INTRODUCTION
Nepal is a country in a league of its own with breathtakingly beautiful scenery, a fascinating culture and friendly people. Meeting the villagers whilst trekking through this landlocked gem of a nation is one of its greatest pleasures.
Our route takes us via the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar through beautiful valleys, dense forests and across glacial rivers before we reach the renowned viewpoint of Kalapatar, on the approach to Everest Base Camp, and see the highest mountain on the planet. We also have time to explore the colourful and frenetic capital of Kathmandu.
ALL OUR OPEN CHALLENGES ARE ADVENTUROUS AND CHALLENGING BUT ACHIEVABLE BY MOST PEOPLE PROVIDED THEY TRAIN WELL IN ADVANCE!
