Trekking
Everest region The ultimate Himalayan experience! Trek within a stones throw of the worlds highest mountain through the trail that has captured the imaginations of explorers and mountaineers since its discovery. Trek through areas rich in Buddhist culture, visiting remote Sherpa villages and Nepals Largest Tibetan monastery. Treks into the Everest region involve an internal flight to a remote airport which is very reliant on the weather. Flights are often cancelled through poor visibility. For this reason we recommend you allow a couple of spare days either side of your trek to allow for flight cancellations when planning a trek in the Everest region. Treks in this region also involve high altitude trekking for sustained periods, and trekkers are therefore more prone to getting High Altitude Sickness if they do not acclimatise properly. We therefore also recommend trekkers allow a couple of extra days during their trek should they have problems acclimatising .

There are scores of treks to suit all time frames, budgets and fitness levels. Please get in touch to find out more. “"Trekking in the Himalayas is a life-changing experience. There are so many choices of routes that you can keep coming back here and never see the same things twice. I trekked to Annapurna Base Camp, also known as the Sanctuary trek due to the proliferation of flora and fauna, and it was utterly breathtaking. We walked for around six hours each day and stayed the night in local guesthouses en route. The villages were incredibly friendly. I never would have attempted this on my own, but Nepal Dreams made it seem so easy. Everything was taken care of from the moment I arrived and they also gave me some great advice before I went too. I didn't have to worry about a thing. I had the time of my life, and Nepal Dreams made it all possible." Katie Law - London |
