tibet (May to September)

The rhododendron spring - March-April-May
Spring dances ever higher, painting the rhododendron hillsides. The arriving warmth generates staggering cloud formations and the occasional pre-monsoon downpour (everyone dives into the nearest house to wait the squalls out over tea). Some days are staggeringly fine, others the views cloud in around lunchtime or in the afternoon, great for reading and relaxing and just when you begin to worry about tomorrow, mostly the evenings turn sparklingly clear. This is the second traditional trekking season, and definitely less crowded but still a great time to trek.
March and April are often drier than May, but May has the advantage of more alpine flowers.

The monsoon (summer) June-July-August-September
In late May and early June at low altitude the heat stifles. Clouds billow ever higher cumulating in crescendos of rain. The downpours are usually brief leaving plenty of time to admire more than just the forces of nature. Katmandu is sticky, with rain as a relief and, in the Terai, elephants rather than jeeps are used for crossing the swollen rivers. The jungle is lush, vibrant and tropical. In the high rain-shadow areas it is surprisingly pleasant, balmy with only occasional showers. It is a time for wandering among the flower carpets and vivid colors while the locals are absorbed in the traditional cycles of agriculture. For this time of year I offer the trek to Rain shadow area in Manang and Mustang or Naar- Phu the hidden tradition in Manang.

The harvest - mid-September to mid-October
The monsoon dwindles in late September but a few tail-end clouds and showers (or short-lived snow at altitude) must be expected. Locals and trekkers simply take cover in the nearest teahouse and wait the afternoon shower out. There's also a chance that the monsoon may not quite have ended, staging a dramatic return for a few weeks. The middle hills are either hot and sweaty under the fierce sun or perpetually grey and cloudy, while higher up it's pleasant with cool but mostly frost-free nights. If you skip the lower country, this is a particularly pleasant and under-trekked season. At this time the whole country changes from a lush, verdant green into the harvest colors.

The perfect autumn - mid-October thru early December
This is classic trekking time, famed for clear skies and fantastic fine weather. Early October through to late November is also the busiest period with the teahouse regions brimming with trekkers. This is the season to head off the beaten track, to Kanchenjunga, Manaslu, Around Dhaulagiri as well.
The long fine periods are occasionally broken for day or two by a front sweeping overhead causing high cloud or cloud banks that roll up the valleys, and then usually clear at altitude with the sunset. The odd stronger front brings a spot of wet weather as well but it is impossible to tell (even the locals can't) whether a front contains rain. Barring unusual conditions during this trekking season perhaps two or three periods of showers and drizzle, or short-lived snow at altitude, can be expected. In an odd year there is perpetual high cloud and less than crystal clear skies.
In the low country evenings are balmy while in the middle hills they are pleasantly chilly. Above the tree line (4000m) nights are sharp and below freezing, early morning sun is particularly welcome.

The Christmas's winter
While trekking although winter, the weather is at its finest and driest; great conditions. It is the nights that are cold. In the middle hills nights are a crisp cool and clear, the high country the air is tinkling sharp and the stars have that crystal twinkle. Temperatures drop below freezing every night. Higher up after a snowfall only the Solu-Khumbu (Mt Everest region) Annapurna Sanctuary, Jomsom, Gosainkunda Helambu are reliably accessible and pleasant. Mostly fine, any light snow clears quickly while the deeper powder, yak-tracked, rarely slows us.

Trekking Grades in Nepal.
As a Professional tour operator and Trekking guide I operate wide ranges of trekking activities in Nepal and for many of my treks you can choose either Tea house style (Lodge Trek) or Camping trek( Fully organized Trekking). Regarding all the trekking itineraries included in this section have fully tried and tested and found to be suitable for all age groups but trekking itineraries will be designed and classified according to their difficulty and duration of holiday in Nepal. I plan trekking days carefully so that we have time to stand and stare as well as acclimatize to the high altitudes. In order to have your enjoyable rekking in Nepal it is essential to know which trek matches most with your physical capabilities. Hope this grading provides a way for you to compare different treks find a route to suite your fitness level in Nepal trip.

