Trekking in the Annapurnas - Whilst Everest is the main drawcard for many Nepal holidays seekers, the Annapurna region offer lovely trekking opportunities. Three 8000m giants can be seen on this side of Nepal, namely Annapurna ((8091m), Dhaulagiri (8167m) and Manaslu (8163m).

2. It's obvious that the idea of a trekking holiday in Nepal splits the travelling community. You
either will or you won't. At least that's what you think when you first consider it as your next
adventure travel holiday. Out of all the trekking destinations we offer Nepal is the only one
that people will consider returning to time and time again. Many repeat travelers are those
that would never have thought of it when they first heard the words 'Everest Base Camp' but
for some reason they pursued, or were pestered, with the right information to help them find
a trek that was suitable for them.

3. Trekking in the Annapurnas - Whilst Everest is the main drawcard for many Nepal
holidays seekers, the Annapurna region offer lovely trekking opportunities. Three 8000m
giants can be seen on this side of Nepal, namely Annapurna ((8091m), Dhaulagiri (8167m)
and Manaslu (8163m). Perhaps the most stunning of the mountains in this region is the
Matterhorn of Nepal, Machapuchare. It's fishtail like peak makes it a prime photo
opportunity when the light hits it just right and is widely used in many promotional images
for the Annapurna region.

4. Walking along village trails through forests and terraced fields, we offer a superb Annapurna
base camp trekking itinerary that is well of the main teahouse trails thanks to their fully
supported camping style program me. It won't hit altitude so this is a great first time trek for
those wanting to sample the Nepalese Himalaya. There are many other alternative treks in the
Annapurna region which may tempt you.

5. Trekking to Everest Base Camp - Obviously famous for the Everest Base Camp trek one
does not need to go to these heights to sample the delights of this region. Walking to
Namche Bazaar and even onto Thyangboche on the Sherpa Everest trek, perhaps the most
popular short trek in the Everest region, will allow you to view all the 'pop star' mountains of
the region, such as Everest and the beautiful Ama Dablam. While this trek visits altitude it is
not extreme heights and there is ample time to acclimatise. The shortness of the trek means
you are not that remote and close enough to move back to a lower altitude if needed.
