TREKKING TOURS IN NEPAL

The history of adventure trekking in Nepal dates back to 1949, when Bill Tilman was first granted permission to explore the high valleys of this Himalayan kingdom. Spectacular mountain scenery, picturesque villages, friendly people and diverse culture, together with a network of superb trekking trails, are what makes Nepal so irresistible and keeps people coming back year after year. For 30 years, One World Trekking has been organizing and guiding a wide range of trekking adventures for all levels of interest and ability. We have decided to focus our Nepal program on the tried and true Classic Himalayan Trekking Tours along with a sprinkling of unique Himalayan Trekking Epic Journeys. Our goal is to provide you with well-priced, fully-supported quality trips that will keep you coming back to Nepal.

Bhutan, home to some of the world's greatest trekking adventures, is situated in a hidden corner of the eastern Himalaya. The rugged country within these borders forms a giant staircase, from a narrow strip of land in the south, at an altitude of 1,000 feet, up to some of the highest of Himalayan peaks in the north, rising to over 20,000 feet. A sparsely populated country, Bhutan enjoys jealously guarded isolation and stunning mountain scenery. More than 90% of the population are hill farmers who live in small villages spread over some 18,000 square miles of rugged and mountainous country. Buddhist teachings and philosophy are influential throughout the kingdom, as they have been since the 7th century and a traditional reverence for nature has led to Bhutan imposing some of the strictest standards of environmental preservation in the world. Almost 70% of the land is still under forest cover and home to some of the rarest of Himalayan wildlife. In this country known as ‘‘the Land of the Thunder Dragon,” the fortunate visitor will find a rare combination of magnificent natural beauty, Buddhist culture and inspiring architecture.

The mountain regions of Northern India are home to a fascinating variety of spectacular mountain landscapes, remote and picturesque villages, ancient monasteries and a colorful Buddhist culture. The many diverse mountainous territories of Ladakh and Zanskar offer almost limitless opportunities for adventure trekking. One World Trekking has worked in this part of the world for almost 30 years and our first-hand experience enables us to put together a small selection of unique trekking vacations in this far-flung Buddhist kingdom.
