Nepal Trekking Tours
In the Nepal Himalayas are a galaxy of the world's highest mountains, Everest, Makalu, Gauri Shankar, Ganesh Himal, Manasalu, annapurna, Dhaulagiri. The weird formation of the three annapurna summits (all 8000m) looks like a huge marble platform , fifteen kilometres across. Beyond Annapurna, the great Himalayas dip down to the Gandak river gorge, making it one of the most fearsome sights in the world, with the range rising on the other side of the gorge to Dhaulagiri. Beyond Dhaulagiri is the maze of mountain systems of Kanjiroba Himal and Api, until you come to the Garhwal Himalayas.

Pokhar is a popular base for treks into the valleys. Popular Nepal treks are the Helambu trail, ghorepani trek, Sherpa village trek & the Royal Pokhra trek, a popular trek first trekked by HRH Prince of Wales in 1980.
