Trekking
Trekking is an integral part of adventure tourism
in Nepal. Adventurers from all over the world
enjoy close views of the Himalayas, the finely-balanced
ecosystems and the hardy yet hospitable mountain
peoples. The flora and fauna are also something
very special: from rhododendron forests to the
Trans-Himalayan desertscape, from ghoral and the
tahr to the elusive snow leopard. The romance
of the mountain kingdom brings 470,000 trekkers
annually to the Nepalese Himalayas. Our programs
and expertise strive to offer our clients the
best way to enjoy all that we have to offer.
White Water Rafting
The rivers of Nepal take the traveller to the
very heart of a magical land and is one of the
most exciting ways of exploring Nepal's ancient
cultures and unspoiled landscapes. Rising from
the glaciers of the highest mountains in the world
and from the mysterious plateau of Tibet the rivers
plunge through narrow gorges and traverse their
rugged foothills. Before the melted snows reach
the peaceful waters of the holy Ganges, the rivers
course through lush tropical jungles and meander
through the plains of the Terai.
Jungle Safari
In the southern region of Nepal, between the Mahabharat
and Churia mountain ranges, lies the dense jungles
formerly host to many foreign royalties and dignitaries
in organized tiger shoots. Following the banning
of hunting the government has designated these
areas national parks. The Royal Chitwan National
Park and Royal Bardia Wildlife Reserve are the
most accessible areas where private operators
are allowed to operate wildlife lodges and tented
camps inside the reserves. Deluxe establishments
catering to discerning tourists provide ample
attractions like wildlife viewing on elephant
back, canoe ride, nature walks and evening local
entertainment.
Sky Trek
With the advent of private airline companies operating
on the domestic routes of Nepal many areas of
great natural beauty or of cultural significance,
hitherto inaccessible, have suddenly opened up.
Areas that needed strenuous treks of weeks to
reach are now just a short hop away from Kathmandu.
To the busy executive or the elderly our Sky Trek
programs offer tremendous incentive to experience
the Himalayas now!
Fixed Wing Stol Aircrafts
Everest / Annapurna Trail
We fly to the gateways of Lukla in the Everest
region and to the Trans-Himalayan region of Jomosom
north of Pokhara.
Karnali Safari / Dolpo
The Royal Bardia National Park encompasses the
densest jungle in Nepal as it is further away
from human habitation than the other parks. Tourism
activities in this park have been limited in the
past due to its distance from Kathmandu and the
vagaries of the mountain roads. Our Sky Trek Safari
now combines this with a quick trek in the Dolpo
region.
Syangboche Everest View Hotel (October - May)
The Everest View Hotel located near Namche Bazaar
in the Everest region at a height of 13,000 ft.
is the ultimate in high altitude luxury. The 12
twin-bedded rooms with private bath and hot and
cold running water offer stunningly close views
of the Everest. We fly you to the Syangboche airstrip
by the 7-seater Pilatus Porter STOL aircraft and
the hotel is just 45 minutes walk away from this
landing strip.
For the adventurous the hotel can be the launching
site of a 7 day trek to Everest Base Camp, 5 days
Gokyo glacier trek or 2 days trek to the famous
and recently restored Thyangboche monastery, the
highest monastery in the world.
Flights to Enchantment (Mountain Flights)
From May until September the long views of the
Himalayas is absent from most hill resorts and
so the one-hour mountain flight to Everest and
other peaks is a must in the itinerary. During
the winter, of course, the clarity of the sky
and fresh snowfall on the mountains will make
this flight even more spectacular. There is a
full range of aircrafts doing these flights daily:
Boeing 727, the 44 seater Avro, the 17-seater
Dornier and the 15-seater Twin Otter.
Helicopters
Nagarkot / Langtang
A day trip to Langtang with a quick breakfast-hop
in Nagarkot is the shortest possible introduction
to the Himalayas. We see Kyangjin monastery inhabited
by people of Tibetan stock before flying back
to Kathmandu.
Everest Base Camp
Everest Base Camp is the trophy most trekking
enthusiasts coming to Nepal want to bag. The shortest
and only possible way to fly there is by helicopter.
This trip is a great option for armchair trekking
enthusiasts and the busy business executives.
