Trekking in the Himalayas

Saturday, August 20, 2022

The Himalayan Mountain regions provide some of the finest trekking in the Himalayas routes available anywhere. Nepal can be divided into three distinct regions: the north, the Himalayas, the high mountainous region, the middle hill district, and the lowland Terai region to the south offers some of the most fantastic hiking in the world.

Treks vary from high altitude routes, some of which visit base camps used by the 8000m mountaineering expeditions, to easy short treks within the Kathmandu Valley and lower hill country where you’ll travel through pretty villages, subtropical lowlands, vast meadows, and forests, fast flowing rivers, deep canyons and even the cold and barren regions at the feet of the great mountain peaks. The views change with the seasons, with different stages of planting and harvesting cycles in the villages and valleys and the brilliant display of wildflowers in spring and autumn.

Trekking in the Himalayas with Peregrine Treks – one of the Himalayan Trekking companies. An adventure is a walking holiday with a small group of other trekkers. Experienced and professional English-speaking local guides lead this company. We use professionally trained and experienced local Sherpa guides or Sirdars on our treks, tours, and expeditions and are confident in their ability and experience. Local guides are integral to providing you with the best travel experience. Not only can they share your local knowledge and insights, but at the same time, you are contributing to the local economy and supporting local communities.

Moreover, whatever route you choose, you’ll be sure to meet local people and enjoy stunning landscapes as you walk at your own pace along well-established village trails. Some of the popular trekking trails are used by climbing expeditions on their approach marches. Most have been used for hundreds of years by the local Nepalese for everyday travel and trade.

Teahouse trekking in the Himalayas:

On the more popular treks in Nepal, particularly in the Everest, Langtang, and the entire Annapurna region, enterprising villagers have built tea-house lodges, similar to European-style alpine lodges offering simple but comfortable accommodation and food. We offer a selection of single/twin sharing rooms in the best available lodges that run to a high level of service. We also supply a four-season sleeping bag and cotton liner on our teahouse treks. If you need anything, please hire other vital items that can be arranged in advance. During the trek, you’ll have three meals daily, with a mixture of European and Asian-style dishes and large portions. Soft drinks, sweets, mineral water, and alcohol are not included.

 

Fully provisioned camping-style trekking in the Himalayas:

This is the classical style of trekking, and this type of trek is still practiced in remote areas. Porters, yaks, horses, or mules carry the main baggage, and there are Team leaders, Guides, and Sherpas to complete the trek. The Sherpa’s primary duty is to complete all the camping work, set up the tents, provide meals with a like server, and make the camp clear before departure from the camping site. Usually, trekking companies provide twin shared dome or A-frame sleeping tents, a kitchen tent, a mess tent, and a toilet tent. We also provide tables, chairs or stools, lanterns/candles, and thin sleeping mattresses. Also, all crockery, cutlery, and a fully equipped kitchen set up.

 

The Sherpa crew member and kitchen team wake up early in the morning. They provide hot water to wash your face, prepare tea/coffee, and have breakfast. This team will move fast and prepare lunch and dinner during the trek. We will serve Asian and Western dishes, and you can choose your dishes at the time of the booking, too. Soft drinks like Coke, Fanta, sweets, alcoholic drinks, etc., are not included. But hot chocolate, boiled water, seasonal fruits, and meats will be served during trekking a few times.
