Everest Trek
Mount Everest region is the most spectacular and most anticipated place on earth. Everyone dreams of experiencing the most awesome trekking spot and no doubt Mount Everest Base Camp has it all. From here tallest peaks Mt. Everest, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Makalu, and Choyu rise above everything else. The Everest Base Camp trek is the grandest walk in the land of the Himalayas. Trekking through the Everest region offers astounding mountain views, and opportunities to get a glimpse into the life of world famous climbers (the Sherpas). The trek also offers the opportunities of going sightseeing around Sagarmatha National Park. And everyone knows the national park is a home for numerous floras and faunas. On trek we can get closer to look at the Buddhist monasteries build at the highest range. A close look at the lifestyle, customs and traditions of the local people is a bonus. But nothing beats the thrill and sense of accomplishment that grips travelers on seeing the power and grace of the mighty Everest up close. Therefore, there is no doubt why it is the peoples and visitors no.1 choice for trekking.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek
There are few treks that combine so many different landscapes and bring you so close to the base of 7,000 and 8,000 m high peaks in a such a short period of time as the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. The Annapurna Base Camp trek is one of the most popular treks in the Annapurna region.  The trail goes alongside terraced rice paddies, lush rhododendron forests, and high altitude landscapes,  with the Annapurna Range in view most of the times. The principal peaks of the western portion of the great Annapurna Himal, including Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Fang, Annapurna, Ganagapurna, Annapurna 3 and Machhapuchhare, are arranged almost precisely in a circle about 10 miles in diameter with a deep glacier-covered amphitheater at the center. From this glacier basin, known as the Annapurna Sanctuary, the Modi Khola knifes its way south in a narrow gorge fully 12,000 ft. deep. Further south, the gorge opens up into a wide and fertile valley, the domain of the Gurungs.  The Annapurna Base Camp Trek can easily be done by yourself if you wish to. It is possible to do this trek in all seasons, however, in the winter the Base Camp is sometimes closed due to the level of snow. In spring time the huge rhododendron forests are in full bloom which gives the trek an extra appeal.
