The Kathmandu Valley and Chepang Hills are away from the beaten track, yet very close to Kathmandu. This area is an ideal location for trekking with the feeling of being a pioneer. This fabled region conjures up images of mystical mountain people, enterprising explorers, ambitious mountain ascents, dramatic scenery and Hindu-Buddhist spiritualists. Very few foreigners have walked these paths and as a result experiences with locals are very special. There are a number of different ethnic groups in the areas we visit including the Magars, Gurungs, Newars and the very unique Chepang, who have until recently lived a semi nomadic lifestyle as hunter gatherers.
Hang on for the ultimate custom-designed Himalayan dream adventure combining biking, hiking, rafting, a flight past Everest and a safari atop elephants to see rhinos and other creatures in their natural environments. Specially designed as one of our “dream adventures”, Nepal experiences just don’t get any better than this!
