New for 2015
Babu has spent the last six months researching a new trek, one which required no transportation except for "feet power!" During this trek you will meet people who have had little or no contact with outsiders, especially foreigners. You will walk through pine forests, over a suspension bridge across a lake, have tea at traditional Nepali Kitchens, all the while admiring the magnificent scenery. On day 2 and 3 (weather permitting) you can see from Dhaulagiri to Mount Everest which makes it far cheaper than travelling hundreds of kilometres to Annapurna or Everest!
All food, water and tea is included in the trek, as is simple accommodation which is expected to be shared by guests. This trek is designed to show you the real Nepali way of life, and you will not be able to get any western food, or western comforts along the way! (No western toilets, no hot showers)