Easy Treks:
Namo Budhda,Ghorepani Poon Hill Trekking, Jomsom Muktinath Trekking, Helambu Trekking,Shivapuri Nagarkot Trek,Obviously easiest trips are designed to be enjoyed by anyone. For those trekkers who do not have any previous experience, I offer a diverse range of easy grade. A trek, categorizing a trek as easy means that no difficult climbing or ascents to high altitudes is involved. However the treks still involve walking up and down gradual hills on well defined trails and daily stages of 5 to 6 hours along good passable trails in your pace through 3000 meters of altitude about 10 kilometers per day, for usually a week and this treks are suitable for most people with an average level fitness. Trekking in this category is also suited to family groups with younger children or those with limited time. This lower altitude treks often provide colorful horizons of a whole series of ranges.

In Annapurna region the Ghorepani, Ghandruk/ Poon Hill Trekking and Jomsom Muktinaath Trekking Treks are relatively easy, shorter treks and quite popular of diversity in both land escapes and people and you will find terrain and views splendid. The well beaten trail takes you in the heart of central Nepal Himalayas. The tea house along these routes offer 24 hours running solar hot water and western style food. The Panchase and Siklesh trekking are rarely traveled but best destination for spectacular mountain views and Gurung Cultures in Annapurna region. If the idea of tea house trekking appeals to you but you would prefer to escape from the crowds, then the Helambu Trekking northern direction of Katmandu could be your ideal choice. This is one of the most convenient trekking areas close to capital city and relatively low altitude trek with simpler tea house but famous for its wonderful culture hyolmali People, sight of enormous snowy mountains and spectacular green valley. To really get away from it all, the Shivapuri Nagarkot Trekking. Whilst you will still pass through many remote villages, these regions are so unspoiled as to have no tea house, and only a camping trek is an option. Again, the fantastic range of Annapurna Mountains, Ganesh Himal, Manaslu, Langtang can be viewed on these treks.

Moderate Treks:
The Moderate treks begin to present more of a challenge to first time trekkers and are tougher than easy treks .So these treks are suitable for any walker looking for something a little more challenging and energetic. In this sector, I have included trekking at the higher altitudes in Annapurna; Langtang Himalayan region and far western Nepal. The treks will reach elevation approaching 4,500 meters involving more walking up and down and sometimes slightly higher where you will be rewarded with close up views of big mountains and generally are of at least fourteen days duration. The treks in these categories are still suitable for people of all ages although small children will probably find them too strenuous .You can choose Annapurna Base Camp Trekking, Langtang Region; Ganesh Himal Trekking would be a choice. If you are looking for wilderness and solitude trekking adventure, the journey to Rara Lake Trekking is an ideal choice. It is similarly remote and is a good option for the summer season as rainfall is low. The last two regions are relatively unknown by tourists. There are no teahouse so we need to camp.

laborious trekking
Annapurna Trekking, Mt. Everest Region Trekking, Everest Base Camp Trek, Upper Mustang Trekking, Makalu Base Camp Trekking & Non - Touristy Area of Nepal This trips include a physical component with some important, a steep climbing may be involved, although it is never necessary to use ropes and traveling condition can be tough. Trekking involves some steeper up and down on well - defined trail and altitudes exceed 5,500 meters. Treks at this level can be arranged for periods of 7-25 days.

For a popular and spectacular trek with the possibility of staying in well -developed tea houses .The Annapurna Circuit Trekking is a good choice or you can take an optional route to Tilicho Lake Trekking, Mesokanto Pass from Manang through Khangsar village on the route to Annapurna circuit which is an area of rough and wild beauty .for an all -round experience of the scenery and cultures of Nepal this trek has a lot to offer .A gradual ascent through a green river valley will lead you up to a number of high passes , where you will reach the altitude of 5,416m at Thorong La .

Another very popular trekking, with good tea house facilities, are the Everest Base Camp, Gokyo Lake Trek in Everest Region. This trek takes you into the heart of the soaring peaks and cultures of the Everest region to the foot of the great peak of itself .if you wish a trek in off the beaten track, wild and restricted areas, the trail to Upper Mustang Trekking (max. elevation 5,400m) north of the Annapurna range offers fantastic landscapes and mystical cultures. Or you can choose Makalu Base Camp Trekking, the fifth highest peak in the world, traverses through isolated valleys and high mountains passes (max. elevation 5,350m).

