We provide holidays from first and foremost
walkers to extremist. We try to move each day
rather than being staying in hotels for two or
three days at a time. Booking hotels on a one
night basis and moving luggage every day costs a
little more, but it makes for more interesting
walking routes which we hope will not only be
more enjoyable, but offer a sense of achievement
as well.
CAMPING TREK
Whilst camping on trek - all camping equipment
and gear, including two-person tent, dining
tent, toilet tents, kitchen tent, tables and
stools etc. And comprehensive medical kit, will
be provided. Camping trek allow us to steer away
from the most used tourist tails as we travel as
self contained unit, carrying our own food and
fuel. Our choose clean and the best spot/meadows
to pitch our tent.
LODGE TREK
Staying in a lodge or tea house – we make sure
you get double sharing rooms wherever available.
Single room cannot be guaranteed. At higher
altitudes rooms are either dormitory 3/4 bed
rooms & facilities are basic. Our runner goes
ahead every morning to book the best available
lodge for clean and comfortable stay. All meals
are included on our treks, however we take
additional supply of drinks, chocolates, fresh
fruit and dehydrated food.
CAMPING FOOD
The food that we offer on our outdoor trips is
hygienically prepared in line with International
standards. We use both local and imported
ingredients, and not only offer a variety of
tastes to suit most palates but also nutrition
to keep you healthy throughout your journey with
us. Please advise us in advance regarding any
special dietary requirements so that we can make
arrangement for the same.
VEHICLES SUPPORT
Mostly for Tibet section, your baggage &
equipments will be moved by our own support
vehicle. Often there is a support staff who
moves the camp each day and who organizes the
catering. He is under strict instructions that
the kettle be on and the tents erected when our
party reach.
PORTERS/YAKS/MULS SUPPORT
The trails are much more fun without a heavy
pack to carry, porters or pack animals carry
most of the gear and camp supplies, leaving you
free to hike with only a light day pack. Our
porters are well looked after with provision for
shelter and food with supplementary clothing and
glasses for high altitudes trek and passes.
Making them carry overload is not our style.

obtaining the necessary gear in the most
economical way possible. You have to let us know
in advance though.

personal first aid kit. We recommend that you

variance of certain factors like altitude,
weather conditions, time of year, physical

attitude for our trips. More details concerning

best restaurants are inexpensive.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Whilst every effort is made to keep to the
itinerary as programmed, clients will hopefully
appreciate that most of our trips are adventure
travel in a remote mountain region. Given the
nature of treks there will quite likely be
changes to the itinerary in terms of anything
from on the spot choice of camp site to the day
that a rest day is taken. Weather conditions,
road conditions, vehicle breakdowns off the
beaten track, and local availability of porters,
can contribute to the need for changes. We will
do everything in our power minimize
inconvenienced as little as possible.

We can arrange custom trips for private groups
as well as free independent travellers. Group
discounts are available. |
