Trekking

Pike Mountaineering & Trekking lead treks to all parts of Nepal, and into some areas of Tibet.

Our popular treks are:

Annapurna circuit -14 days
Annapurna sanctuary
Gorkha - 11 days
Helambu - 13 days
Everest base camp - 20 days
Langtang-Gosainkunda - 14 days
Kailash - 14 days
Rongbuk / Everest - 6 days

We always design treks to suit the party's fitness and interests and have at least 2 experienced guides to lead each trekking party. For larger parties we have extra assistant guides. Guides duties include itinerary advice, route selection, distance management, looking after all party members, booking accommodation and meals, and organising porters.

We employ porters to carry packs so each party member only carries a light day pack containing personal items and extra clothes. Treks are either camping treks, or lodge treks.

Camping treks:

We provide modern 2-person tents, a dining tent, a cooking tent, tables and chairs and toilets. Good tent sites exist near most villages. Meals are prepared by our cook with assistance from the guides.

Lodge treks:

The party stays overnight at a lodge and meals are provided by the lodge owner.

Equipment:

In addition to camping equipment we supply kit bags, down jackets and sleeping bags for high altitude use.

Itineraries

Trek itineraries are organised so that trekking time is not more than 6 hours, with frequent stops for refreshments, photography, etc and rest days as required for acclimatisation.