For those who are wishing to visit less touristy area I have accumulated a variety of trekking trips to Non -Touristy area of Nepal at this "c" level that provide a wilderness experience in both natural and cultural aspect.

We will arrive on the dry windy planes of the Tibetan plateau (2600m) where the sacred pilgrimage site of Muktinath temple (3800m) is situated, with its 108 spring water taps and mysterious natural gas fires. Here we will experience the deeply spiritual atmosphere and observe the unusual merging of Hindu and Buddhist worshipers. Continuing, we descend across the windy plateau to Jomsom village, from where we will take an exhilarating mountain flight through the Kali Gandaki gorge enjoying our last spectacular views of the Himalayas, taking us back to Pokhara.

Challenging Treks.
Nepal Camping Treks Dolpo Trekking, Manaslu Trekking, Kanchanjunga Trekking ,Ganja- La Pass Trekking , Simikot (mt Kailash ) Trekking, Dhaulagiri Trekking, Challenging treks are only for real adventures .The main component at this level is likely to be a long , high altitude trek , uphill mountain with the possibility of some rope climbing that requires physical and mental stamina . A high level preparation is essential before embarking on one of these adventures. Altitudes will often exceed 5,000 meters where people are living in high mountain / high deserts and the treks involve camping for relatively long periods about 20-28 days or sometimes more then that . So excellent physical condition is essential and mountaineering experience is preferable...

A trek to isolated , the heavily restricted Dolpo Trek(max. elevation 4;500m) in north -west Nepal captivates visitors with its emerald Phoksundo Lake and magnification scenery of wild and pristine landscape ;Which is unlike most part of Nepal Himalayas .Manaslu Trekking in central Nepal (maximum elevation 5,213m) offers a whole range pristine eco systems. Trek to Kanchanjunga Trekking ;the third highest of the world's peaks will take you into the remote far east region of Nepal .It is one of Nepal's least trekked areas and certainly one of the most beautiful. In Langtang region a trekking to Ganja La pass (5,200meters) that connects between Langtang to Helambu is one of rewarding pass with the views of the valley and peaks of Langtang Himal. For those who are interested in the rugged scenery and the scattered traditional villages a trek to Simikot (mt. Kaikash) trekking can fulfill their aspiration. If you are really adventures and want the ultimate challenge, the Dhaulagiri Trekking is the most difficult of my featured treks. This region is new territory for trekkers and involves challenging trekking on rough high Terrain.

While you trek, you can observe the life in the foothills of Himalayas and the contrasting rural lifestyle of the common Nepal people in close proximity.

Climbing trips
For all trips I include climbing permits, staff insurance, fixed ropes as necessary, portering of your personal climbing equipment (plastic boots, crampons, ice axe; everything you need only for the climb). I provide all accommodation (including high altitude tents), food (you may be asked to assist with preparation if we camp above base camp) and porters to base camp. I can provide a limited number of harnesses, ropes and associated equipment, a limited number of sleeping mats and crampons and ice axes. You must provide or rent plastic boots, and sometimes crampons and ice axe. We don't normally use helmets, although this is your choice.
Peak Climbing,

Nepal is evidently known as the Himalayan kingdom owing to its innumerable mountains which are over 5500 m to 8848m above sea level. Currently Nepal offers about 236 peaks for expeditions. These expeditions give you an opportunity to experience the euphoria of climbing some of the highest peaks of the world. The Nepal mountaineering association has been authorizing the climbing permits for small scale peaks since 1978. Essentially, the participants need not have any prior experience concerning the expeditions but a fit and firm physical condition is always an advantage. However, you are provided with basic knowledge about handling ropes as well as about other climbing equipments before starting the actual summit. Further, your safety is ensured by us and my co- climbers we are registered with the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA). We are trained to help you entirely and as we are locals familiar with all the expedition routes, thus, leaving no room for any complications.

