We have the experienced guides to introduce you to the fascinating experience of high altitude mountaineering.
The Kingdom of Nepal is blessed with the most awe inspiring gift of nature anywhere in the world. It is home to the mighty Himalayas, which means "abode of snows" in Sanskrit. These mountains are the root of thousands of years of Nepali culture. They intimidate us with their overwhelming size and humble us with their apparent immortality. The Himalayas are home of the highest mountains in the world including the highest of them all Mt. Everest. Mt. Everest (Sagarmatha as the Nepalese call it) rises to the top of the Himalayas at 29,028 ft.
Gifted with the tallest mountain in the world, the Mount Everest, Nepal is also an abode to the world's most astounding mountains. Although the country is relatively small (147,181 square kilometers), 80 percent of its territory is occupied by the imposing peaks. Nepal was closed to foreign visitors until 1951, a situation which contributed greatly to its mystique in the west. This small, hospitable country has since become an exceptionally popular destination for travelers, whether they are in search of climbing challenges or spiritual enlightenment.
Nepal can be divided into three geographical regions, each stretching from east to west across the country. The southernmost strip of land, the Terai, is bordered to the north by Himalayan foothills and to the south by the Ganges River. The area was originally covered with tropical vegetation, but has been almost completely converted to agricultural production. The Terai is now the breadbasket of Nepal and is covered with farms. The central section of Nepal is formed by the Mahabharat Chain, a range of mountains that reach modest altitudes of 2,000-3,000 meters. Terrace farming has become an important activity in the area producing rice, corn and wheat. The Kathmandu Valley, the stretch of green in the middle of the Mahabharat, is home to Nepal's capital and other historic cities.
The Himalaya's stretch across the northern section of Nepal. Eight of the ten highest peaks in the world are located here, and most are covered with permanent snowfields. The area is sparsely populated, with little vegetation above the tree-line (4,200 meters). The climate varies considerably with elevation. Monsoon prevails form the month of May to October drenching the Terai with rain. During this season, one can witness plenty of snow falls on the Himalayan peaks. The weather during mid-October to mid-December is considered to be the best for mountaineering with crystal clear skies and bright sun. Temperatures ranges from warm in the lowlands to crisp in the mountains. March and April are also good months for mountain treks, although temperatures in Kathmandu and the Terai tend to be steamy.
