The Experience
A good trekking expedition is one completed in style. The participants have a passion for the great outdoors and the mountain environment bears minimal impact from the passing of the group. When all the factors are favorable the group will reach the height of their destination and return home enriched from discovery of self and new places.
Experiencing the sights and sounds of ancient capital cities comes hand in hand with our trekking holidays; these cities include Katmandu, Lhasa, Gantok, Thimpu and many others, whose very name ignites a fire of curiosity and imagination. We use the best available 2-3 star hotels in these cities, as we have found that a little luxury before and after a trek is very welcoming.
Trekking is a wonderfully relaxing pursuit, giving trekkers the chance to make new friends with like-minded people, and interact with locals, who often invite you into their houses for yak-butter tea, or Chang (barley beer). Himalayan natives are caring, generous and often display a mischievous humour - time in their company is often one of the fondest memories you carry home.

| "It was a great benefit to our group to have Raj as our tour leader, his confidence and experience inspired the rest of the group to achieve the trek. It has been great fun but our singing has not improved." | Nigel Burrage, U.K |  |
"For a first or any trip to the Himalayas , this trek couldn't be bettered. Raj clearly has the knack of putting a happy and experienced guides and porters who add to the holiday. Despite a wide age range in the group all got what they wanted from the trip. Raj always had time for all and all interests. His guitar playing in the nights encouraged even the tone deaf to join in and contribute something to the party. A great trip." |

"The trip was fantastic! It was everything I expected and far more! Yes the trekking was brilliant. Very hard at times, but well and truly worthwhile each time I looked up and saw the scenery. In addition whenever the terrain or altitude got tough Raj was there to give some verbal support. He was able to lighten up all situations. I definitely recommend the Annapurna Sanctuary tour to everyone, particularly I Raj is there to give you the supportive, fun and welcoming hand through it." |

"I don't normally do organized trips but it was everything I could've hoped for. Raj had the professionalism and knowledge to make the trip a very authentic one. We had the freedom to what we wanted when we wanted and when times got quiet (which was very minimum) Raj was always there with his guitar and singing skills. It was an amazing Himalayan experience- one to remember for a lifetime." |

"The entire trip was terrific. Enjoyed everything. Thought the trip was well organized and well run. Nepal is the most beautiful place on earth and Raj helped us to see it and understand it better. Thanks" |

"Well . where to start? This was a brilliant trip. I had an absolute ball! (Thanks Raj). Energy must be saved for dancing in the evenings as that can be more taxing than the 2 hours uphill. Every drop of sweat and gasp of air is worth the satisfaction of reaching base camp, the beauty makes all the puffing worthwhile. The only place I would walk for 7 hours after a night on the toilet and vomiting in the garden!! Thanks Raj for helping me up the hill to Chomrong. I thought those stairs would never end. It will be sad to leave but at least I have some new dance moves to take to the clubs in London !! Thanks" |

"What a good time! Presently dancing with all those wonderful Nepalese porters and Sherpas, a real celebration of the past week plus. The trek was great- pace set by Dhan, Rattan with Raj keeping us bojus (grandmothers) company at the rear. Lots to look at, marvel, photograph, endless stairways to heaven, and then descend s equally endless. Long stretches of seemingly uninhabited country then suddenly a settlement with buildings, buffaloes, people, sidewalk shops and food and shelter (Tadapani). I'd recommend this trip to the moderately fit or better." |

An excellent introduction to the joys of nepal, exploring the Kathmandu and Pokhara valley and enjoying the immense beauty of the Himalayas. 3 nights are spent in the Chitwan National Parkand given enough time for low altitude.