Hiunchuli (6441 m.)
Hiunchuli, at a height of 6,441 meters, forms a massive south-facing wall together with Annapurna South. Its eastern face overlooks the Modi Khola and guards the entrance to the Annapurna Sanctuary. An American Peace Corps Expedition, via the southeast face, first climbed Hiunchuli in October 1971. The mountain is not technically difficult to climb.

Singu Chuli (Fluted peak) (6501 m.)
Singu Chuli (6,501 m) was formerly known as Fluted Peak. The first ascent of this peak was made by Wilf Noyce and David Cox on its North-East Face and the top section of the East Ridge. This mountain has proven to be very difficult to climb for most commercial climbing groups who have tried to concentrate on Tent Peak.

Mera peak (6654 m.)
Mera Peak (6,654 m) is the highest permitted trekking peak of Nepal. It stands to the south of Everest and dominates the watershed between the heavily wooded valleys of the Hinku and Hongu Drangkas. J.O.M. Roberts and Sen Tenzing made the first successful ascent of Mera Peak on 20 May 1953. The route they used is still the standard route.

Kusum Kangru (6367 m.)
Kusum Kanguru, 6,369 meters, dominating the southern end of Charpati Himal separates the valley of the Dudh Koshi from the upper reaches of Hinku Drangka. This peak is a complex, triple-summited mountain having at least five major ridges and faces. The north face of the main summit is the most spectacular one.

Kwangde (6011 m.)
Also known as Kangde Ri and Kwangde, Kwangdi Ri is a difficult mountain to climb and stands at a height of 6,011m. It forms an impressive multi-summited ridge at the eastern end of the Lumding Himal, which in turn is part of Rolwaling Himal. The mountain stands above the Bhote Koshi River to the south-west of Namche Bazar.

Chulu West (6419 m.)
Of the two Chulus (East and West), Chulu West is the higher peak. It was first ascended in 1952 by a Japanese Expedition. The Base Camp of this peak is situated in a small valley north of Manang, off the main trail to the Thorong La. There is a controversy regarding the name and location of the Chulu peaks. There are several peaks close by and are also parts.

Chulu East (6584 m.)
First climbed in 1955 by a German expedition via the north-east ridge, the peak of Chulu East, together with Chulu West, forms an integral part of the Manang Himal, which in turn is included in the Larger Damodar Himal. Chulu East lying south east of Chulu West is a comparatively smaller peak.

Imja Tse (Island Peak) (6160 m.)
Imja Tse peak, at a height of 6,160 meters, is more popularly known by the name of Island Peak. The peak was named Island peak by Eric Shipton's party in 1953, as the peak resembles an island in a sea of ice when viewed form Dingboche. Later in 1983, the peak was renamed as Imja Tse.



Parchemuche (6187 m.)
First climbed in 1955, Pharchamo Peak is an attractive snow peak lying south of Tashi Lapcha. It has a north-by-northwest ridge, which rises from the crevassed glacier astride the Tashi Lapcha. The face of the ridge forms a uniform slope broken by crevasse and seraes rising from the rocky lower buttresses above the Drolambau Glaciers in the west.

Ramdung (5925 m.)
Ramdung stands at a height of 5,925 meters. It is situated south of Na in the upper Rolwaling region and is one of a cluster of peaks surrounding Yalung La. It provides an access to upper Rolwaling from the south via the Khare Khola. A team led by Bill Murray first climbed the peak in 1952; it proved to be an ideal summit for commercial trekking and climbing.

Pisang peak (6091 m.)
Pisang Peak offers good scope for exploration. The western flank of the mountain is guarded by a hanging glacier and offers considerable challenge. The western end of the ridge is guarded by huge rock slabs, which make it difficult to climb. A German Expedition made the first ascent of Pisang Peak in 1955.




Tharpu Chuli (Tent Peak) (5663 m.)
Situated in the heart of the Annapurna Sanctuary, Tharpuchuli is an attractive mountain. It is a part of the ridgeline and is located south from the glacier dome. It includes Singu Chuli and acts as a central divider between the semicircles of peaks enclosing the Sanctuary. Tharpuchuli offers an interesting climb to the top and also offers scenic views of other mountains.

