Many vacation or tour packages in Nepal concentrate on the holy sites, way of life, and culture of the locals while combining sightseeing, elephant-back safaris, soft adventure activities, hiking, and rafting in the Himalayan region.
Bhutan, the mysterious and magical kingdom of the Himalayan Mountain Dragon. From arrival to departure, lodging to meals, flight tickets to and from Bhutan's Paro Airport, sightseeing throughout, and a whole lot more.
With its unique lofty spirit, exotic culture, lifestyle, distinctive highland scenery, Buddhist culture, natural heritage, and welcoming people, Tibet, the roof of the globe, is an eternal theme and true dream adventure for a great number of people.
We had a extremely positive experience with Chhatra Karki and Nepal Eco Adventure. As two women in our 50s we wanted a challenge in an interesting location where we mixed with the local people and we got that with the Tamang Heritage Trail. What a delight it was trekking between villages in the Rasuwa region staying in guest houses with delicious food served up 3 times a day. The dhal bhat, Tibetan bread, momos, fruit platters and nettle soup (cooked up by our guide) unfortunately ensured we did not arrive home any lighter. The scenery was amazing and people with experience in Nepal who saw my photos remarked it looked like trekking in Nepal 30 years ago before commercialisation of the region. Our guide Chhiring Sherpa and porter Kaji Sherpa were outstanding young men who made our trip even more enjoyable with their quiet efficiency and friendly polite demeanour and we never felt rushed up and down the mountainsides. We were able to take plenty of photos and stop for a breather when we needed it (which was often). We were instructed by Chhatra to help the local economy by shopping and we were happy to oblige. After a meal at our guesthouses the local women on request would bring out their home made wares. Lots of scarfs, hats, gloves, jewellery and bags made for excellent souvenirs and presents. The only tip for booking this particular trip is to budget for a private 4 wheel drive with driver to get in and out of the trail head at Syabrubesi. I will be back to trek in Nepal and I won't hesitate to book with Nepal Eco and I know my friend Alison feels the same.
