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.
