Trek into Another World ( NEPAL
)
The Himalayan - Abode of the Snows - a
land of immeasurable beauty and inexplicable spiritual
wonders... A place few people visit once in a lifetime.
What is it about this massive upheaval of the earth's
crust, dotted with hamlets and carved into staircases
transcending every life zone, that draws visitors again
and again? Another valley to explore, a distant mountain
range to cross, a hilltop monastery in which to ponder
your inner thoughts... moments to contemplate the past
and the future of humankind, where time seems to stand
still, and your mind is repeatedly drawn to the present.
Not long ago, the Himalaya represented
some of the furthest reaches on earth where only the
hardy or the spirit-driven dared to roam. Much of this
forbidding land was inaccessible to outsiders, and conditions
were unfavorable to most holiday travellers. Over the
last 35 years, spreading outward from the British hill-station
of Darjeeling and the traditional trade routes of Nepal,
mountain tourism has developed to a refined state of
hospitality and convenience that has opened the way
for trekking as the optimal means of Himalayan travel.
Step-by-step is the only way to truly
experience the amazing sights, sounds, and sensations
of the Himalayan, and of the various cultural adaptations
to its many profiles. The pace of trekking allows you
to experience the Himalayan on its own terms, and to
reflect on the world with new eyes. Personal challenges
become doable, like the immense pass that lies ahead
on the path. Bridges are formed between the oddities
of an unknown culture and the familiarities of your
own, built on foundations of an experienced, professional
guide who teaches as she or he goes and paves the way
with compassion and weary eyes.
