Annapurna Base Camp Lodge Trek

Come to Nepal, Asia's exotic country nestled in the majestic Himalaya and sign up for a breathtaking 9 day long trek along the southern slopes of the Annapurnas. The destination of this trek is the glacier-covered amphitheater of the 4 130 m Annapurna Sanctuary. Here you will be surrounded by the peaks of Annapurna Range including Annapurna I and the "Fishtail" peak of Machhapuchhare.  On the way you cross the charming villages of the Gurung and Magar ethnic groups, dense rhododendron forests and fertile sub tropical forests.  The reward to effort ratio is higher on this trek than any other Nepal trek. The trek is non-technical and suitable for anyone in good shape who likes hiking over mountain trail and staying at rustic lodges. At the end and the beginning of your journey you can  relax in beautiful 4 **** hotels from where you can explore the scenic surroundings of Pokhara lake and the rich heritage of bustling Kathmandu.

The Great Buddhist Master's Trail

As part of exploring and promoting new trekking trails in the country,Trekking Agencies’ Association of Nepal was organizing a ‘Timal-Mahabharat Trekking Trail Exploration' last week. Our manager Dawa Lama Tamang was very enthusiastic to participate in this mission, as he was born in the Timal region and he is very well aware of the hidden beauty and treasures of this area. During the trek, on a full-moon day in August, the participants did meet animist shamans from different villages and areas which were gathering and celebrating at the Narayanthan Temple in Kot Timal, 75 kms from Kahtmandu. Enjoy the colorful pictures of the fertile Mahabarat range, the Buddhist culture, the crew, the local villagers and the barefoot doctors of the Nepali villages. Route followed : Kathamandu- Panauti-NamoBuddha-Kot Timal, Narayanthan, Nepalthok, Shikhapur, Katar Che, Deurali, Kathmandu. Traveltimes Trek is happy to launch this camping tour in cooperation with TAAN coming September. Copy right Dawa Lama Tamang, Traveltimes Treks Pvt.Ltd.
