Annapurna Region
Annapurna (16 days) For a short trek with few altitude problems, the Annapurna region provides you with unparalleled access to spectacular horizons of snowy peaks, so high that you'll find yourself looking twice before you believe that they are not clouds. As well as providing the views for which the trek is famous, the trail takes you through an ever-changing landscape of rice fields, misty forests and tiny local villages.You will climb gradually along the ridges that are the foothills of the Annapurnas.
Annapurna Panorama (19 days) Along the trail the views of Machapuchare and the Annapurnas are magnificent. The various trails from which we can choose lead us towards such Himalayan giants as Dhaulagiri, Lamjung, Annapurna II, and Machapuchare. Climbing higher, the winding trail passes through magnificent forests of oak and rhododendron that line the southern foothills of the Himalaya. The terrain varies from sub-tropical valleys with banana trees and rice paddies to high ridges clad in thick rhododendron forest. In January and February these may well be covered in snow, while during March and April they will be a blaze of red rhododendron flowers.
Annapurna Circuit Trek (23 days) Outside Kathmandu, its teeming capital, Nepal is a land of remote mountain villages, whose people survive by growing their own food on the thousands of hill terraces that scale even the steepest slopes. Mechanized farming is unheard of here; the fields are ploughed by water-buffalo, the corn harvested and threshed by hand and ground by water mills. If you stay in a trekking lodge, your bread will likely as not be made from flour ground that day, your vegetables freshly harvested from the fields.
Poon Hill Trek (14 days) This trek in the Annapurna foothills to the view point on Poon Hill offers all the best of trekking in Nepal. Enjoy trekking in the spectacular mountain scenery through charming villages inhabited by the Gurungs, dense rhododendron forests full of birds and deep sub-tropical valleys, all set below the Annapurnas with the picturesque fluted peak of Machhapuchhare (Fish Tail Peak) dominating the skyline. At the climax of this trek you will climb Poon Hill at dawn to enjoy one of the most spectacular mountain scapes on Earth. As the sun touches the snow-capped summits the Himalayan giants, Dhaulagiri (8,167m) and Annapurna (8,091m) along with a maze of other peaks, slowly begin to appear, like magic, before our eyes. A rewarding trek that can be enjoyed by every lover of nature and beautiful landscape.
Jomsom - Muktinath Trek (14 days) You will climb gradually along the ridges that are the foothills of the Annapurnas and Nilgiri.. You will pass through many villages where you will have ample time to take photographs and chat with the local people. Language is not a big problem as many of the local people speak English,your Guide will be happy to translate for you. There are many different ethnic groups along the trail, but the predominant people in this area are the Gurungs.
Jomsom Trek (12 days) sightseeing around Jomsom. The Kaligandaki valley here is called the Thakkhola, after the native Thakalis, who are distantly related to the Tibetans. A beautiful walk with another transition into sub – tropical vegetation and the return of water buffalo, banyan trees and Poinsettias. The trail follows the river through a narrow gorge, and descends to cross a bridge near a spectacular waterfall, before winding through the valley to Tatopani. The hot water springs that give the village its name provided the perfect opportunity for a good ‘scrub'.
Manaslu Trek (22 days) Considered as one of the most challenging treks in Nepal, the Manaslu Circuit will reward the adventurous with an unparalleled alpine experience. Opened in 1992, this area offers a combination of rich culture heritage, unsurpassed beauty, and biological diversity.
Manaslu Region - Ganesh Himal (19 days) Between Kathmandu and Pokhara there are three major groups of peaks: Ganesh Himal, Langtang, Manaslu, Himal Chuli these are all less frequented areasl.

Muktinath Yatra Trek (9 days) In Muktinath Vishnu is worshipped at the Temple of the Lord of Salvation (Mukti Nath) and in a little temple next to the Shiva Parvati Mandir. However central to the meaning of Muktinath as a Hindu shrine is the veneration of Lord Vishnu in the form of a Salagram stone. There are many legends dating back more than 2000 years, which tell of Vishnu turning into stone. All of these are closely connected to Saligrama, the area along the Gandaki River, also called Mukti Kshetra (Salvation Field).
Mardi Himal and Machhapuchhare Trek (15 days) This trek offers the opportunity to escape Nepal’s tourist trails to venture in to the deep forests and roam the high alpine pastures that flank the Annapurna ranges. The emphasis of the trek is on the forest and wilderness zone of these mountains. Some villages are visited on the last days of the trek and these receive few visitors and retain much of their traditional charm. There is an essence of exploration on this trek. The trails we follow are not well used and sometimes hard to identify. Sometimes shepherds and pilgrims pass by. Our Annapurna /Machapuchare trek is designed to provide outstanding mountain views, and to get away from the tea-house trails and into the forests and villages that have not felt the impact of tourism.
Annapurna Region - Panchase & the Annapurnas (14 days) The trek commences from the lakeside town of Pokhara traveling south west before looping into the main Annapurna trekking region.