Khongma Tse (Mehra peak) (5849 m.)
Kongma Tse, 5,849 meters, was formerly called Mehra Peak or simply Mehra. It rises to the north of Kongma La and stands above the Khumbu Glacier opposite of Lobuje. It is one of several summits, which make up the long south-west ridge of Nuptse.

Ganja La Chuli (Naya kanga) (5844 m.)
Formerly known as Ganja La Chuli, Naya Kanga (5,844 m) rises to the west of Ganja La, and is a popular but difficult mountain to climb. The normal route to this peak is via the snowy north-east ridge. It is not yet clear who climbed this summit first. The most important reward of climbing Naya Kanga is the spectacular view of mountains in or near Tibet.

Pokhalde (5806 m.)
Pokhalde (5,806 m) was first climbed in 1953 via the Kongma La along its north ridge by the 1953 Everest Expedition team led by John Hunt. Pokhalde looks like a crenulated rocky ridge dominated by the vast bulk of Nuptse when seen from Nuptse. The mountain has a small hanging glacier, which is best reached along the ridge rising from the Kongma La, on

Mardi Himal (5587 m.)
Mardi Himal (5,587 m) lies less than 15 miles from Pokhara, and is the most southerly peak of the Annapurna range. It is the lowest and the least climbed or visited peak. Photographs of Mardi Himal taken in 1953 by Baisl Goodfellow first drew the attention of western climbers, and the mountain received its first
ascent in 1961. The first route was via the East Flank

White water Rafting
Rafting is the best alternative to trekking, a sport that satisfies the desire of adventure within a limited time frame. Exploring the rivers of middle hills and deep plains of Nepal is an exciting event altogether. You can come across small villages and local wild life as you buoy over the rippling stretches of water or thrill yourself against its forceful foams. Generally, the trip can be of 3-5 hrs depending upon the kind of adventure you choose and there is ample action throughout the trip from photography to entertainment. Apart from the monsoon that starts from May and ends in September, all the seasons are ideal for rafting in Nepal. However, March, April and October is excellent as the weather is pleasant and the water is warm during these months.

Trishuli: popular river
Duration (1-3 days)
It is the most favored river for rafting because of its easy accessibility. Further, various tourist destinations can be combined with rafting through this trip. Trishuli originates from the famous mountain Langtang and can be reached from Kathmandu or Pokhara. A variety of trips are possible, from one day trip to a week's adventure. However, the most popular one is the three day trip with exciting rapids such as "Upset, Bijuli, Lady's Delight, Surprise, etc"

Kali Gandaki: river of kali goddess
Duration: 3 days
Kali Gandaki originates from Tibet and is named after the mythological goddess Kali. It runs through the deepest river gorge of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna. Thick vegetation, wildlife, serene villages, spectacular mountain views and 3 to 4+ turbulent rapids are few of its distinguished features.

Sun Koshi: river of gold
Duration (8-10 days)
The river is wonderful for rafting as well as for kayaking; besides, it is very reachable by road. The trips are between 8 to 10 days and covers 177 kilometers. This is one of the most thrilling white water rafting that passes over outlying country sides, its ethnic inhabitants, dense forest and varied rock formation. Further, the peaceful asymmetrical hills are a common in this area. The trip starts with a calm and quiet float in the river but it gets thrilling once it reaches the high waters; the rapids can rise to enormous sizes and can be overwhelming.

Bhote Koshi: Tibetian river
Duration(2 days)
This is a short and sweet trip which can be pretty interesting for those who are looking for light adventure. The put-in point is just three hours outside Kathmandu, while the Kahmandu/Lhasa Highway trails the river.

river beaches, all the difficulties of rafting against the narrow gorges is forgotten. The trip ends near Bardia National park which is again full of rare species like rhinos and tigers.

Seti: white and scenic river
Duration (2-3 days)
This is an attractive short rafting trip amidst simple rapids, though not during the monsoons. Its put-in point is Damuli which falls on the Kathmandu - Pokhara highway about 160 km away from Kathmandu.
