Covering the majority of Nepal and translating as "abode of snow", the range contains more than 250 peaks, many of which are more than 6,000 metres tall. Perhaps the most famous of all - not just in Nepal but around the world - is Mount Everest. Conquering this magnificent peak has long been an obsession for adventurous travellers, although perhaps the best way to enjoy a hike is to head to Everest Base Camp. Although this means you cannot add your name to the rollcall of people who have reached the summit, it still offers a huge sense of achievement and unrivalled views of the surrounding area, sure to please anyone looking for a Nepal trekking holiday. Going via Gokyo Lake offers a slightly more challenging route for the more experienced trekker, allowing tourists to check out the Cho La pass. If you want to enjoy the challenges and satisfaction first hand try a trekking holiday in Nepal.Our Guides are experienced high elevation mountaineers. They are trained to take you safely into the thin air region of the majestic Himalayas. They are particularly concerned about the acclimatization process.

1. Peak Climbing Preparation:

A. Who organizes?
If you decide to book through an agency, ensure it is a reputable firm that provides proof of its knowledge of the area you wish to visit, as well as of an environmental code of practice.

B. Destination:
Select less traveled routes to reduce impact on popular trails; or
Select or asked to be guided on less frequented alternative trails along the main route.

C. Group size:
Limit your party to about 10 if tenting; larger groups place more strain on tent sites.

D. Clothing and Equipment:
If concerned about being conspicuous, dark or earthen colored clothes, backpacks and tents blend in better with the natural surroundings.
Carry a small stove and fuel for cooking to save on firewood.
Take along a couple of garbage bags to save on firewood.
Use a tent with poles and water proof floor to make it unnecessary to cut trees for tent poles or to dig a ditch for rainwater.
Attach earphones to your (indispensable?) radio or cassette player, so as not to disturb others at a campsite or on the trail.

E. Food:
Repack food from aluminum foil, cans and bottles into plastic bags to reduce weight, space and litter. If it cannot be repacked, consider leaving it at home.
