Nepal Himalayan Trek 2010. Nepal
19 November 2010 to 29 November 2010
This challenging charity trek will take you through one of the most beautiful and remote parts of the Himalayas. Our route is off the tourist track, and allows access to hidden monasteries and a chance to experience some of the renowned Nepali hospitality and culture. Ascending to just over 4,000m you will catch glimpses of Mount Everest’s celebrated peak, and feel an amazing sense of achievement as you reach the summit of Pike Peak.
More Information
Nepal is a spectacular land of colourful cultures, ancient history and people, superb scenery, and some of the best walking on earth.

Itinerary
- Day 1- We board our international flight bound for Kathmandu.
- Day 2 - On arrival in Kathmandu we are met by our venture leader. We travel to the beautiful Sukute Beach Resort located on the banks of the Bhote Kosi River. Here we have a full briefing from our venture leader.
- Day 3 - Today we have an early start and are able to take in some spectacular views of the Himalayas as we drive to Jiri, where we have lunch. Here we leave the buses and stretch our legs with a gentle walk to our first night's camp at Mali.
- Day 4 - We walk down to the valley of Shivalaya before starting our climb up to Deorali. The trail is the main route for all the porters earning their trade between Lukla and Namche. The route today is peppered with teahouses and Deorali, our campsite for the night, is a lovely small town with more teahouses and a few shops.
- Day 5 - Today is one of the hardest days with a long hard climb but are rewarded with the most stunning views of the valley below. Upon reaching our camp at Kapti (2,400m) we have the evening to take in stunning views of several of the major Himalayan peaks, including, Numbur Himal, Dud Kunda and the Gouri Shankar Himal. All of our local Sherpa Staff are from this village and there is the opportunity to visit their houses and the local school, experiencing this fantastic local culture.
- Day 6 - Today’s trek takes us through fantastic Rhododendron gardens and past amazing Buddhist monasteries. The final section of the trek takes us through a carpet of Hemlock before reaching the camp at Ngaur.
- Day 7 - The route starts through a lovely forest, clearing at about 3,900m, before continuing upwards to conquer the summit of Pike Peak (4,070m). We have time to enjoy the amazing views and if we are lucky and the weather is clear we may get glimpses of Everest. We then head back down to the camp at Ngaur for a well deserved breakfast.
- Day 8 - The fantastic views of snow capped mountains make a great start to the day as we rejoin the porters route and retrace our steps back to Deorali and down into Shivalaya. It is a long descent through terraced fields and forest until we reach our camp, which is located at a peaceful site by the river.
- Day 9 - Today is the final day of our trek and our lunch stop offers us the last look at Pike Peak. Tonight we celebrate our achievements over dinner.
- Day 10 - After a coach trip back to Kathmandu we have the afternoon at our leisure, providing ample time for souvenir shopping and sightseeing.
- Day 11 - We board our return flights to the UK.
